WOWZERS!

So it's been a little while since I last updated. But I was on vacation with the family at camp and had no access to a computer.

Anyways, news, news and news.

First off, Stampin Up! Has a new mini that will be available for viewing online soon. However, you can keep tabs on that by visiting my Stampin Up! Website .

(links for websites aren't working, so I had to type them in, please copy and paste them into your address bar, thank you)

Also, if you visit that website and are from the Sudbury, Ontario are, you will be able to see the listings of my events, classes and workshops.

This month I have a crazy super good class that will be happening on July 29 th. The info for that is available here.

I've also decided at the last minute that this will be a Xmas in July themed class. So it should be very fun. I'm thinking of posting pictures of this class online. Maybe I will. If I remember to take any.

Anyways, a month back I made my very first mini album, which you can view here,

based on Kathy Orta's Envelope album, yes that's right. ENVELOPES. The entire thing is made out of envelopes. You can find the tutorial at this youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/kathyorta?feature=

Keep in mind that I changed the decorations. 

I also made another mini album, where I had to make my own envelopes. I have to admit, I like this idea better, because I changed all the measurements to the sizes I wanted. No need to buy envelopes here, just card stock. This tutorial

is amazing and very easy to follow. Take your notes first and then, buy the supplies and adjust the measurements to your liking. It's time consuming but very rewarding. And I just love listening to Claire speak. The videos are very informative and helpful.

I plan on posting pictures of my two albums and some I'm currently working on in the near future.

So remember, those are called Envelope mini albums, paper bag mini albums, or just plain old mini scrapbook album.
