Stretch Your Stamps 2

I LOVE OnlineCardClasses.com. This is perhaps the 5th class I've taken, and I always feel like I've gotten my money's worth in just the first couple of days. The instructors are fun and inspiring, and judging by the student cards posted in the Gallery, we've all managed to turn out some pretty nice cards!

Today is Day 4, and although I've watched all the videos and downloaded all the .pdf's, I've only managed to complete two cards, both from Day 1.



I'm at work on a card from Day 3 and I hope to get more done tomorrow when I get home from my knitting group. Love these classes!

Maddy's Scrapbook Page

Maddy spent some time in my craft room making a scrapbook page about her trip to the Loxahatchee River Center. There was a touch tank and it took her a while to work up her courage to touch the sea cucumber, which looked like a giant slug to me. I certainly didn't touch it!

Anyway, the sole extent of my help was to print out the picture she wanted to use, and help her find whatever products she had in mind. Grandma, do you have any lace? Where are the rub ons? Are there any pink letters? The design and execution are all hers and I think it came out nicely. I notice she talked about herself in the third person in the journaling, like I would, but then signed the page in the bottom corner.

I think I'm going to encourage her to scrap every time she comes over and keep her layouts in an album of her own.
