Yey a holiday for scrapbookers! Can´t get better than that right? So what is everybody doing? Scrapbooking until your fingers are achy and run out of glue dots?We are hosting a little crop, the usual friends are coming over to the office and we´ll eat a lot, talk and hopefully do something scrapbook related lol.
As I mentioned before we had a class at the brand new LSS in the city, and off we were yesterday afternoon and here are my impresions (I´m trying to be very objective):
- First of all it was with a teacher I had already taken classes before when I first started scrapbooking, she works amazing and is very talented but is a bit stuck on really clean lines, perfect measuring, color coordination and following the rules something that is clearly not my style anymore and in 3 years she hasn´t been able to evolve or to change a bit so it was a bit dissapointing.
- Second they mentioned it was going to be a class with an acrylic album, wrong it was a MM plastic album with paper pages in a size I hardly ever work, if to them that is acrylic I´m scared to see what they call blackboard.
- The kit was a bit expensive $30 bucks for a two sheets of cardstock, two patterned papers and a few embellies and very little ribbon, felt very expensive but still no problem.
- I got to half of my book and got so bored I simply stopped, it had no challenge, nothing new to bring to my scrapbooking life.
- I brought my own trimmer and toolbox so I didn´t need to borrow anything and two girls in front of me that I had never seen in my life started using my trimmer and tacky glue without even asking if they could, to me that feels rude, I would love to lend them stuff and have no problem with my friends but tacky glue is expensive and I rather use it myself thats why I buy it, I have no problem with my friends using my stuff really, but couple of chick I´m never going to see again in life, nope not happening.
- The owners provided of a really nice place, soda, coffee, cookies and were super pleasant all the time always caring about we could need.
So it was very dissapointing because I thought it could be something new but well you live and learn and if you need some basic lessons on scrapbooking is perfect but I want to believe I´m a bit over that, I´m happy making mistakes, not measuring, and certainly staining everything as much as I can.
Here are a couple of pics of us there:
From left to right:

The new blog look is great! Really bright and pretty!
Sorry your class wasn't all you had hoped...that's one of my biggest worries with these card classes - that people feel they didn't get their money's worth.
Great photos of you and your friends - have a terrific weekend :)
Oh but you make such awesome things I would looove to take a class with you, I´ve seen your work and it gets better and better. It was a good class just not what I had in mind.
Hey, I love your new blog look! I think it really fits you! :-)
The blog looks great! Too bad that the class was so disappointing. Happy National Scrapbook Day!
