1st Lesson from Jessica Sprague

Since I had already tried learning Photoshop on my own, with lots of free tutorials & books, etc. I began my classes with JS at the intermediate level with the Now We're Rockin' class.  I can't begin to tell you how much I learned in just the few short lessons from this class. Absolutely wonderful! This was when I finally started to realize that anything is possible with this crazy software!  Keep in mind that this layout was from an earlier version of the class and she has added loads of new content, but similar. Also, she has added different supplies from other designers that are now part of her store or some from other digi relationships. :) I think the new stuff looks just as fabulous and keeps everything fresh and up to what is trending now in the Scrapbooking World. Anyway, just wanted to share a few of the neat layouts.

Daisy Chains Journaling reads: We took a trip with Grandma and Grandpa Cobb to see their home state of Michigan in the summer of 1999. The Cobb Family was having a reunion...Aunt Esther’s home in Sandusky, MI.  Sandusky was such a beautiful place. The pond at Aunt Esther’s was serene and relaxing. Miriam loved the grass. It was so soft and luxurious, no stickers. Cousin Kimi made...daisy chain crowns. Always remember your delight that day playing barefoot outside, pretending to be fairies and princesses...& daisies.

As you can see here, the class supplies are just awesome!

More from the older version of Now We're Rockin'

She has the cutest smile!!

Text: Finally I'm Finished! Way to go, Josey! Joselyn wanted to 'do school' with her big sisters. Every day, Josey would ask, 'Mom, can we do my cutting school now?' She was so proud when she completed her workbook

Josey loved using this workbook by Kumon. It was what she called 'her cutting school' and it was a wonderful way to use her time while mom was helping her big sisters with their school work.

All of the supplies used were from the class supplies of Now We're Rockin' from Jessica Sprague.

Capture the Flag!

This layout comes from the Now We're Rockin' class by Jessica Sprague. It was from an earlier version of the class & I think the new class looks fantastic!!

Here's what it says!

Capture the Flag Two Teams. Two Flags. Over 250 Water Balloons. Purple Against Orange. Separated by more than 100 yards of Wooded Cover. When you can't seem to score or get your sister's flag... ...send in the 4 yr old! Circle Text: In war there is no substitute for victory. Gen. MacArthur There is at least one thing worse than fighting with Allies-And that is to fight without them. Sir Winston Churchill I gave them fair warning. Pres. Geo W Bush

All of the supplies used were from the class materials except for the splatter brush.

This was an awesome day of fun! We just played and played...of course this was after filling the hundreds of water balloons. :) I love my family!

Safari, So Good

One more sneak peek at a darling kit made with love for my darling new niece, Ava! (I haven't even been able to hold her yet!)  :(
I'll be making a baby album for her using these! Yea!

I had special help from Josey making this kit!

Sneaky Peeky

I really like Junie B. Jones.  Sneaky Peeky Spying was a hoot! We read her books by Barbara Park and listened to the tapes and CDs read by Lana Quintal when my older girls were younger.  My youngest is being introduced to the world of Junie B. now and my family is finding that Junie B. still has a special place in our hearts.

Now for my Sneaky Peek...
Redesigned a bit of my 'Espresso Yourself' collection.

kaBoks Opening

The store opening has moved just a bit to iron out all the kinks and to offer more to the customers & crafters. So excited about being a part of this community. I will have 3 collections to start with the store opening and thought I would share some sneak peeks with you here!

These are the paper packs for the Chantilly Collection. And here are some of the elements...

Can't wait to see you all there at the Store's Opening!!! Be on the look-out for some freebies to coordinate with my kits!

Other Scrapbook LayOuts

I have made loads of LOs and posted them (usually) to whatever class I was learning at the time. I also have most of them on my personal FaceBook acct, but haven't added them here yet. So be on the lookout for déjà vu if you have seen these on my FB!!
