Oh my, last night I went to a late night crop with several girls from my church. It was so awesome, so many talented ladies with beautiful pages. The class was taught by my friend Sara Curtis (who I guarantee will be a FAMOUS scrapbooker someday). The wealth of knowledge that Sarah has about scrapping is amazing. She’s so totally fun and into helping everyone acheive the very best pages possible. So once a month she holds a late night scrap and everyone brings there pages to work on. She teaches a class on different techniques or how to get the most out of your time, how to organize your pics etc. She even organizes door prizes and snacks – the girl is just too cool! Sarah is coming over to my house this week so I can teach her about photoshop and how to digitally scrap and also how to adjust her pictures to perfection. I’m so glad that I went, I just mainly was curious and didn’t bring pages to do but I’m all geared up now. I’m still totally in love with Digi scrapping and think that is what I will do mostly however I do have boxes and boxes of pictures that I think I will scrapbook traditionally as well since they are already printed off and ready to go. The very best website out there on the web has got to be Two Peas in a Bucket

.I highly recommend checking it out for inspiration, friendship, techniques and the hottest trends in scrapbooking right now. I just go there to drool over everyones beautiful work and then I do my own thing. As I told Maja last night at the crop I think it’s really important to allow yourself and your own personality to shine through. Don’t ask others if you can or can’t do something, just do what is a reflection of Your own STYLE as I feel scrapbooking is really a gift of yourself and how you see the world through pictures and art. It’s not about being somebody else or copying their design, it’s about finding the techniques that YOU love and making your pages come alive for you.
