National Scrapbooking Month is Here!

National Scrapbooking Month is here, and that means that summer is right around the corner!  Are you ready for a Taste of Summer? I know that I’m counting down the days until school ends and I am free to play. I have lots of plans for the summer that involve creative play in the sense of getting outside and enjoying nature, updating my blog and filming online workshops, and exploring the programs I’m using for my video game design course. Yes, that one is for school, but it is still a major form of play for me! I’m also looking forward to exploring my creativity through papercrafting. After taking nearly a year-long break from memory keeping, I’m finding it hard to get back into scrapbooking, so I’m going to focus my time on making cards…and actually sending them! I’m also finding that I’m having fun creating gift items for people, and that’s the first class I’m going to share with you.

So, here’s how it works. Simply purchase $25 or more on my website by the end of May, and I will send you a link to the online video workshop.
