I don't normally just post links for y'all to go visit if they aren't scrappy related. However, someone shared this page with me and it is so inspiring, I thought I'd share with you, too.

Librophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries

Don't be intimidated by the title. It's basically a collection of images of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Just gorgeous.

My favorite - about one-third of the way down the page: Handelingenkamer Tweede Kamer Der Staten-Generaal Den Haag, the Hague, Netherlands Surprise, surprise. It's a gorgeous red color. And that spiral staircase? Gorgeous.

What's your favorite?

Oct. 6th - Book Signing and Class Near Atlanta

Look at this cute ad that Kimberly Archer designed for my upcoming class and book signing on October 6th! Kimberly is so talented, I'm proud I was able to include her work in my book!

Anyway, the image (click on it for a larger version) has some of the details but if you'd like more information, check in with the store, EMI Scrapbook Store in Cumming, Georgia. I think they're selling spots quickly but check anyway. I'd LOVE to see some of my bloggy friends there!

Registration is OPEN!

Hey all. Very quick post to let you know that registration for my Big Picture Scrapbooking workshop, Doodle All Day, is now open! Registration lasts about a month and then the class begins October 4th and lasts four weeks. Check out BPS for the who, what, where, when, and why! Hope to see you on there!

One of my favorite techniques

This is by far, one of my favorite techniques. Doodle a little something, color it in, and cut it out. Then, make a bunch of them in different sizes and adhere some flat, and some with 3-D.

For this layout I used only one piece of Frances Meyer paper, white cardstock to doodle on, and a little black Stickles to dot all the "i's" and other little dots for a tiny bit of blingyness. And of course, my Sakura Pigma Micron in .08. I used a Sakura yellow Glaze pen and a teeny bit of black Stickles to dot the i's. And you just gotta love those micro-tip scissors, huh?

Anyway, this is a FUN and EASY and INEXPENSIVE way to scrap. Try it. And then share!

Have a good one.

Doodle All Day at Big Picture Scrapbooking

FINALLY! Finally, I've got it together. Let me tell you. Those awesome gals over there at Big Picture Scrapbooking work like crazy pulling classes together. They're not as easy as they look to get together either. I'm working my butt off and am SUPER excited about the class. Registration will start in the next couple of weeks. Once you register, you'll even get a copy of my book, Doodling for Papercrafters. I'll let you know as soon as registration is up and ready.

Anyone else in a rut right now? I was in a BIG rut until today. THANK HEAVENS! I felt like I would never get a page done ever again! But I did. I scrapped three pages today - which is a lot for one day for me. Now, if I can only find the time to take pictures of them to share on my blog.... hmmm... maybe tomorrow.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day. :)
