Welcome Emily!  We have a great group here and on FB and really love getting to know each other and sharing our memories through the pages we create.  It is SUCH fun and if you hang around awhile you will surely get some ideas and inspiration - always feel free to share a thought, or ask a question!  We all started as newbies and really love to help each other and encourage each other too!

Welcome!

Lisa J.

I just remembered I was supposed to do one yesterday!!!! I was getting the calendar class together and forgot!  I hope you guys forgive me!  I will try to work on this challenge today!

Thanks Jess and Shawn for being such great SUITE GALS!!!  You girls and Sarah are doing a GREAT JOB!!!

Wanna impress family and friends with your phenomenal crafting skills???

This fun and easy project can do just that!  The calendars can be created ahead of the holiday rush and put away for gift giving later on!  Make sure you print up an extra one to keep for yourself!   

The CD case calendars are created and printed at home - or at a printers - usually two months to an 8.5 x 11" page and trimmed out by hand or with trimming tools to fit standard CD cases that can be special ordered or purchased in a number of different locations.  They work best with the standard cases, and not the "slimline" version.  All the pages store neatly INSIDE the CD case for gift giving and when the cover of the case is flipped open, it creates a cool little display stand for the desk!

The 4x6 case calendars are the same idea, but one step EASIER!  Because they are created in a 4x6 layout/arrangement - you can print them straight to 4x6 photo paper or send them to your favorite photo printing site and you don't even have to trim them out!  I found a great resource for the 4x6 cases and even with printing costs and the case order, you can usually create these for under $5.00 each. 

During this new ONLINE workshop - we will work together to get you calendar project started - you will learn enough to get one project finished, and then have the skills to create as many more as you need to make sure everyone on your list gets one!  The great thing is, pages (months) can be mixed and matched so you can create different versions for everyone on your list!

They even make GREAT gifts for that hard-to-buy-for teacher!  Just snap a few photos of kids in class over the next few weeks and you will have everything you need.

I will show you how you can create these easy to make calendars from kits and papers you already have, in addition to showing you how you can use pre-created designs from digital scrapbooking websites for an unlimited variety!

I will host the first CALENDAR WORKSHOP on Saturday, October 2 - from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm (Eastern).  The class will be limited to 15 participants so you must sign up ahead of time to get the link.  We will host the workshop again several times over the next few weeks, so if you can't join us this time, no worries!!  I will try to record it as well, so if you can't catch a workshop, you can still get them done!

There will be several items I would like you to have completed BEFORE the workshop starts - and even if you have beginner level skills with MMS you WILL be able to do this project!

So, please send an email IF you can definitely make the Saturday 10/02/10 from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm time and we will see how it goes!

There will be no charge for this workshop and you will receive (as a little "thank-you" for attending) a FREE set of 2011 calendar overlay png's and a little shopping code for the Design Shop. 

Please only sign up if you can make the scheduled time - I will post another workshop time later in the week!

Hope to hear from you soon!
... and don't forget to make a memory today!!

I promise I did start the challenge with Sarah, I got the solid paper and the patterned paper, then when I went to select my picture, I got all sidetracked doing a page from Emily's (my youngest daughter) and her BFF Holly's baptism day!  It was such a special day and I totally got CARRIED away!  But I was working on it during the challenge time, so I am hoping to get 1/2 a point for that!

Thanks for the great challenge Sarah!  Awesome as always!
