(I'm linking this layout up at Ella Publishing for their Spring Training challenge.)
I was looking around on Shimelle's blog today - wondering if the information for her next online class, Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers, would be posted, and I found out about a year long FREE class she is offering on her blog (and at Two Peas in a Bucket). It is called 4x6 Photo Love. Hurray! I love 4x6 photos. I pretty much always use 4x6 photos and I don't usually crop either. And I was in the scrapbooking mood today with a bit of free time on my hands, so I dove right in.
The sketch used a row of 3 vertical photos. I often use this design when working with 3 vertical 4x6 photos so that was not new to me. What was new was clustering and using so many embellishments. I am emebellishment challenged, so this was a great exercise for me. I was tempted to leave off all of the yellow stars but I wanted to have fun today so I kept plugging away until I followed the sketch just about to the letter. And I really like how it turned out!
I can't wait for April's class! Thanks for the free class. : )
PS The other layout I did was yesterday!
COMING UP ON THE BLOG
TOMORROW: Today I took photos of myself every hour on the hour - I'll post them tomorrow. It's a great way to document the everyday.
*Sunday, April 17 - Alphanumeric Blog Hop for fun! This one is hosted by blog friend, Mel from her blog, I Speak Melsh. Stay tuned for more details. This one sounds very, very interesting...
ONE LITTLE WORD Blog Hop
*May 1 - OLW Monthly Blog Hop (One on 1) - I host this blog hop every month on the 1st. It is a blog hop for students of Ali Edwards' One Little Word class at Big Picure Classes. You can still sign up for the class as well as the blog hop (if you are a student). For the class, go to BigPictureClasses.com and for the blog hop, go to the OLW classroom message boards and there is information on how to sign-up in the Chit Chat section.
FAMILY x 12 Mini Blog Hop
* May 5 I will have a mini blog-hop to showcase my monthly personal project FAMILY x 12. If you are taking a monthly family photo (or would like to start) and would like to join us for a little support, motivation and light accountability, leave me a comment or send me an email and I'll be in touch with the details. (A family photo can be whatever you define as family, even if that is just you and your spouse/partner or you and your cat [dogs count too]!)
In this case the stars really work - like Uncle Rich is earning gold stars for being so cool!

Thanks, Cheri! I like the idea of thinking of them like gold stars. :)

I could see it from the photo that you and your family are really closed with each other, wish i could make my own family like you.
