love love love love

its aloha friday! no work till monday...a dooby doo, doo doo doo dooby doo...... i think those are the right lyrics, but the words arent fitting to me exactly cuz i gotta work tomorrow too!

tonight is the "Gift for Mom" class. for this class, we will have kids make a gift for their moms, but mom cant see the gift until mothers day! this is the first time we're doing a class like this, and i think its gonna be great! we are going to do another class like this for father's day too.

i finally have pictures from National Scrapbook Day! for NSD, we had a scavenger hunt and took everyone's picture when they finished. heres a few, take a peek:

Dr. Ashley

Dr. Brenda

Dr. Alex and his mom Dr. Erin

Dr. Nicole

and the winner of the prize basket, Janice!

i'll bet she had fun playing with her new "surgical supplies" for those who came and participated, thanks for coming out, we had lots of fun with you! and a big thank you to the croppers who spent their time here at Scrapbook Heaven!

i got a chance to update the class schedule for may (sorry it took me a whole week, idk why i didnt check that!) but if you see the "dirty elegance" thats my class! it was a series i started a couple years ago but havent been able to re-ignite until now! in this class, i use different distressing techiniques to make a scrapbook page or two. for this month's class, i am using 5 sheets of printed paper and 6 sheets of cardstock to make a bunch of different things including 2 8x8 layouts, a matchbook bragbook, a card and a couple more goodies! here is a sneak peek at some of the ingredients.

this class is on friday may 15th from 6:30pm.

i have one more thing before i get going and its a little off topic but still fun! i want you to meet my new best friend, Shaggy!

he is such a cutey! he is chihuahua with a little bit of dachshund. you can really see the dachshund in his nosey! so far he's been sleeping a lot, and he is such a well behaved little boy.

if you wonder why we named him shaggy, its because our two beagles are scooby and daphne ;)

see you later!

yeah see, that picture up there proves it!! :) so what have i been busy doing? well....you know how we love cardstock right? right! i went through our bazzill swatch book and decided to get some new colors! we've never really re-vamped our selection of bazzill, but now we are! so far, we are bringing in over 15 new colors! including these:

turquoise mist

patina

navajo

kachina

i havent had a chance to go through the neutrals yet, but im going to see about some new browns and creams and then look into black and white in different textures. if any of you have a special request for colors, let us know! or if you'd like to look at our swatches and place a bulk order for invites, favors or just to have, feel free to let us know when you stop by Scrapbook Heaven!

before i go, i'd like to ask if any of you would want to submit any of your work to display here on the blog? i've had a request or two about seeing some of YOUR work here on the blog! thats right, i have people wanting to see what you've done! so if you'd like to see your work here, email me a picture of your projects and a little description and i will post it here!

there's only two types

good morning starshine! the earth says hello! ok, well its not morning anymore but you get the point! its monday at 2pm and i am still recovering from the awesome weekend we had!

this past saturday was national scrapbook day and we had a scavenger hunt game to celebrate! we also had a day time crop to go with our regular night crop. this was the first day crop that we've had, and i'd say that it was a success! we'll be letting you know when we'll do that again, so if you wanna day crop, be on the lookout for that!

have you heard of copics? those are these nifty little pens that are used by comic book creators to color in the drawn images. im not sure when or how, but now these pens are being used by stampers to color in their stamped images.

keep in mind, i have not used one of these pens before and i dont know anything about them, but the reason why i am posting about them is because i want to start playing with them! i'm going to try and see if i can pick some up today and get started with them. the only thing i know about these pens is that they can get quite costly. so, if you play with these bad boys, i'd love to hear your input about them! why you like them, why you dont, cool tricks and anything you can think of. i'll let you know how it goes!
