Scrap Big

Sneak Peek! + Winner!

I'm incredibly excited about our next 4Experts class: Re-purpose, Re-think, Re-invent. Jenni Bowlin has an amazing eye for finding unique vintage treasures and turning her discoveries into beautiful décor and scrapbook projects.

I invite you to spend the next 12 weeks with Jenni – you’ll walk away with a new perspective on all things old, used and discarded. Jenni shares some of her flea-market secrets, and will get you excited about treasure hunting!

I wanted to give you all a sneak peek of Jenni’s fabulous classroom, handouts, and projects…

  

 

Please leave a comment and let me know:

A) Your favorite treasure that you’ve ever found.
OR
B) Something “vintage” that you’d love to find!

I’ll select a name Tuesday at 9pm PDT, and the winner will receive a free seat in Jenni’s class!!! (If you’ve already purchased the class, we’ll refund your purchase!)

Don’t forget, you can use the code summer2009 to receive 10% off Jenni’s class until Tuesday night!

Hope to see you there!

Congratulations SherryGrove! You've just won a free seat in Jenni Bowlin's class: Re-purpose, Re-think, Re-invent!

I was in an antique shop with my mom and found a rectangle WWII lapel pin with a red border, white background, and three blue stars. I asked my mom what it meant, and she told me that pins like this were worn by families who had sons in the service. This particular pin meant a family had three sons in the war. THREE! I brought the pin home. That family deserves my honor and respect, even if I don't know who they are. Just thinking about what that meant to another mom almost brings me to tears.

Take the Challenge + winner!

 This summer, we invite you to accept The Challenge of Me!  Join Lisa Day for a fun and thought-provoking month of daily prompts that will inspire you to use your stash creating pages in a new size that tell YOUR story.  With technique tips and product challenges, Lisa will help you create an album to remember. Lisa's class opens TODAY, so it's not too late to join in the fun!  We'd love to have you join Lisa and all of us, so we're giving away a free seat in class to a randomly selected winner!  To enter, simply read over Lisa's class description here, then tell me about one layout that you need to make to tell your story. 

EDITED to add winner:  Wow -- I have such inspiration here in your comments -- you have great ideas for documenting challenges, changes, moments, and stories.  Thank you ALL for entering -- and our winner is Cheryl!  Here's her post...

I need to make a layout descriping how every year in the first part of June, as soon as we got done with school, my mother would take us blueberry picking. I can still feel the Florida sun beating down on me and taste the blueberries we ate (faster than the ones that went into the bucket).
