Thrilled!

I just got word that my design was accepted for round one of the Little Dreamer Apprentice program! (Click here to see the announcement) It's just a first step- but it's lifted me to cloud nine! Check out my Digi site, Foreverjoy Designs on the left and you can see the mini kit I submitted- and grab one for yourself if you'd like.

Big Picture Scrapbooking

I just finished a terrific on line class called "Point of View" at Big Picture Scrapbooking taught by one of my favorite artists, Nic Howard. Now that school is so far behind me- I can clearly see how important it is to keep learning- never think you know enough. This class really focused on storytelling- which, as you all know, is very near and dear to me. I don't think of myself as a "scrapbooker" really. I'm more of a storyteller. Silly stories, sad stories, important and everyday ones. They have to be written so that when my voice is silent- they will play on.
Here is a page I made for an assignment that asked for a layout about you- from someone else's point of view. ;)
