Just Write!
Journaling is a way to release tension, write down our hopes and ideas and get honest with ourselves. As Oprah says, everyone should keep a journal! So why not make it something gorgeous that we love to look and write in!! We will cover and decorate a journal and make a matching bookmark to get the ball rolling on our self-awareness plan. These would also make a wonderful birthday or Christmas present for a loved one or friend!

Color Me Happy!!

In this class we will learn all the tricks of the color wheel, how to pick colors, the emotions of colors and make a card and a tag that can be used as a title with our new found knowledge. This class is a must have for scrapbookers of all levels.
