Starting September 2, 2010, Long time Big Picture Scrapbooking Instructor May Flaum will lead students in a four week workshop designed to get you making the most of your stash and scrapbooking! Through layout examples, sketches, presentations, and a lot of interaction students will find the class to be both highly interactive and easily workable for their stash and time needs. The materials presented in class remain available forever – as Big Picture classes all do – and the ideas designed to be used and re-used again and again.
Not only will their be layouts and encouragement from May, but she also offers video chatting via skype as a part of her class. When taking a May Flaum class you can always expect a friendly and accessible instructor who struggles with shopping more than scrapbooking just like so many of us.

I’m Tara, the creative dreamer and creator of With a Twist, my colorful little art and scrapbook store on Etsy. I love spending time in my studio, surrounded with baskets full of paper and trinkets and great lighting, creating my own handmade products. From gift tags to collage canvases, silk flowers to clay buttons, handmade arts and crafts will always have my heart! When I started scrapbooking, I wanted to design products that were pretty and girly, but products that also had a fun vintage charm to them. I adore creating with vintage papers and textiles, and turning the old into the new!
GIVEAWAY: Tara is giving away the kit featured in the photo above to one lucky winner!
My name is Danielle Thompson and I love crafting, kitsch, vintage, photography, designing, blogging and, oh, the list goes on. I have designed all sorts of things such as digital and printable kits, paper goods, clear polymer stamps, embroidery patterns, unique vinyl wall decals, accessories for Blythe and I also offer prints of my photography. My designs, no matter what they are, always contain a hint of kitschy and nostalgia. I try to keep all sorts of people in mind when I’m designing: the crafter, the scrapbooker, the blogger, the embroidery fan, you name it. I try to make my products relate to a diverse group of people that dabble in all sorts of hobbies (just like me!). You can find me at my blog, Thompson Family-Life, my digital products at Jessica Sprague and Two Peas in a Bucket and in my Etsy shop, Tiny Bazaar.

ScrapScription releases two kits every month. Both kits are project based mini albums including all of the supplies, embellishments, and full color step by step instructions to complete the project. The great thing about these kits is the amount of flexibility you have to use the kit to your liking – make the project exactly as shown in the directions, personalize it with your own designs or titles, or use the product to make 12×12 page layouts or cards and keep the mini album for another project. ScrapScription provides full sheets of patterned paper and coordinating cardstock. Many times you also receive an entire set of alphabet letters or pack of embellishments to give you tons of options!
ScrapScription’s release on the 1st of the month is a single purchase kit. Just go to the website on the 1st and purchase your kit individually.
The second release ScrapScription does on the 15th of the month is part of what they call their ScrapScribers kit club. ScrapScription automatically ships their 15th of the month release to club members for just $30 guaranteed (+ 5.95 shipping and tax if applicable – with an initial 6 month commitment). Club kits begin shipping out on the 12th of the month so members should have their kit before it even hits the website for sale. As a ScrapScriber, you also get every 6th kit shipped for free! And after 12 months, you will receive a special “members only” kit for free. For non-ScrapScribers, the 15th of the month kit will go up on the website as a “single purchase” kit on the 15th and will retail for anywhere from $35 – $40. So you can see it pays to be a ScrapScriber!
GIVEAWAY: ScrapScription is giving away one of their Summertime Fun kits!
