I have a problem with paper kits won at conventions and purchased, just because. Therefore, there are a lot of unfinished projects and leftovers cluttering up my craft room. Would love to win a seat in this class.

Congratulations, Sherill. You'll have the chance to use up some of that clutter as you complete each of the class challenges.  Please contact us at support.mcc@gmail.com so we can get you enrolled.

Remember, if you did not win there is still time to enroll in Scrap That Stash!   We'll be opening up lesson 1 next week, though, so hurry over.  I hope you decide to join me for this class.  Based on everyone's comments, there are many of us who need some (serious) help! :-)

See You In the Classroom,

Karen

Guest Post: Karen Hunter - Ready to Scrap That Stash? Seat Giveaway!

Since Jeri is taking a little break this week, I thought it would be the perfect time to fill in with a guest post and run a SEAT GIVEAWAY for my upcoming class!
I am having so much fun preparing for my new fall semester class, "Scrap That Stash!"  It's amazing how much stuff we crafters can accumulate and there's nothing like a move to emphasize how big your stash really is. Boxing up all my supplies and moving them encouraged me on this path to use what I already have, and out of that goal, this class was born.  I've been digging into my brads, eyelets, buttons, chipboard and more to create layouts and layouts for this class.  In the first week alone, I'll share 4 original sketches and demonstrate several techniques for using brads, buttons, eyelets and chipboard on your next layouts. Together we'll complete lots of pages, all the while making a big dent in our current supply stash.  Here's a few sneak peeks of layouts I've been working on for "Scrap That Stash!"

For a full outline and more information on this class, see HERE.  

Class begins on September 4th, but registration is open right now.  

Would you like to win a free seat to this stash-busting class?  All you need to do is leave a comment telling me which supply is taking over your craft room.  Comments need to be posted before midnight, Wednesday, August 28th in order to be eligible for the free seat drawing.  The winner will be posted on Friday, August 30th.  Good Luck!

Guest Blogger and a Giveaway!!

Hi Everyone! I’m Karen Hunter and I’ve been an instructor at MCC for a little over a year now. I love teaching and participating in such a fun and creative online community. You can check out all of my classes here and I’d be honored if you visited my blog, KarenScraps.

One of my first classes at MCC was Scrapbooking Your Faith and I am so excited to introduce a second installment of that class, Scrapbooking Your Faith 2, which begins on April 5th. In this class, our focus is on incorporating our faith and family values into our scrapbook layouts – whether those layouts are a part of our everyday albums or specifically faithbooking albums. Each week focuses on a different faith word and you’ll receive tons of inspiration through journaling prompts, page focus ideas, quotes, title suggestions, scripture, and even printables for your layouts. You’ll also have access to a set of page sketches made just for this class and each week I’ll walk you through my sample layout(s) and offer scrapbooking tips and techniques along the way to help you create great pages with meaningful journaling and faith elements.

I wanted to share this layout inspired by the materials in class.  I created it using a sketch, journaling prompt, and printable sentiment from class materials. The grid pattern is simple and can be recreated in endless ways. You can keep it simple like I did or really step it up with added techniques and embellishments. You’ll find my scrapbooking style is relatively simple – I get more pages done that way! I also try to keep the emphasis on my photos and journaling.

Scrapbooking Your Faith 2 is packed full of weekly prompts and ideas that offer many approaches to incorporating your faith and values into your scrapbook pages. You’ll be able to return to the handouts again and again for continued inspiration long after class is over! I hope you’ll join me in this inspirational class.
