Ciao ciao! My girls and I arrived safely last night in Minnesota for Scrapfest.
The five hour drive passed by pretty quickly with the great company. With me this weekend are some of the local Artistas: Morgan, Beth and Katherine. They'll be helping me out, shopping around, getting inspired and taking some workshops too! I promise to try to take some group photos of us.
Last night we stopped in to get our badges and there were already peeps kroppin', shoppin' and gearing up for the opening at the Mall of America today.
We checked out the other workshop projects and spotted the cute Bella Blvd board.
First up today is the Tail Waggers & Cat Naps pet-themed workshop, "Furry Friends Pages!" We will be making three 12x12" layouts for a cat or a dog! Here's a peek, but you can see all the workshop details HERE.
The workshop is sold out, but I'd like to give away a class kit right here, right now! Leave a comment below telling me what you're up to this weekend. Are you at Scrapfest? Cropping at your LSS? Spending family time! I'll announce a winner next Friday here on the blog...you have a whole week to enter!
Well, it was short but sweet today. I must admit I'm excited to get a good night sleep. I've been pulling several all-nighters this past week preparing artwork & designs for our TWO BRAND NEW COLLECTIONS coming in a couple weeks! I cannot wait to share peeks with you.....they're are to DYE for - hint hint ;)
Ciao ciao for now. Have a wonderful weekend.
(If you'd like to follow more details from Scrapfest I'll be posting on my blog over the weekend. Be sure to pop-in!)
Those Furry Friends pages are so cute! I'll be scrapping this weekend, making gifts for a friend who is getting married in October. Scrapfest looks like a ton of fun! So many inspiring ideas!

I'll be at a charity crop. Can't wait. This will be the first time I'm doing an all day crop like this.

I wanted to come to Scrapfest sooo bad. One of these years it is going to happen! Instead I will be in a football stadium rooting on the Huskers with my hubby and good friends. Yeah!!

Just omgosh, I've never heard of scrapfest 'till this week when lots of blogs were talking about it. I would DIE! I want to go next year!
Anyways, besides being jealous of all the people at scrapfest, I have a busy weekend! Today I will be seeing Lion King in 3D! Tomorrow I am going to the local 'super mega yardsale' at the baseball stadium, and Sunday I will be at the Washington Redskins/Arizona Cardinals game! :D hoooray!
P.S. pages are SOOOOO cute !

We just moved and my scrap room is almost back in order. I'm hoping to get a few layouts done sometime this weekend. Puppy pages would be great especially since our boxer and chihuahua now have almost a half acre to play in.
Thanks for the chance and have a great time!

Can't wait to see the new lines! Sounds like Scrafest will be fun!! I have to play the role of Scott's lawn care and put some fertilizer on the grass first thing in the am! (I had to cancel the service so I could have more money to buy scrap supplies! LOL)I have abridal shower, a fundraiser planning meeting for a breast cancer survivor and I am running in a 5k! Whew, maybe I should get to bed early tonight!!

Wish I lived closer to Mall of America : ) However, I will enjoy watching my little play soccer tomorrow followed by a day of football (Go BLUE!) and dinner at our friend's house with more football (Ohio State! BOO! : ) Then, a restful Sunday with the family!! I hope to do a little scrappin' with my girl as well!
