Make sure you tell Jen I sent you when you sign up for the drawing...

Free Classes at 2 Peas

I will admit it. I am a school geek. I LOVED going to school and would be a college student still if I could. LOL My love of learning new things of course translates into scrapbooking as well. I have taken a few online classes, but they can be pricey (I won the classes I was lucky enough to take at Big Picture Scrapbooking). If you have not checked out the classes on 2 Peas lately, you should. They offer SO many things and alot of them are FREE!

You can go to 2 Peas in a bucket to check them all out, but I am linking to some of my favorites! Maybe you can do the classes with me? I save all the PDF's to my laptop...they are good resources to have.

They post on there when they add a video or project for their class.

Hope this inspires someone! Let me know how you like it and share with me if you have a great super "secret" place where YOU find inspiration!

Father's Day Cards

Well, I promised to post my Father's Day cards, so here are 2 of them. My kids picked the themes and cuts and I just put them together.
My husband loves tools, so Collin and Isabel wanted to make him a tool belt card. I got the cutfile from this site: http://ruelysicreativecards.blogspot.com/




My FIL is from Texas, so Collin and Belle thought a cowboy card would be nice. LOL I found this cute boot cut for SCAL (sorry, I don't remember where I got it).

I *think* I might actually get to create something today. LOL Although as I am typing this, my kids have interrupted me at least 3 times, so we shall see.

What have YOU been creating lately?
