Oh my! How fun is this...I will be in Eugene this weekend teaching a class! I'm still floating on a cloud of happiness that Jill and Emily even invited me to teach! It will be at the fabulous ComePlay:Eugene event that these two lovelies host several times a year. Saturday is the class (there's two sessions) and then Sunday we'll be heading to the Coburg Antique Fair! I've been cashing in my cans and saving my coupon money for this one! :-)
I showed some sneak peeks a bit ago of the journal we will be making in the class while it was in progress but now that I've finished the official "class sample," I get to show you the full thing...
When I originally made this book, I made it for just me and used a lot of elements and souvenirs from my ArtNest adventure. I needed to modify this so as not so use original art from sweet Julie and Candice. So in addition to having to make my own art for this project...
...I had to made some new pages! Fortunately, Tricia was sweet enough to send me the September Cocoa Daisy kit. Attendees to my class will be getting September's kit and it is gorgeous!!! Ali Edwards is the guest designer this month for Cocoa Daisy and has been doing a lot of pages and projects with the kit as well. It's a fun one!!!
So here are a few pages...
(pardon the blurriness :-)
As you might have gathered, the pages consist of a lot of pockets, envelopes and journaling spots. That's so when you go on your own adventure (art or otherwise!), you can create a Souvenir Journal.
In addition to the glorious scrapbooking kit from Tricia, you will also receive a lot of fun vintage-inspired goodies from Jill. Oh and there will be lots of fun extras in the class kit that I've put together for the attendees too! :-) Eeeee! This is so fun!
If you're still looking' for something GREAT to do in the Eugene, OR area tomorrow, be sure to stop by here and sign up. Let me know if you'll be there!
Take care!!!
Oh what fun you are going to have! You have a beautiful book project---wish I could be there, but my little brother decided to get married tomorrow, so s'pose I ought to be there instead. Have a great time in Coberg---we went several years ago, amazing how huge that tiny town looks with so many antique booths filling it up!

I'll be there!! I'm so stinkin' excited and nervous to meet all of you creative ladies! I was just hopping around some blogs and landed here and got a SNEAK PEEK! I'm so lucky! I'm sleeping over on Friday night, so I'll be in the evening class, too! Can't wait to meet you Michelle!

I'll be there too! I've never been to a Come Plan Eugene and am very excited. It will be long three hour drive to get there and meet everyone and make this fabulous journal. My husband compared me to a kid at Christmas :-) I will also be staying over to go to Coburg bright and early Sunday morning. I can hardly wait!

That is sooo cute and clever, Michelle. I love the color combination, too. You have so many fun things out there.
I need to let you know exactly when we come and where we stay! Jud is golfing with his buddies all weekend so I won't bother him now. Donna is coming to visit next week and make advent match boxes...fun!

I love your book- it's wonderful. Have fun at Coberg- I went there several years ago and bought one of my most favorite antiques there. It's a great antique show.

OK, m'dear. DISH!
Checking in to see if you're gonna post you weekend adventure for those of us who didn't make it this time. It's always exciting to hear of creative outings in the Pacific Northwest. Keep us updated on future classes, please.
Thanks!
