Blog Hop

Welcome to the APOS! blog hop!
*****************************************
If you arrived here from JEN then you are on the right track. If you’ve arrived here by accident,then go here APOS! Facebook page discussion to start at the beginning. Don't have facebook, that is okay, just hop on over to DIANA and go from there.
I think you’re really going to enjoy seeing what each of the APOS! Inspiration Team have come up with using their chosen products.

To participate in the blog hop (and maybe win some candy) is so easy! Visit each inspiration team member’s blog and leave a comment. You will get one entry into a draw for some pretty amazing blog candy just for visiting and leaving a comment at each Inspiration Team Member’s blog. Posting the picture of this candy on your own blog,along with a link back to APOS! will earn you another entry into the draw (just make sure to leave a comment letting us know that you added the link!). Adding yourself as a follower to any of the team members or 'liking' APOS! on facebook, another entry is yours!

Do you want to know what you’re hopping for? This is what you are playing for... a small something from your choice of one of the inspiration teams choice of papers/products!!!
So with all that being said now on to what i have done. We were all given this sketch to work our magic on.

I chose the My Minds Eye line of papers for my sketch and more specifically the Lost and Found line. I have found this line to be one of my favourite all time lines as it works so well with the numerous heirloom types of layouts I do. In this layout I also used some cardstock, four brown brads, some green ribbon and black ink to outline all of the pieces other than the photo’s.

Next stop for you will be KELSEY
Again thanks for hopping by.

Today I was able to post my second Inspiration for APOS. My inspiration was to celebrate summer with a far out an too cool summer layout using som psychodelic colors and incorporating a black and white summer themed photo. Here is the completed layout.

First Cookbook Club

I had the first cookbook club class last night and had a great time. I would like to thank Debbie, Jennifer, Jane, Yvette and Cassie for attending and being such great students. Because of their skill and determination we were able to complete at least a dozen pages. As the pages progressed each of them was able to put their own touches on the books and make them individual which I absolutely love. We will be completing the books on July 5th and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Cookbook Club

I was finally able to get some photo's of the first two installments of the Cookbook Club and wanted to share them with you. The first is a RETRO STYLE Cookbook and the classes for this one will take place on June 21st and July 5, 2011:

The second is a HERITAGE STYLE and takes place on August 17th and 30th 2011:

I am soooo excited about these classes. Come by Creative Scrapbooks and see the completed books.

Good Day everyone,

In addition to hosting monthly Late Night Crops I have also started the COOKBOOK CLUB. JOin us on June 22, 2011 and July 5, 2011 to complete a 17 page cookbook which will allow you to insert your own recipes. The COOKBOOK CLUB will be an ongoing event in which you will be able to complete a cookbook in a two evening classes. Each cookbook will be theme based. The first is a RETRO COOKBOOK, which will be followed by a HERITAGE COOKBOOK. Stay tuned for photos, or better yet come to the store as the Retro Cookbook is currently on display behind our till area.

Good Day

Today is a good day. It is supposed to be plus 23 here and I am so looking forward to spending as much time outside as possible. I have been outside for a bit, and determined very quickly that there is no need to do your hair, it is a windy, warm, refreshing day.

I actually had time to take part in a Challenge posted by one of the other IT team members, Tams.

Her Challenge was in honor of the Royal Wedding. It was to include something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Here is my take on her challenge:

I have to say it is an honor being part of the Inspiration Team at APOS, and I am so lucky to have other team members there to inspire me.
