Feeling Scrappy has GREAT CLASSES!

Jayne and her team over at Feeling Scrappy provide great fun and value with every class they host: a ton of inspiration, a lovely community, plenty of ideas with detailed assistance and lots of goodies to give away! Their last class, SKETCHAPALOOZA 4, offered 20 sketches, of which I managed to complete 15. I'm almost finished with my Cape Cod Holiday 2009 album. 2009. Two weeks ago! That's simply miraculous! The sketches are so versatile, I'll just print of my handy-dandy PDF of all sketches and flip some around to finish up all the layouts needed in the album! Brilliant.

(All of the layouts are at the bottom of this post)
