I finally found a little time to work on my homework for Cathy Z’s Design Your Life class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I thought I was just a week behind, but when I reviewed the lessons, I realized I hadn’t even started Week 1! I was still on the Prework!
That’s what I get for signing up one hour before the class closed and then discovering there were 4 preclass assignments. I should get detention for this. I should have to stay up late to complete all work before Week 3′s assignments are emailed tomorrow. Sounds like a plan!
Well, I promised to share my assignments, so here is my first LO. I know, I know. Enough with the flowers and the bling already. But the assignment was to create a LO using the stuff you love just to get it out of your system before she whips you into shape. So deal!
I also found this picture that I took last week of the LO in progress. It reminded me of Cathy’s class at CKC over the weekend where she asked what does scrapbooking mean to me. This was the same thing I was thinking when I was trying to find words to include on the layout. I ended up with this pile. About the only thing missing is the word “witness.” To me, scrapbooking is a way of recognizing, or witnessing, our own lives as well as our family’s. What does it mean to you?

I popped over from Donna Downey’s site and loved your layout for Cathy Z’s class. I seriously considered this class but the money timing just wasn’t right for me. Looks like you are learning lots. I loved your bling!
Thanks for visiting Sandi. I am learning a lot in class and yes it was an investment. But I love Cathy Z’s style and simplicity and thought I could use a little of that in some of my layouts. Stay tuned for more layouts inspired by class homework.
