This past weekend at the Mall of America was ScrapFest 2007 hosted by Archiver's...a Minnesota photo memory store. The first Archiver's store was opened in 1999 I believe and now this company has completely EXPLODED with numerous stores nationwide and still growing. I first started going to Archiver's back in 2000 at their 1st store in Apple Valley. The event draws hundreds of obsessed scrapbooking geeks like myself from all over the country.
I love scrapbooking..it's my hobby, my creative outlet and a way for me to preserve all the wonderful memories of my life.
I want to share a fun project that I completed this past weekend (the pictures shown here are just a few pages from the album). I took a class by Elsie Flannigan, a well-known name in the industry, called Travel Love. Elsie actually taught the class which was so fun and one of the reasons why I signed up for the class. She is sweet, a bit shy, cute as a button and amazingly creative. (http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/) I took the class because I wanted to expand my scrapbooking skills...and Elsie's work is so "out of my comfort zone" in how I scrapbook. Needless to say, I am THRILLED with my little album. (The album is a trip I took to Tallahassee back in Fall 2005 with Ann, Sara and Jen.)
