You may have noticed that Shimelle Laine is re-running her hugely popular Blogging for Scrapbookers class again, followed up in April with a new and up to date sequel. As Amy put it so well, Shimelle’s online classes are some of the best around. They are economical, they provide access to class materials, message boards and forums forever, they are exceedingly friendly and supportive and Shimelle really knows how to teach, how to convey information and to inspire through words and pictures.
And it was through BFS that I came to know most of the ladies I chatted with on Sunday. I never would have crossed paths with them otherwise. Scrapbooking really has broadened my horizons, both literally and metaphorically, and for that I shall always be eternally grateful.
I scraplifted Shimelle’s LO from yesterday’s BFS prompt and came up with this.
Initially, I thought that it might need a title, but now that the journaling is in place, I don’t think it does.

Looks perfect to me, glad ya'll had such a lovely visit Sunday 🙂

I wasn't into blogging when the BFS course was last 'live' so I am doing it now.
How lovely that some of you met through the course and have continued to keep in touch … and meet up through Skype!
