In this class we will be making a paper bag album that you can use to record the 12 limits (one for each month) that you want to push this year.

In this class you will create two stunning layouts using CTMH's Photo Storage Memory Protectors (one each of the 4 photo and 6 photo storage pages). Explore the many ways to scrapbook twice the photos and journaling with flaps, flips and accordion books. The class kit includes Party-themed cardstocks, page protectors, themed die cuts and ribbon. The possibilities are endless so you may want to bring your camera. To boost your creative juices, additional samples will be on display during class. OPTIONAL: For fun, additional matching supplies are available for pre-purchase. Please note these items are optional. Visit www.stampcrafting.myctmh.com (look under Training and Events / March) for the project sample created with the optional supplies.

Description: Every year, resolutions for the New Year are made and by March mostly forgotten. This year, do something different and challenge yourself to not only do 12 things that will push your personal boundaries but to record them also. So many of our pages end up not being about us but instead they focus on the people in our lives. What a treasure it is to preserve where we are and where we want to be for ourselves and for the people that love us. In this class we will be making a paper bag album that you can use to record the 12 limits (one for each month) that you want to push this year. The album has 12 pages + 3 pockets for you to place your pictures and many spots (some hidden) for you to place your journaling. Although this album is intended to be all about your accomplishments, it can easily be adapted to fit goals made as a family, spouses or kids' goals.

Attendance Tips
It’s about time.
With so much to see and do at the Expo, time is important. Classes start promptly so allow yourself time to get settled in your seat for a great learning experience.
Interruption-free learning
We know you’re there to learn. To prevent interruptions, we discourage cell phones, video-taping and audio-taping. We do encourage creativity in young adults; children 10 and above are welcome to purchase a ticket and take the class, too.
Ticket time
When you purchase a class ticket, it is your pass to higher scrapbook education and allows you in to the class. Exhibit hall admission allows you to shop the Expo floor. Both are important and necessary if your goal is to have “the ultimate” Expo experience! So plan to take classes and give the Expo shopping floor a complete workout.
When selecting tickets, do so with care; unfortunately ticket exchanges and refunds are not an option.
Feedback welcome
Perception is everything, and sometimes, a class you may find awesome someone else “just doesn’t get” so we avoid refunds based on class perception. We do encourage your class feedback in the post-event surveys we send, however. It helps us keep our finger on the pulse of our classes and is your vehicle to be honest and contribute to the education plan at future Expos. Your input is valuable … thank you for providing a current e-mail address so we can keep the lines of communication open.
