Hello Friday.
1. No specific weekend creative today. Hoping that many of you will be able to play with your week in the life albums over the weekend.
2. Thanks for the excitement regarding the stamps yesterday. They should be back in stock and appearing in local and online stores soon!
3. Jessica Sprague (one of my favorite instructors) is teaching and offering a free, one-week class on her site (jessicasprague.com) on the topic of collecting stories you want to tell. It's called Stories In Hand. You don't have to be a scrapbooker to take this class. You don't have to be a digital scrapbooker to take this class. You just need to be interested in collecting your own personal stories in an organized fashion (love that idea). Registration begins October 20th. Here's the class flyer:
4. Sharing some more awesome week in the life projects (I have loved seeing these come in a bunch of different languages - keep them coming as you get into the creative/crafty phase):
From Susi:
From Sue:
From Michelle:
From Lisa (love how she is using pockets for her printed calendar each day):
From Maica:
From Rhonda:
From Hillary (8x8):
From Marie:
5. Coming next week: look for a week in the life follow-up, a Halloween mini-album (documenting 2007), Halloween product ideas, new Designer Digitals and more.
6. Have a great weekend. We are savoring the season around here. It is really starting to get chilly in the mornings while we wait for the bus for Simon. I am doing lots of cooking (which began during my week and hasn't really stopped since - last night it was cranberry-pumpkin cookies) and lots of budgeting/looking at our finances (getting our "house" in order). Chris calls it "nesting gone awry" even though I know he is happy to have me doing these things. I am very much loving being here at home.
I spy the book, "Breaking Dawn" from Marie. Awesome book...could not put it down, even with pink eye. Enjoy! Love everyone's work!

Do you know of a source for "bulk" quantities of 12 x 12 craft-colored cardstock for scrapbooking? In the past I have found Wausau brand cardstock in this color at Kelly paper in the 8 1/2 x 11 size, but have recently switched to 12x12 and would like to be able to buy it more economically than a page at a time.
I really liked a while back in one of your posts/articles/books (?) that you mentioned sticking primarily with a few basic cardstock colors to simplify your scrapbooking.

I always find myself wanting to stay home and do domestic things in the fall. Good to hear I'm not the only one.

Ali - OMG I am so honored to have my project pictured here. . .thank you. I have a question - do you do a "dedication" page? I have a spot where I could do that - or like an introduction or description. . .not sure. . .
Thanks-

Hello Ali,
I would like to thank you for being such a great inspiration to many people and to me, most especially.
I am a digital scrapbooker and I have finished the Week in the Life Album. I kept it simple using your products at DD plus one kit (templates help as well -- a TON!). I decided to print it out as a Shutterfly 8x8 Book. It was the cheapest and easiest way for me.
Here is my blog post about assembling the book:

And here is the finished Shutterfly Book:

I hope you have a great week ahead!
