Scrapfest 201
So I realized that Cathie Allan had made me a scrapbook page so I will find that in my bags and take a pic to show you,(maybe tomorrow). Anyways, so I was privileged to meet the woman that created Fontwerks. Kah-Mei (pronounced Ki-May). She has a brilliant way of designing products and then working with him. Her booth was so much fun, I only regret I didn't have my camera on when I explored it. (picture is borrowed from Scrapfest site) She taught some cool classes and did make n takes at her booth. It was fun. I even got totally busted by allison! I was supposed to be working & I paused to shop (no surprise) and Allison heard me, ripped open the curtains and yelled your busted! So we all had a big laugh about that.
So here are a few of my new stamps I got while being busted!
Roxanne Jegodtka- a woman who is making a big name for herself in the scrap world. She is Canadian. She is a mother of 5. She home schools. She has been published numerous times. She made it far in Making Memories Idol, she designs for Scenic Route Paper Co, Urban Lily (Australian Company) Urban Scrapbook a super cool store in Edmonton (they are one of my sponsors too!), Creating Inspirations. She also did the cover layout for Canadian Scrapbooker Spring 2007. In one word....ACCOMPLISHED! It was fun just chatting with her. I cannot wait to work with her next month. I mean for real, this woman is level headed, steady, friendly, beautiful in and out... how does she keep balance in her life. I cannot wait to talk to her more.
Jessie Lute- One of the creative minds working for"One Little Word". An amazing designer and so super cool in person. I loved hearing her camping story, unfortunately she probably does not ever want to go camping again. But it was cool listening to the fact that we aren't the only ones that experience dramatic experiences. She is also going to be at Canada's Scrapbooking Crop for Kids. You must go and say hi! (pic is off One little word's site, unfortunately I didn't get one of her!)
Janine Wahl- This girl is hilarious, she makes me laugh! She is a paper & digital scrapbooker. She is an instructor at Canada's Scrapbooking Crop 4 Kids, a designer with Memory Makers Book Division, has a layout in CK this month, and 5 layouts in Memory Makers 601 Great Page Ideas. Check her out!!!! Plus she is just a hoot.
I am so sad that I moved while taking this. I started to laugh. I actually was outside the classroom and seriously far away from her, just using my telephoto lens. But I moved. She started striking all of these Vanna poses, changing them like she was on Vogue. Slowly some of the classmates started to wonder what she was doing. They couldn't see me since I was far away. So it was super funny! Is there anyone out there that can help me make this pic better? I love it and so want to scrap it!
Well, the event was full of amazing people, fun things to do, great shopping, see why I am stretching this over the week? Way too much to cover in one day! See you tomorrow!
Card Making Crop for the Troops is tomorrow! Please make sure you let me know if you are coming. I will have many different cardstocks & patterned paper available to use. Please bring paper trimmer, adhesive, and any thing else you might want. Otherwise, come for the social aspect, the food, and most importantly the CAUSE! Supporting our troops is important, and it would be a fantastic dream to know that our cards have lifted their spirits for a moment.
Do you blame me? I came home and I used the little western like title one already. LOVED it, then revamped it with my new FAVOURITE product, that I will reveal tomorrow!
So when you open up the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine, we often see articles written by Mylene English. This would be the fantastic lady that is standing in the following picture. Yes she is patriotic, and they won the table competition. That is one of the cool events at Scrapfest, as a collaborative, each table can come up with a theme and then they try for a chance to win 1st,2nd,3rd. It is a blast. The tables were great. One table sang even. But anyways, Mylene's table totally went Canadian. Fun. She is such a down home, emotional person that has a big heart. It was lovely to chat with her. Cannot wait to see you again, and now when I read your articles it will be a pleasure to know the person behind these thoughts.

Leica, the world isn't perfect! I have actually scrapbooked some blurry photos (because that is what they were) and the pages are just great (in my books anyway). You know, people actually take photos and use a program to blur them up. Go with it - step outside of the box - and doll up this photo with your extraordinary scrapbooking talents. It'll be beautiful just as it is! Quip Suggestions: Always in Motion ... Never Stops ... There She Goes Again. T
Baaaa haaaw I knew it! I knew you were gonna pull that out! Too bad it wasn't clearer, however.....it still shows my goofiness in fine form! Thanks dear! See you in October!
I had a crack at that photo, right off your blog. I'm sending you two versions - but there's only so much you can do with a sharpening mask and the contrast levels! It helped. I think you can totally scrap it anyway. I plopped a blurred photo right smack in the middle of one of my Sidney layouts, but the colours were so perfect I just had to incorporate it and you know what, it helps tell the story anyway!
class!! love it - janine is one of my bestest friends and i love her. such a cool write up of everyone else who i also coutn as friends.. fabby girls..

Can you pack me in your suitcase and take me to Mexico with you? You & Allison were such a riot. I wish you lived here I'd take all your classes! See you at CSC4K!
