I spent my day in the company of many lovely crafty ladies at Right At Home Scrapbooking. I managed to rope my SIL Suzy into taking a class with me – thanks for coming along Suzy! We inked, painted, stenciled and stamped all day making a journal with pockets. Conveniently this is going to add to my Calvinball points. We even made our own washi-type tape using masking tape! It was pretty awesome.

That’s tape! One of the best parts of the day was playing with all of Jule’s awesome stencils.  Here’s the book we made:
