Well the response to the Sweetwater class has been phenomenal, thank you! Because I cannot possibly travel to every location that has been requested, I'm going to offer Pocket Pop Sweetwater as an online class in December. Details will be posted here (and on karenburniston.com which, hello, I totally updated the calendar and am hard at work getting these classes loaded, too) in October, so please check back in a couple of weeks. For Coloradans, I will be teaching Pocket Pop Sweetwater at Scrapbook Destination in Centennial on December 1st.
I also wanted to design a mini-album class with the picture ball, and knowing that Lance would probably really dig the technique, I designed a Rusty Pickle mini-album class that we both can teach. I made an improvement to the picture ball - it now rotates so you can easily view all the photos. The Sweetwater class will be taught with a rotating picture ball, too. (Or you can make it stationary - completely up to you!)
The products in the Rusty Pickle class are from the new School Daze collection, released at Summer CHA. I chose not to make the project specific to a school theme, though, so although you can use school photos, you certainly don't have to. I chose to decorate mine as a summary of Karl's first 9 years. The colors are bright and gender-neutral, so the theme is wide open. It's a 6x6 album with 14 interior pages, several pull-out tags, hidden areas and a picture ball - I think I used something like 31 pictures on mine.
So without any further ado, I give you Pocket Pop Mini-Album ● Rusty Pickle:
If you're a store owner and would like me to come teach at your store/in your area, I'd love to hear from you! Please post a comment or e-mail me from the sidebar.
RKQOTD (while driving by a 7-Eleven . . . Emma: Why do you suppose they named that store 7-Eleven? Karl: I think it's supposed to be 7 SLASH Eleven, but they left the slash off the sign. Emma: But why would they name it that? Karl: That's the rating. Seven out of Eleven. Eleven out of Eleven would be the best.)



Bwhahahahahahaha - the rating. Giggle.

Dang, you are amazingly creative. And of COURSE that's why they named it 7/11.

Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy! I get the class online. You seriously rock - THANK YOU! Can't wait until October. And tell Karl (of course, I'm probably wrong), but 7 Eleven got it's name because the first stores were open from 7 am until 11 pm. At least the ones in my town were.
