happy early weekend!!

hi all!!!!!!!! today i am headed to the "big d" for Creative Memories Showcase and can't wait!! it will be full of....fun, food and quality girl time!! not to mention all of the wonderful new products that CM will be unvailing...they are BIG and i just know that everyone is going to LOVE them all!!!!!!!! today i am sharing a book that i did for a CM challenge. this was a challenge given to the Creative Memories consultants at our spring forward meeting by Creative Memories and the BEST CM FDM, Dawn Edens. (Dawn, thanks for such a great and inspiring meeting!!!) it was really a wonderful challenge and really made me step out of the box!!! the challenge was to choose the stories we wanted to tell, following the formula given by CM. next, collect photos into MM3 and gather your journaling. export images to SBC+, set timer for 2 hours, tell the stories. i have always been such a goopy scrapbooker, the more the better, never the clean, crisp, classic style. whenever i tried to scrap clean and crisp, I felt me pages just looked naked. with a time limit of 2 hours, there was little time left to goop! so I want to thank....Kristina Proffit, Cathy Zielske, Deanna Kroll, Stephanie Vetne and Becky Higgins for the wonderful inspiration of their beautiful style!!!!!!

here are the 10 questions from CM...

tell a story of the youngest person in your family
tell a love story
tell a story of the tallest person in your family
tell a highlight of your life or something you want to point out
tell a story about your hobby or family members hobby
tell a story about a special trip
tell a story about a favorite family sport or sports team
tell a story about your view of the world today or a family community activity
tell a story of faith or perserverance
tell a story of something small that had a big impact

if you have never done a storybook before...this is a great way to get started!!

i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and i will see you back here early next week!! and as always....thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!!!
