A Fun New Project Begins For Me! :o)

Hello, My Friends! I recently heard about a fun new online class being offered over at Studio Calico called "Happy Little Moments" by Maggie Holmes. Do you know I've never taken a scrapbooking class before? Online or otherwise!  I totally fell in love with this class; first the title...then the sneak peeks...then the price of only $10!! lol How could I not sign up? There was a gorgeous kit available to purchase but I had just picked up the Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe Collection. That collection gives me a "happy little moment" every time I look at it, so I knew it would be perfect for this class. So just yesterday I pulled from my stash and put my kit together. The class involves altering a vintage book. So I went through my library of books and picked out a wonderful old copy of Jane Eyre...the colors are perfect for this project. I've taken a couple of pictures of my kit to show you what I'll be working with. Please excuse the quality of my photos...it's been snowing and dreary here today.

Doesn't that look like a ton of fun? Now of course I'm working right here in my studio, so I can pull out whatever I want! However, I really liked the idea of starting with a "kit".
So today was the start date, and I got my PDF! The project is incredible and I am so excited to be doing it! I'll be sharing bits of my book with you here as I go along! I actually have no idea exactly what I'm going to put in it yet...you all know how I am with my photos! haha I just know that I'm going to fill it up with goodies and thoughts and quotes and "things" that make me happy! It will all be a process! ;o)
Today the process began with cutting into the book...YIKES!! Yes, I did it! I actually cut my old Jane Eyre apart. I had to keep my eyes open to do it too because I had a sharp blade in my hand! lol Oh, dear! :o)
