Scrapbook Bus Tour - try it you'll like it! part1

O.k. I know alot of you scrappers out there have heard your local scrapbook store promoting a bus tour...which basically means you get on a bus with other like minded people (mostly women) and visit other scrapbook stores...The best part (in my opinion) are the MAKE & TAKES.
I went on saturday the 18th on a bus tour with a friend of mine...these are the make and takes we made (these are mine)
This one was actually the last one I did at our home storeSCRAPPING GOOD TIMES in SAN DIMAS - cute eh?
It is just a composition book covered with fantastic paper and embellishments...but not just cut and paste - strips, pieces, borders etc...isn't it amazing...

This is the 1st one we did at EVERAFTER in Vista. There was an add on kit to make it into a book - but didn;t buy it. It is made out of plywood - a bit bulky so I decided I would make it into a frame - will share when it is done.
This is the 2nd one we made at THE SCRAPBOOK GARDEN in huntington beach. It is a small 4 page book made out of MDF and it is cute but I think I am going to re-work it to make it sturdier and finished. In this class they should us how to use the copic spray gun...super cool but I am so not there yet...


see the edges (not done) and the spine ripped really easily.

So you see why if you ever have the chance to jump on the bus - to go for it...you'll enjoy it I promise.
Sleep well
