I am sooo excited!  In tomorrow mornings workshop we will be creating an Explosion Box .  Lots of scrapbooking techniques will be used.  We will be „journaling“ and using this small format so that I can explain lots of different ideas without the pressure of having to cover a 12×12 inch page with one idea. ( It can be quite daunting such a BIG BLANK piece of paper.) So here we have 12 little squares to fill, the center of the box and to decorate the lid. Everyone got to chose in advance their own favorite color palette for the box itself and then the fun begins. I have offered my guests the rare opportunity to get their hands into my boxes overflowing with SCRAPS! We will also be „journaling“, and learning to love (or at least to accept ) our own handwriting. This is sometimes quite difficult due to its very personal nature. Telling the story in your own words and in your own hand is for me one of the most important aspects of Scrapbooking. I suppose I am just a purist!  ;  )  So enough „Crafting Psychology“ -Let’s have some fun! I stayed up until 3 in the morning preparing my Workshop projects and all of my Convention Swaps.  So my brain was much too tired to function in German this morning. So pleeeease excuse me!  Wenn ihr eine Übersetzung auf Deutsch braucht, schreibt mir einfach eine Email oder einen Kommentar. Anleitung folgt!

Liebe Grüße,

Oh my gosh!  Now I have to fill it with pictures and text! I just LOVE the Designpaper from the Spring Summer Catalog in German it’s called „Voller Nostalie“ ( Artikel #125407)
