A couple of weeks ago, I had this great idea for a series of articles for Bella Scraps Magazine. I asked Holley V. (the editor) what she thought, then I emailed Jessica Sprague to see if I could get her blessing, and then Jessica blessed the socks off of ME!! See, I wanted to review Session 1 of Jessica’s new Scrapbook Alchemy series of classes, of which I had already purchased and was in the process of completing session 1, and then possibly review the rest of the classes as well. (Run on sentence, maybe? Whew!) Holley loved the idea, and Jessica loved the idea, and I loved that I found something to write about that was totally inspiring to me. And, you know what Jessica did? She hooked me up with the next 3 Sessions!! WAHOO! Thank you Jessica!

I could go on and on about how much I love Jessica Sprague. Hopefully I will be able to remain unbiased as I continue this series. The first “review” is now posted on the Bella Scraps website for all to see. (Check out the new “magazine” format! It’s still in process, so keep checking back. In fact, just go ahead and add it to your reader.)

Here’s a sneaky-peaky for my mom, who probably won’t click over, never checks her Facebook and would HATE to miss these layouts. These are from Jessica’s class.

Flipped a bit:

AND, if you are interested in taking one of Jessica’s classes, consider taking advantage of the great deal she is having on Scrapbook Alchemy, Session 1 until the end of April. It is a mix of traditional and digital scrapbooking that is PERFECT for beginners.

Oh, and The Hybrid Chick is going to be having a BIG, HUGE giveaway for National Scrapbooking Day (May 2nd), and Jessica has generously (overly-generously!!) donated a bunch of seats in her classes!

By the way, I posted this project (with a tutorial) to the Hybrid Chick blog! Perfect for paper scrappers!!

AND, I have a BUNCH of new products coming out on Thursday! I’m so excited!!
