Plus, there are evening crops, bonus classes, goodie bags, a commemorative tote, and so much more all for only $295! And you’ll be learning from some of the industry’s finest such as Lisa Bearnson, Teresa Collins, Stacy Julian, Michelle Hill, Megan Hoeppner, and other inspiring teachers.

Album Track: Got Your Number
We've got your number in this incredible 11 page 12" x 12" album class. Join us as we count the ways numbers impact your everyday life. You'll look back on important numeric events in your life, such as memorable milestones (marriage, graduation, etc.), and significant (and playful) quantities (the number of children you have, the amount of times you indulge in your favorite vice every day, etc.). And you'll have a blast personalizing your album with numbers unique to you-your home address, your lucky number, etc. Plus, as you add up the numbers of your life, you'll learn innovative techniques such as coloring with Twinkling H20s, stitching, and misting all while using Pink Paislee's NEW Daily Junque line. Top it off with clever ideas for using unexpected supplies, such as cupcake liners, washi tape, bakers twine, and more, and you've got one fresh album. Whatever your digit, this album is rated a 10.0 for fun and creativity!

I pulled up this older layoutof mine, which incorporates numbers into the design and the journaling. This is a photo of an online friend's son, Adler. I was scrapping some photos for her, just for fun. When it came time to scrap this photo, I turned to her blog to find some journaling to go along with it. She had this great post, about him always saying "three minutes mom ... just three minutes ... that is it, and then i'm outta here". That's all the time he would allow mom to take his pictures. Too cute!
I used some pattern papers by Creative Cafe and WRMK to start out my layout, and then added the number paper from American Crafts to go with the theme of the page. For my title, I used a mix of foam letter stickers from American Crafts, and glitter mini stickers from Making Memories. Three velvet star brads finished off the theme of the layout.
Next, head over to Stacy Croninger blog, to see what she has in store for you!
Love your blog...can't wait for CKU reunion.
