Well my class seemed to be received well yesterday so I'm relieved and happy. I can't believe how quickly some people got their layouts completed and uploaded onto the UKScrappers gallery. Such speedy scrappers. I'm obviously a very slow scrapper because the number of comments I had along the lines of 'it took me nearly 2 hours to complete' or 'I spent so much longer than I normally do on a layout' lead me to think I obviously spend way too long on my layouts. No wonder I don't get that many done!
It seems most people struggled over using their own handwriting, something I do a lot, but they were pleased that this gave them the push to do so and surprisingly, in some cases, they liked the results. This is good.
It's been so interesting seeing all the various interpretations/differences in the layouts uploaded. That's one of the things I love about scrapbooking. The variety, the fact that there is no 'wrong' way to scrap, how even in a class people can and do put their own stamp on a layout and everyone ends up with a different look or feel to it. If you have time you should pop along to the gallery here and take a look (not sure if the gallery is open to non-members but it's worth a try).
And now I'm exhausted, I've tried to leave a comment on each and every layout and that's tiring business I can tell you. I'm planning on getting down to some of the other classes and challenges over the weekend. It's hard trying to find time to scrap at the moment. Why do children need a summer holiday? LOL. Just kidding. They've been great, choreographing and putting on shows for me and Richard, creating clubs and making up their club rules and today they finally got to play with their new Floam, which was a big hit (more on this tomorrow).
And with that I'm going to go, sit down with a beer and a Lemonade Sparkle (I blame Nat for this one), put my feet up and watch some trashy television.
Oh but finally here is my class layout, as usual click on it for a larger image. It scanned terribly and cut the edges off but I can't be bothered to do it again.
