Travel 1 and 2 Class

Well I finally finished designing the second part of my Travel class. I'm going to post the first three two page layouts, followed by the new ones!  This time I've included suggestions on how to place pictures.  Because my group of 6 just want to do the layouts and then worry about adding pictures later on, the designs do not allow for a lot of items that would end up on top of the pictures. 








Hope you like them! One of the things that I did is use some of the packaging.  Why, because it was really awesome, LOL! With the picture on a mat, it really is not a problem. Actually for all I know the packaging is acid free, but since I don't know for sure, I made sure that the picture will be matted!

Next post? Hmmm... do check back!

Other Ways to Save - 2 Peas Big Move Sale

In the interest of full disclosure I actually had this post or at least part of it written quite a week or so ago, but things happened and I didn't get it posted! I am sure you've noticed the Two Peas in a Bucket link in the left hand column of my blog.  I recently became an affiliate of their website. So yes, if you use my link, 2Peas will share a very small portion of their profit with me. You, however, will not pay a penny more than you would if you ordered directly from their website, honest. I consider that a win, win!

 I love how they do things at 2Peas and right now they have some fantastic sales going. The reason being that they are growing, yes they are despite the current economy! They are also stocking more stams and more card making items. Because of their growth, they are moving to a new warehouse!  I think I am going to miss the wacky walks through the old warehouse, though I am sure that the wacky will stay in. How could it not be funny with Kitty and Jamie?

Of all the sales here is are my favorite two:
Select Papercrafting Florals now on sale for a limited time. Click here to go to the 81 floral items (lots of Prima)  that are currently on sale at 25 - 30% off.
Select Scrapbooking Paper Kits and Paper Pads now on sale for a limited time. If you know me, you know I love paper kits.  Some of these are 50% off and they are not from 5 years ago!  So that makes it a great time to go and shop!

Also on sale for a limited time::
- Select Hero Arts stamps
- American Crafts Adhesive Extreme Value Pack 25% off
- Select American Crafts Albums.
- Select Deer Lizzy Products.
- Select Martha Stewart Products.
- Select punches now on sale for a limited time.

I am not going to be making lots of these sale pitch posts, and I wouldn't now, except that these are really good and worthwhile deals and to me they are offered to you in the same spirit as I post coupons. So that's it.  Next post... some creative projects!
