Rub ons that don't rub on! Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I could pull my hair when this happens. I was working on a layout, it was coming along nicely and then I decide to add on some rub ons. And what has happened this time and many times before, they only transfer partly, and I am not using any cheap ones. Oh it makes me mad!!
Another things I am having problems with is the whole process of taken pictures of my layouts, HELP!! We hardly have any natural light in my house and outside is just snow snow snow, what should I do?? build some sort of light box or something?
I signed up for Kelley Purkey's class "Beginnings". This will be the first online class I take, and I am looking forward to it. I need a little inspiration, and I dig Kelley's style. That class starts soon(not sure of the exact date) My mind is on Fl mode which will be happening at the end of March, so it feels like I cannot get out of that mind frame.I am also interested in Shimelle's new class, "Something from almost nothing". This one sounds right up my alley, its for those of us with the big stash of supplies and who need that push to start using it all up.
Last week I totally purged my supplies and sent out not one BUT two big boxes busting at the seams with supplies to a charity called In My shoes. They will use the supplies to make life books with children and young adults. So if you have piles of stuff you are not using and need somewhere to send them to, I highly recommend this charity.
Ok back to that class(the Shimelle one), I want to start using what I have. Its fun getting new things but to me its kinda of stressful when you have all of this new stuff and its not getting used. I like the idea of using it, and then looking around and seeing that I am running out of supplies and need more. No more of this overwhelming crap I tell you. My space is small enough that I have, why be over run with paper and supplies??
Now I must be off to think up ideas for a surprise birthday present for a good friend. I am thinking something collage like and along the lines of Alice in wonderland, possibly a quote from the original story.:)
Go you on the on-line classes:) They are so awesome!
You know I am addicted;) Now on taking pictures of lay-out's. Try outside:) I have heard a white background helps too. I think Studio calico had a thing on that a while back. I will see if I can find for you:)

I photograph outside and just tack them up onto a wall, door, window, etc. and take them that way, so as long as nothing is falling down out of the sky, I don't have to worry too much about it.
I LOVE rubons but they drive me crazy too. I have to rub, rub, rub, then pull up a little and check and then rub, rub, rub and so on. they're crazy.
Thank you for posting about the charity, I just purged a bunch of stuff so I will check that out!
