Tomorrow is the first official live class for Shimelle's Scrap A Rainbow, and I am planning on getting up insanely early (not too bad, 5 am) so I can participate! The class will start at 6 am Central time, so I figure if I get up at 5, get all ready for work, I can get my hour scrapbooking class in and then go to work lol. We will see how it goes.
Anyone else "going"/excited for this first class? I am liking all the prep classes and videos so far.
ETA to change the title as this thread has kinda morphed from getting up early to sharing, which is fun!

Me! I think it’s at 7am for me. I have a friend picking me up at 9:30 to go scrapbook shopping a couple hours away so this seems like a perfect way to et in the scrappy mood!

I probably won't be able to squeeze it in until the weekend. I just saw the email and was sad that I won't be joining in live, but it's been a long time since I've taken a class so I want to make an effort to follow along.

I won't be setting my alarm. But will watch it when it becomes available on her site. Been stalking her site all day for Tuesday's video. Will go watch it now.

I don't get up that early for anything except a trip to the ER or to catch a plane!  I haven't watched anything beyond the pre-class classes as real life has been too much lately. I hope sooner rather than later I'll be able to actually start the class. I hope you'll share what you're creating! |

It's actually a pretty good time for me, 9pm, so if I remember I'll watch it live.

Yikes! That was early lol...I liked doing a live but don't think I will keep doing this time. My "scrappy brain" doesn't want to do more than drink coffee at 6 am!

So, how was it? She asks, just starting to eat breakfast. 😂 I thought it was really good! Shimelle did a nice job of reviewing the comments and questions from the forum and answering those, and also tracking comments from the live. I also thought she addressed some of the "concerns of red" very well. Admittedly, I don't really care for red in large doses so I appreciate her showing a non-Christmas, non-patriotic way of working with it. |

This is what I ended up with. I have had that flower paper forever, lol so was super glad to be able to use it on something. I think that is my very last sheet of photo realistic paper. I might sneak one more photo on there, as it feels like a lot of wasted real estate to me, lol!!  74DE7879-D4F2-419D-90F0-5B594460287D by K Mage, on Flickr |

No live for me, I usually like getting up early, but 4am is definitely pushing it. 😅 I enjoyed the lesson. I spent at least an hour going through photos trying to find something suitable for red that’s not Christmas or Disney. I have a darling photo of my two older sons in 49er jerseys, but it’s just a single landscape 4x6… and not sure my red papers will really sync with it.
I would like to get that scallop border punch she often uses.

Seriously though, I hear your dilemma. It was hard for me to find photos to match even within my big stack of Disney photos. As for that border punch, I want one too! |

I really enjoyed the live and thought she did a great job at answering the questions both from the forum and that popped up during the chat while keeping it interesting on screen. I also really liked the colour combos she showed in response to that question and seriously want to play with some of those. kmage your layout is a beautiful take on the lesson, there's love in the gallery. |

I haven't watched yet. I thought about watching with coffee this morning, but I slept too late. There is no way on Earth I would be ready to scrap at that time of the morning. My brain isn't awake yet lol. I love your page kmage! |

I didn’t want to use the Disney pics that I have here because I’m not planning to scrap them this size.  I have other plans in mind for them. I think I know what to do. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. #seekingmojo |

I have a pretty good start underway! I’m at the point I need to place the title, but I could use some help!
The photo is of my big boys when they were half their current ages! They are about 10 and 8 in this pic. They are in 49er jersey/shirts & SF ball caps. Their arms are around one another. The oldest is smiling into the camera, the younger is looking adoringly at his big brother. It is a really lovely example of their relationship growing up.
My story lens for the layout is that Big Bro is a big fan of the sport team, while Little Bro is a big fan of *him*.
I’m kinda stuck on “big fan(s)” as a title, but it’s a little anemic.
Part of the background is black with white constellations printed in it in white - with Big Dipper and Little Dipper included, which seems like it could tie in somehow to the title. 🤔

Honey pea - title suggestion - "Your Biggest Fan" This was my thought. Or I’m You’re Biggest Fan. |

Your page is adorable, kmage. I love how you went with the red floral as your main pattern. honeypea, it must feel good to be scrapping this meaningful photo. I like "Your Biggest Fan" as a title. Or "Fandom"? Or "I'm a Big Brother Fan"? |

Great job with this page, lilacgal! I love how you flipped the design on its side to use your landscape photos. |

As for that border punch, I want one too! Also wanting the border punch here...and I cannot seem to find out what one it is! I asked in the forum...between my mom and I-we have like 30 border punches and I looked thru them all over this week and I'll be darned if we do not have that one! |

Does each color have a sketch or is this class just color theory?

I have other plans in mind for them.
