Next month, this is starting up at Big Picture Scrapbooking:

The free summer class, The Big Idea Festival. It lasts all month. Every few days, you'll get three more ideas for using a scrapbooking kit from Cocoa Daisy.

And, lest ye be startled by that word—kit—here's a confession: before I made my projects for this class, I had never worked with a kit before. They always seemed a bit extravagant to me. Plus I like shopping for supplies! But I discovered that kits are great for pushing you out of your comfort zone. They encourage you to think in different directions because you are, in a sense, following the thought patterns and design inspiration of whoever put the kit together.

Plus, hello? This kit was full of orange supplies. Have I ever told you how much I love orange scrapping supplies?

At any rate, this class is FREE! There will be prizes and give aways in addition to all that inspiration. You can see more details and sign up here.There are some awesome scrapbookers involved and I'm certain you'll end the month with tons of new ideas. Happy scrapping!
