This was the very first online community that I joined and I am so glad that I did...and for so many reasons. I began my time at SB.com looking at all the amazing scraprooms and using some of the great ideas that I found there.
I was still happily scrapping the CM way and then I started to look at the SB.com gallery. WOWsers!
In May of 2009, I attended CKU, Creating Keepsakes University. THAT was THE turning point. I began to shed the CM way and branch out into all the fabulous new techniques and products available from all the amazing scrapbooking companies {that I'd never even heard of a year ago}.
They also have challenges and contests over at SB.com. The first one I joined was the 2009 Album Contest. The prize was a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR gift certificate to the store! That seemed worth the time and effort to create and upload 50 new layouts!!! A few weeks ago, I got the word. I WON!!!!! The timing was impeccable. It was right after the HVACatastrophe aka, halt on all unnecessary spending. I held on to my gift certificate until the CHA releases that I "had to have" were in stock. Then I hit the order button. A few days later, the UPS guy showed up with my haul.
Just look at all this goodness:

What a dream come true. Thanks Kels and the rest of the team at Scrapbook.com. You can bet I have my 2010 album started!

WOwza...what yummy goodies! Congrats on the big win! I've just started hanging out at Sb.com some. I have two challenges there I've been participating in. It almost seems to big for me though (that coming from a small town girl, whose largest college class was 30 people...lol...)
Well done you Kristie, that should keep you going for a while. Good old scrapbooks.com
Have a wonderful weekend. Taraxxx
Congrats, Kristie! What a thrill it must have been to open that box!
Always fun to get scrappy happiness! Congrats on winning.
