This is May Flaum for Big Picture Scrapbooking - and guess what? Crazy about Kits is coming back, and I am so excited that Big Picture asked me to bring it back to life here, and it is going to be so much fun.

If you missed it the first time, this is your chance. Not only is the class back, but we've added more bonus handouts, and I think you're really going to enjoy this. It's going to be so much fun.

One of the great things about this class, the way I designed it, the way that so many of these Big Picture Classes work, you can totally use your own stash and your own supplies. If you are like me and you have got kits hanging around and you need to use them, you want to use them, you can totally feel free to use them. The projects that I'm showing you, you can use them, you can go off on your own tangent, you can mix and match weeks, you can do it however you like…that's the beauty of it for me. You can really make it so that you really don't need to go and buy anything for this class if you don't want to. Now, if you're like me and you love shopping for new supplies, of course there is Scrapbook.com. I have a kit with them, and they've got some great supplies that you can use if you want to. Again, you totally do not have to.

If you want to get a really good feel for exactly how to prepare for each week, once you have registered for class, there is a pre-class handout that steps out what we're doing specifically each week, what our focuses are from pre-made manufacturer kits to creating our own kits, to an album kit, using our leftovers, all that kind of stuff. It spells out what we're going to do in each week, some of my tips for getting organized for crops, for storing my supplies…all that good stuff. Again, that's just the pre-class bonus handout. Now, in this class, of course, our focus is on kits, everything from those great little manufacturer-created kits that are designed to go together, using a single product line, to using multiple product lines to make your own club kits, it's all in here and I have to tell you it's so much fun!

I so loved making this class, and I loved teaching this class, and I'm so excited that we're breathing some new life in it, getting some new stuff going and brining it back. I can just hardly wait. I'm so excited to do this with you. I hope that you will join me for it, and if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way at all, you can e-mail me, mayf@bigpicturescrapbooking.com Of course, the class description page tells you a lot about what's going on. We will have chats, a gallery, prizes, message board, weekly handouts. Like I just said, there is some all-new material bonus handouts and fun stuff going on, we're really going to have a blast.

I hope to see you in class to create scrapbook layouts, cards, decorated items like canvases and boxes, and just all kinds of fun stuff. I would say the class is probably 60-75% scrapbook layouts, but there is a bunch of other fun stuff too. It's just all about stepping out of the box, use up your kits, have some fun and get inspired with some new ideas. This is big!
