Make something.
It’s Friday…it’s the weekend…and I have something to confess!
Click here to download the instructions for this project.
I hope you’ll comment here to show us what you’ve made, even if it’s far removed from the original book. Make it your own! I’m so looking forward to reading all your confessions.
If you’re just joining in, please read the posts from earlier this week to download the supply list and read some notes about choosing photographs.
Have a great weekend!

see now, i can just about manage to ‘cut and stick’ in my science class and thats where my talent for scrapbooking ends, im afraid – so this comment is entirely unrelated: My mummy said “awww, bless. she so lovely” – upon reciept of your hug. x
19 January 2007, 15:23
Woo Hoo! so looking forward to this and thanks for the encouragement earlier in the week Shimelle!!

19 January 2007, 17:49
Here’s my cover! I’m really excited. Cover picture is a close up of a portion of wall art I made last year. I used chipboard letters and letter stamps to put “I confess” on the picture. The rest of the stamped sayings and images (and the drawer pull) are on the transparency. All stamps ClubStamp extra, extra kit.
Thanks for looking!

I confess!! I woke up at 6 am (on a Saturday?? that is just wrong!) and while tossing and turning and trying to force myself back to sleep – all the while my mind is filled with WORK crap….it hit me….SHIMELLE’S BOOK INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROBABLY POSTED!!! And with that…my Saturday was instantly better : ) THANKS for SHARING!! (and for the dummy of the day question…what is RAK? I know I should know this—but I don’t!)
THANKS! Off to start my book!!
PS I cannot believe your cupcake photos are the SECOND BEST of the batch…they are always so mouthwateringly gor-gee-ous. yum-o

Thank you so much for this fab class. I really enjoyed it very much. All my pages are on my blog HERE I have been meaning to get in touch for a while as I was late finishing my Christmas Journal and wanted to thank you for the great prompts and a treasure of a project that I hope will stay around for years to come and reflect our families Christmas. I have a gallery on my blog that is home to all your classes that I completed last year. Many thanks once again. It has been quite a journey so far. Best of luck for 2007.

Thank you Shimelle. I haven’t scrapped in a while, so I needed this. Here is my take…

21 January 2007, 17:48
Thankyou so much for this class. A friend has only just put me onto you and I’m hooked already :) I loved this little project and actually think I might keep adding to it (hmm that’s a worry – I have more confessions LOL). I went with a red colour scheme because red symbolises danger and making confessions can definately be a dangerous thing!!
I’ve uploaded mine onto my blog here. Thanks again, this was heaps of fun :)
21 January 2007, 17:50
Shimelle – thanks so much for this great free class! It was a great weekend project – I feel all accomplished now. Here is my little mini:

“http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=105440&cat=500&ppuser=15618”
I was determined not to buy anything for this (even though I love those glittery letters!) – oops, I did buy some stamps, but that doesn’t really count, does it?!
Loving everyone else’s work too!
Thanks again Shimelle!
