paper: pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

And one final party guest for the night—it’s Tracie! Check out the full project she created on her blog, Life and times of a 12×12 addict.

Tracie’s pages are always gorgeous and packed with the punch of bold colours, details and dimension. The pages she does with black cardstock and high-contrast papers? I think those are my favourites! But it’s oh so hard to choose.

Tracie trivia to wind up our trivia challenges: what unique item did she scrap in Pencil Lines challenge 144?

Find the answer on Tracie’s blog and post it here in the comments for a chance to win.

Tomorrow, all the trivia answers from the whole party will be entered into a prize drawing.

Thank you for partying with us, Tracie!

And with that, we must say goodnight! Class starts bright and early tomorrow morning so I best get some sleep! Hope to see you there! And thank you so much for partying with me alllll weekend long!

It may be late here but not in her timezone—let’s welcome Joy to the party! She has been busy making two projects to share with you – check them out on her blog! ETA: Looks like this post isn’t up quite yet – but it should be there for you soon. Sorry for the delay.

Joy is my official crazy helper on the US west coast. When I mean crazy helper, I mean when I send her an email and say ‘what would you think if I borrowed your kitchen to make like 15 dozen cupcakes?’, she says Come on over without missing a beat. She also comes to class to help me out, stops me from losing my cool…she is genuinely the exact kind of person you want around when you’re in a stressful situation. And when you’re not in a stressful situation, then she is just hilarious. All. the. time. Love her and love her work!

Some Joy trivia for you: why did Joy have trouble getting many scrapbook pages made in July June of this year? Sorry – you guys read more carefully than I did! It was the July kit, but the month was June! Well spotted, clever ladies!

Find the answer on her blog and post it here in the comments!

Thank you for partying it up with us Joy—and this time I didn’t leave your kitchen covered in a dusting of flour! Rad.

Final few party guests coming up and this is the lovely Charlotte! You can see the full project on her blog, Twinkle Twinkle. I am extra curious about this one since she showed us such a sneaky sneak peek indeed!

Charlotte makes beautifully rich pages about her family and has recently returned to her blog after a bit of a hiatus, so welcome her back to blogland, won’t you?

A Charlotte trivia question for you, of course: Charlotte had what colour dungarees/overalls/playsuit in 1975? (Sorry Charlotte, I couldn’t resist.)

Thank you for partying with us, Charlotte—and possibly for being such a good sport!

Welcome Hannah, our next party guest! You can see this project in full on her brand new blog, Who is Hannah Banana?

Hannah is a fellow member of the Banana Frog design team and whenever I see the Dominique letter set, I think of her! She uses bright colours and bold patterns but makes it all come together in the end with just the right balance. She’s just started her blog but I am sure there will be more good posts to come.

Time for Hanna trivia: what or who is one of Hannah’s guilty pleasures?

Find the answer on her blog and post it here in the comments for a chance to win.

I wonder if you’re wearing your new shoes to our party, Hannah? Thanks for stopping by!

Time for another lovely guest—this time a royal! Next up, it’s Jan, also known as The Queen of Quirk in the world of digital scrapbooking. See this full project—which is a paper layout—at her blog.

I met Jan when she became a Garden Girl at Two Peas—and she’s right here in England! I felt like I should have known her before. You can find her lush digital goodies here—I love the richness to all her papers and her new mini photoframes are extra, extra cute. Jan also runs Songbird Avenue, which offers digital kits every month with all the proceeds going to a nominated charity.

Some Jan trivia for you: what special theme day recently saw Jan’s daughter in costume for school?

Find the answer on Jan’s blog and post it here in the comments for a chance to win!

So glad you could make it to the party, Jan!

Oh, the end of the weekend is drawing nigh, but I still have half a dozen VIPs for you to meet! Next up is Nina. You can see this project in full on her blog, Adventures in Bugland.

Nina works in a supercute scrapbooking store in Essex and she grew up not far from where I used to teach. I’m not sure if she would have been an angel or a demon in my class though! She has a love of pretty patterned papers and summer music festivals.

Nina trivia for you: what presents did Nina make as end-of-term gifts for teachers?

Find the answer on her blog and post it here in the comments!

Thank you for being such a party girl, Nina!

The party keeps on rolling and Anna is up next! You can see this full project on her blog, Scrapping Tonight.

Anna keeps herself busy with a scrapping business, a crop and several online challenges! I love that her pages are always happy with just the right mix of bright-but-not-too-bright colours and patterns.

Some Anna trivia for you: Anna painted Lily’s face to be what animal?

Find the answer on her blog and post it here in the comments!

Thank you so much for par-tay-ing with us, Anna!
