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

Welcome to the party, Miss Julie! She’s showcasing this project on her blog, Notes on Paper. Go check it out!

Julie deserves a medal for understanding strange notes I send her when she’s working on a layout for a project. I send her notes like “I like this frame. Only I don’t. Can you make me like it, like for real?” And what do you know…she’ll create a layout that makes me love it. She’s appeared here before—she wrote this guest post as part of The Month of Colour.

Some Julie trivia for you: What is the name of Julie’s dodo?

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

Thanks for putting on your party frock this weekend, Julie!

And up next, it’s Cleo from Bristol. You can see the full project on her blog, Undomesticated Scrapplng Bliss.

I met Cleo for the first time (I think!) last March, when I sat next to her for a weekend of cropping. She is the one responsible for the now infamous Thicker photo shoot and I don’t think I ever stopped laughing while she made a layout that is seriously called Hello, it’s a Banana Phone. This is the kind of entertaining girl she is—a natural for a party then!

So Cleo’s trivia question is a bit partyish indeed! Name just one of the fancy-dress costumes that made an appearance at her sister’s 21st birthday party.

The answers are on her blog – find one and post it here in the comments! Remember, at the end of the weekend, all the trivia answers will go into a prize drawing.

Thanks for partying with us, Cleo!

Say hello to our next lovely party guest—Miss Katherine. You can see her complete Paris project on her blog, Scraps, the City and Me.

Katherine’s blog is highly likely to crack you up, as this girl tells it as she sees it, and then spices up the stories with bold-but-graceful layouts. Right now she seems to have a zillion projects on the go, with crafty things and the reconstruction of her flat at the moment. She is one busy girl!

Some Katherine trivia for you: what piece of crafty machinery did Katherine receive for her birthday?

Thanks for partying with us, Miss K!

And here comes Alissa, our next party guest! Her photo-loving project is on her blog for your enjoyment! Do check it out!

When you go to her blog, you’ll see that Alissa is one of my greatest ambassadors! I think she has taken every online class I’ve taught in the last three or four years! And I think she even finished all her projects too. I love seeing her projects come together, and every year her Christmas journal is a winner. I just love this girl’s scrapping style.

Some Alissa trivia for you: Where did Alissa and her mum have breakfast (with coffee!) recently?

The answer is on her blog – post your guess in the comments here!

Thank you for gracing the party with your stylish ways, Alissa!

This sneak peek is just drop-dead gorgeous and it’s from our next guest, Tara. You can see the full project on her blog, The Pink Couch.

I’ve been following Tara’s pages on Flickr for a little while now and they are super pretty and unique – when I realised she had a blog I was happy as could be! Her projects and photography are just luscious and lovely—you will love her blog for sure. Pretty, pretty and beyond pretty!

Time for some Tara trivia: what did Tara recently recycle to make cute and crafty placemats?

Find the answer and the project on her blog—post your guess in the comments below!

Thanks for the party dance, Tara!

Say hello to Lisa everybody! She’s our next party guest and she’s sharing this project on her blog, The Moments In Between. I think I see fabric in that minibook—can’t wait to see the rest!

Lisa is better known as GlueStickGirl in some parts—that’s how I found her work on Two Peas. Her pages are adorable and her twitter feed can be hilarious as she updates on day to day stories involving both glue sticks and her kids. She posts some of the most hilarious cell phone snapshots – the kind that will be great ammunition when her kids are teenagers!

A trivia question about Lisa then…what cool piece of furniture holds the punches in her scrap room?

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

Stay and party with us a while, Lisa!

Next up we have a project from Rachel—see the full project on her blog. Ribbons and bling and hmm…is that a bit of Disney I see in the corner?

Rachel lives in the great land of the north, where I would need to wear a parka in August: Leeds. Her pages are always bright and energetic and layered! Super cute, every time.

A little Rachel trivia: Where did Rachel take her boyfriend for a rather gigantic meal on his birthday?

The answer is on her blog – post it here in the comments. {Don’t forget, all the trivia comments are going in the hat at the end of the weekend for some prize drawings!}

Thanks for being such a fun party girl, Rachel!

Let’s hear it for Christina, our next party girl! She’s showing you this supercute minibook in full on her blog, Eye Candy.

I actually cannot remember how I first came upon Christina’s work, but I remembered her blog for the coffee reference and I’ve been reading ever since! Her work is fresh, funky and honest, and I love the new spins she puts on products. She looks at papers and supplies in a different way that is very cool indeed.

Christina trivia time! What was Christina’s number one, top of the list pick of all the new products at CHA last week?

Find the answer on her blog and add it in the comments here. At the end of the weekend, all the correct trivia answers will be entered into a prize drawing!

Thanks for rocking the party, Christina!
