CKC - Portland
This last weekend I went to Creating Keepsakes Convention in Portland. I took a couple of classes. Loved them both. One of the classes was taught by Ali Edwards. Here's a terrible picture that I got of her at the convention. But hey it was fun to just be in the same room with a "celebrity". Does that make me sound a bit like a stalker?
I really appreciate her ability to "embrace imperfection". There's no right or wrong way to scrapbook according to her. She just tries to get you to DO IT! I am sometimes paralyzed by my perfectionist tendencies and I don't get anything creative done. She pushes me out of my box.
The other class I took was taught by Lain Ehman. She works for Simple Scrapbooks and I thoroughly enjoyed her as a teacher. The content of her class was based on a book coming out soon written by Donna Downey. It taught us how to make 3 different looking layouts with the same sketch by flipping it or rotating it.
Didn't win one blasted door prize, but had a lot of fun and spent a lot of money!

Hey I totally understand how you feel...I struggle with the perfectionist tendencies...especially with my house and scrapbooking. Maybe you could share some ideas with me, which means we should scrapbook together sometimes?!
