I loved this class so much (I MAY have mentioned that before LOL) but it has taken me a while to get back into it since returning home. Somehow, the morivation wasn't there when I was not doing it at the same time as everyone else.
It was easy to do the pages when the prompts were fresh each week and when everyone else was working on them.
However, I have persevered and I have finished. I did a couple of extra pages that were not part of the class, namely Silver, Gold and Lime, but they were colours I HAD to have in there so I added them anyway.
I considered binding it using the Bind it All (yes I am prepared to have another go with it after a lesson from Jakki) but the pages were too thick to go in and it really wasn't worth risking it, so armed with my trusty new Crop-a-dile, it is bound with book rings and rainbow fibres.
I really enjoyed doing it and there are some pages int here that I am really pleased with. I LOVE my aqua and blue pages (I think they may be my favourites) and I love the black and the white as well. The gold had to be int here as Jakki, one of the cats and Mom and Dad were in there. I could not leave Nij out and it seemed fitting to make him the gold page - the most precious of all. (It is all gold and glitter and bling but I scanned it so it killed all the sparkle (apart fromt he twinle in his eyes that is!)
Well - I had an excuse not to do the housework as I HAD to finish this book today (I used the DT work I had to finish as the excuse yesterday ... mmmm need to think of an excuse for tomorrow) so now I have finished it that is me done scrapping for the weekend. I am chuffed, however, as I have done 6 pages this weekend. I guess I can't complain about the chores now!
Your whole album looks amazing - really tactile - I just want to reach into my computer screen and touch it.

Oh, my! Your color book is absolutely yummy!! Makes me want to finish my own color book ... it's not from this class you took, but was the first altered book I ever did, as a round robin. When it came back, green was left for me to finish it and I haven't yet (hard to believe since it's my fave LOL!) I'm going to have to dig it out soon ...
