Pink Paislee's Queen Bee collection is ready for sketches this Saturday...

I have no idea how many paper collections we've seen in Scrapbook Generation's almost-six-years of existence, but the number is large. I've liked lots of them, but there have been a few that just absolutely captured my admiration in a huge way, and Pink Paislee's "Queen Bee" collection falls in that latter category. I've been longing to create something with these papers since the moment I saw them!

We'll be using the papers above for this Saturday's Debbie Sanders free sketch sessions. I'll post the actual layout later in the week. We hope you can join us at one of the four sessions -- 10, 11:30, 1 and 2:30. Your cost for the layout will be less than $4! (And if you're not as excited about these papers as I am, you always have the option of choosing other papers.) Just give us a call at 417-886-0440 to sign up.
