Jessica Guthrie
See photo in Jessica's post belowAbout Jessica G:
Introduced to scrapbooking in 1998 at a Yuma, Ariz., workshop, Jessica immediately jumped into the scrapbook craze with both feet. With a bachelor's degree in photojournalism, scrapbooking just was a natural fit for her, allowing her creative side to flourish along with the factual storytelling. After discovering the "new" three-
dimensional embellishments that were hitting the market in early 1999, Jessica branched out from her original style and began seeking out the latest products, styles and techniques.
Jessica was recently selected as the winner of the Creative Escape Treasure Hunt for a Teacher contest and will be teaching an acrylic album class at this national event in Mesa, AZ, in September.
Last year, Jessica launched Kits2Remember, a scrapbook idea site and online store that focuses on the latest techniques used with mini albums and home décor projects. She scrapbooks about 10 hours a week, attending crops, conventions and workshops regularly & teaching technique-driven classes at dozen scrapbook stores around California. She loves sharing the hobby with others - and turning hobbyists into addicted enthusiasts!
Jessica is an Orange County, Calif., native, and is wife to Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and air traffic controller Rodney, mother to two boys, Will, 6 and Xan, 2, and owner to three boxer dogs, Slade, Marble and Ripley.
About This Class:
An acrylic mini-book class featuring Theresa Collin's new line of paper, "Journal-It," fabric paper, StazOn ink, Tim Holtz rubber stamps and more! Then we'll bind it all together with the Bind-it-All, using matching o-wire! A great class for anyone who wants to learn new techniques with the Bind-it-All and acrylic, especially rubber stamping on acrylic! And the project features calendar grids on each page spread. So, you can use this as a year-in-review album, a birthday reminder book, or journal, such as an event or weight loss journal.

WOW! Is the weekend really over? I am still in recovery mode. Good thing final start this week for me, haha. We had a great group of 108 scrappy ladies! Including 28 Croppin' Cuties plus one person completed over 80 pages over the weekend. Lots of games were played and prizes won. I don't think we could have fit one more person in the room, good thing the hotel has offered to open up the final airwall for us in the future. Good fun and lasting friendships, I can not wait until September! Thank you again!
