Tracie found my blog post about using Children’s books as a source of design inspiration and she send me the best message I’ve EVER had on Facebook.
“Alice!!!!! I’m about to scream with joy reading your blog! Your design inspiration from children’s books is AMAZING!!! Would you be interested in being a guest on the Scrap Gals and us doing a whole show about it????” – Tracie Claiborne
So, after I stopped squealing with excitement, I said YES!!! (of course)

My favourite childhood books I mentioned:
The Animal Storybook by Suzie Siddons Illustrated by Rowan Clifford
This Can’t be Happening at McDonald Hall by Gordon Korman
Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
Geeky fact that may break your heart:
Did you know that there was no real Carolyn Keene? It was a pen name and the books were written by several authors. I was DEVASTATED to find out!!! Okay, I totally apologize if I just broke your heart!
The new class that I mentioned:

Well done Alice, the show was awesome! I’ll have to look through my kids’ books with a different eye tonight.
Thanks Jo-Lee! My head is spinning with all of the ideas that we came up with! LOVE scrapbooking and the world of possibilities!
That’s awesome, I love listening to those two!
Thanks Lisa! You can really tell that Tiffany and Tracie have a passion for scrapbooking, eh? 😉
i like how you linked the stuff you talked about on the podcast. very handy. i also had many of the disney records, stories. “you can read along with me in your book. you know it’s time to turn the page when you hear the chimes ring like this”…in fact when i worked in childcare i got those disney stories & tapes at yard sales, & let the kids listen to them during their playtime. it was also interesting to hear about how your experience with LOAD & scrap happy. 🙂
Thanks for commenting Teddi. I’m so glad that you found a connection with our topic, it’s amazing how inspiring children’s books can be! If you’ve never tried LOAD before I certainly recommend it!
Really enjoyed listening to you on the podcast Alice – great job! Enjoyed your contributions to LOAD too!
Awe! Thanks Susan! I’m so honoured to hear you say that, I think half of the layouts I’ve starred as my favourites have turned out to be yours! I’m a big fan of your scrapping style!
