Scrapbook Club–Wanderful and Heartstrings

February’s Scrapbook Club is so big we are doing 2 collections.  This means you have a choice of doing both collections or just one.

The first collection is Wanderful, which is perfect for all of your travel photos.

I personally have a lot of travel photos and really enjoyed this kit, especially the stamp set that comes in the Workshop On The Go kit.  Here is a closer look at some of the images that are stamped (“Explore”, arrows, and the journaling spot).

The Wanderful Workshop on the Go kit comes with a roll of the Arrow Washi Tape and the Wanderful Assortment. 

I also added the the Wanderful Complements.  Here’s a closer look.

 

Now on to your 2nd choice, Heartstrings.  This collection screams LOVE, hearts, and roses.

This particular collection was not designed with a Workshop On The Go Kit, so I created my own pages.  I actually used the same pattern as the first Wanderful layout shown above.  Then I just added the Heartstrings Complements, Heartstrings Assortment, and White Shimmer Trim.

Again for the 2nd layout I simply used the same pattern as the 2nd layout of the Wanderful collection.

There is no stamping on any of the Heartstrings pages.

 

Like what you see?  You too can create these pages.  Simply purchase the Workshop on the Go Kit or if you are local to Amelia, VA simply join us at the date below.

Come and create with us?

Scrapbook Club–Chalk It Up

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season.  I spent the weekend in North Carolina visiting with my extended family.  I was able to spend some time with my aunt and cousins and their families whom I generally see once a year.  I am so grateful that we all still make the time to connect with each other. Even if it is only once a year.  I hope you are able to do the same with your families.

Well, I’m here to share another set of scrapbook layouts  that we will make at my Scrapbook Club in January featuring the Chalk It Up collection.

This collection is perfect for all of those school pictures that you have of your children.  Since I don’t have children I choose to keep mine more neutral to be able to use for something else, like retreat photos – yeah! 

The stamp set that comes in the Workshop on the Go Kit is a great for titles and journaling spots.  As shown below.

I chose to add some glitter paper from the Teal Glitter Paper Pack as photo mats.  I think those photos are really going to “sparkle” right off the page.  Ha!

Above is the second layout that I created as part of my Scrapbook Club that will meet in January.  I again used strips of a different piece of glitter paper along with a few strategically punched pieces of cardstock using the Chevron Border Punch.

Now I believe in giving credit where it is due.  I didn’t decide to use the chevron border punch, my sister did. She also had this brilliant idea. 

She used the Designer Creations Slate Paper Bags as an additional photo/journaling holder behind a photo.  How awesome, a product that was meant to be used for party favors or gift giving can become an embellishment on a scrapbook page.

Now you too can create these pages.  Simply purchase the Workshop on the Go Kit or if you are local to Amelia, VA simply join us at the date below.

Card Club–Snowhaven Card Kit

Hello!  I am back to share some more artwork with you, a lot of artwork.  Today’s post is all about the Snowhaven Cardmaking Workshop On The Go Kit (G1085).

If you are local to the Chesterfield, VA area we would love for you to join us on Thursday, November 20 from 6:30-9:30pm for this Card Class. We will make 15 cards total (5 each of 3 designs) for only $25.

Pictured above are the 3 designs as created by Close To My Heart.  The Snowhaven Workshop On The Go Cardmaking Kit ($24.95) includes the following to create 15 cards in total:

Workshops on the Go® Snowhaven Cardmaking Kit Contents:
1 – My Acrylix™ Snowhaven Workshop Stamp Set (D-size)
2 – Snowhaven B&T Duos™ Papers
4 – Cardstock Sheets (1 Cranberry, 1 Glacier, 1 Whisper, 1 White Daisy)
15 – White Daisy Cards & Envelopes
1 – Red Enamel Hearts (Z2009)
1 – Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799)
1 – Instructional Brochure

Here’s a closer look at each one.

Do you need a stamp set to caption a photo with those award-winning ugly sweaters?  Well, this is it.

I think you could even give the above card to someone who has an early January Birthday.

I love the trees stamped at the top of the card.  Another great stamp for making your own background.

Above is the stamp set that comes in the Snowhaven Cardmaking Workshops on the Go Kit (G1085) $24.95. (Sorry, I know it’s not the best photo.)

So I wanted to give my customers some choices.  Some of them are really partial to Christmas Cards that state the actual words “Merry Christmas”.  So here is what I came up with.

I kept the same design of the cards I just used different stamp sets.

This sentiment comes from one of my favorite new stamp sets, Merriest Christmas (B1468).

Ok, I know this one doesn’t say “Christmas”, but it was my last chance to use these polar bears.  How cute?  This is from Polar Bear Holiday (C1557).

This card uses 2 stamp sets, Merriest Christmas (B1468) and Sing Glory (C1587).  Sing Glory is one of our new Hostess Only stamp sets that can be seen on page 7 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  That means it is only available to Hostesses who hold a party (in person or online).  They can use their Hostess Rewards to purchase 1 of 10 stamp sets at a discount.

From the same Sing Glory (C1587) stamp set I created this card.  Love this angel and sentiment.

 

So now if that wasn’t enough, I took it a step further.  I have some customers that have already expressed a concern with doing 3 months of Christmas Cards (we made them in July and October as well).  Well, here are my non-Christmas creations.

These are probably some of my favorites.

This was the perfect sentiment to accompany all of the Red Enamel Hearts (Z2009) and the stamped heart image.  This sentiment is one of our new Mini stamps, Guiding Heart (M1046).

Everyone needs Birthday cards and on this card I used the stamp set titled Lovely Birthday (B1462).  Also, in place of where all those trees were stamped I attached a piece of white cardstock that was embossed with our Dots Embossing Folder (Z1924).

This card actually uses an older retired stamp set, sorry!  It was available for a short time as a Stamp of the Month.  I’ve still got some if you are interested, so contact me to purchase yours for $15.

 

So, there has to be something for you in this workshop and you too can make these cards.  Even if you aren’t local, I can put together a kit for you and mail it directly to you.

So who wants to join in the fun?

Scrapbook Club–Yuletide Carol

I can’t believe I am making Christmas cards and layouts already.  This year I am using 1 paper collection for all of my classes.  So that means we are already making Christmas layouts using the Yuletide Carol paper collection.

I simply followed the instructions included in the Workshops on the Go Kit, but made a few changes of my own.

I eliminated 2 of the Cricut Artbooking cuts and added the My Crush Holiday Happenings Assortment (not included in the kit).

These layouts feature a lot of paper piecing with the stamped images.  Meaning that you stamp the image in 2 different colors and trim out various pieces of each image to adhere one another.

This “peace on earth” image along with the pine bough images makes for a really nice title.

As always, you can choose to buy the Yuletide Carol Workshop on the Go Kit which includes the stamp set and embellishments or just get the paper and choose what embellishments you want to purchase.  The choice is up to you.

I used the embellishments that came in the Workshop on the Go Kit and added the My Crush Holiday Happenings Assortment.

Scrapbook Club–Pathfinding

So the new Idea Book is here and the first collection that I am playing with is called Pathfinding.  If you love fall colors and themes then this is the collection for you.

Each of the Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go Kits uses the Cricut Artbooking cartridge to create titles, accent pieces, embellishments, and more of each of the 2 pages.

I love this overlay cut that is used under the journaling sentiment.

In addition to the products that come in the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go Kit I added the My Crush Wildwood Clips (Z2047) to my pages.

I also wanted to try and use a special tool or technique on the pages that CTMH didn’t do. So I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder to emboss just 2 pieces of cardstock on each layout.  Can you see it?

I bet you can now.  What a fun look and texture it adds to the pages.  I just love it.

As always, you can choose to buy the Workshop on the Go Kit which includes the stamp set and embellishments or just get the paper and choose what embellishments you want to purchase.  The choice is up to you.

I used the embellishments that came in the Workshop on the Go Kit and added the My Crush Wildwood Clips.

Scrapbook Club–Skylark

I am so excited about the new Idea Book, but we’ve still got 1 more kit from the current book that we haven’t created yet – Skylark.  I just love the colors of this kit.  You know it’s a proven fact that blues and greens are calming and soothing colors.  Maybe that’s what makes it so appealing.

I don’t have pictures of my pages because I am trying to gather photos of my students from Fuquay-Varina High School when I was the Choral Director there.  I can’t believe that I don’t have any (or at least that I can find).  Thank goodness for Facebook because I’m able to reconnect with some of my students and they are sending me pics.

As always, you can choose to buy the Workshop on the Go Kit which includes the stamp set and embellishments or just get the paper and choose what embellishments you want to purchase.  The choice is up to you.

I used the embellishments that came in the Workshop on the Go Kit and added the Skylark Complements (Dimensional Elements) for more easy titles and journaling.

Remember that all of this product being used is retiring at the end of July so be sure to get yours today.

Scrapbook Club–Timberline

Summer is here and that means camping, swimming, and all sorts of outdoor activities.  So you know you are going to have tons of pictures that need to be scrapbooked.  Well, July’s Scrapbook Club will feature the Timberline paper collection that will be perfect for these activities.

I knew exactly what pictures I wanted to use on these pages.  A few years ago, my husband and I took a weekend trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway for our anniversary.  We stayed at the Peak’s of Otter Lodge and hiked Sharp Top Mountain.  That’s right hiked all the way up to the top and it just about killed me.  I knew just how out of shape I was when we got back to the bottom and I could hardly move later.  However, I will say that the view from the top was AMAZING!!!! (and yes, it was worth it).

As always, you can choose to buy the Workshop on the Go Kit which includes the stamp set and embellishments or get the paper and choose the embellishments you want to purchase.  The choice is up to you.

I used the embellishments that came in the Workshop on the Go Kit and created the pages mostly like CTMH did.  However, I did add the Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon (Z1929), Durables Triangle Studs (Z1928), and Chocolate Woodgrain Washi Tape (Z1930) to the layouts.
