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.

Scrapbook Club – Snowhaven

Ok so I know Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet and I’m talking about a paper collection with the word “snow” in it.  I think this just might be my favorite paper collection.  Ok, I probably say that after I use every collection.

What I can say for a fact is that this is one of my favorite layouts.  I actually created it on my own, I didn’t copy anyone’s design or use any artwork for inspiration.  I picked out my pictures first, then chose a pattern and went from there.  

I embellished this layout with the Snowhaven Complements as well as some Silver Metallic Baker’s Twine.

I also added the Snowhaven Assortment with just a hint of Silver Shimmer Trim.  Since we haven’t stamped a title in forever, I chose to use the alphabet stamp set, Handwritten Print and some Glacier Ink to stamp my title.

 

For the 2nd layout I needed a pattern that featured a lot of pictures.

The Snowhaven Complements include some great choices for page titles.

Oh, and I almost forgot that I used the Best Christmas stamp set to add some embellishments, borders, and journaling touches to both layouts.

This month there isn’t a Workshop on the Go Kit for these scrapbook layouts.  However, I can put together a kit for you or you can join us to create the pages if you are local to Amelia, VA.

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.

Scrapbook Club

I can’t believe it is already May and here I am posting about what we are doing in June.  We are using the Jubilee collection to create 4-12x12 pages for June’s Scrapbook Club.

Now, I have to admit that I didn’t care for this collection when I first saw the pages in the book.  However, once I created these pages I liked it.  It is perfect for summer pics of any event. 

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

 

 

I used the embellishments that come 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) to both of the layouts.  I really liked the texture that it added to the pages.

Scrapbook Club

We are going all out for May’s Scrapbook Club and creating 8-12x12 pages using both the Lollydoodle and Ivy Lane collections.

As always, it’s your choice how much you spend so you can choose to do just 1 collection and make only 4-12x12 pages if you would like. 

Here are the Lollydoodle Pages.

 

Here are the Ivy Lane Pages.

 

As you can see the patterns of the pages are the same so we will simply cut 2 pieces of paper at one time. 

There is very minimal stamping as the pages are mostly embellished with the Lollydoodle Assortment, Flamingo Dots, Lollydoodle Complements, and the Ivy Lane Assortment, Purple Glitter Gems, and Ivy Lane Complements.
