September Scrapbooking Workshop -- Pumpkin Spice

Here are two different workshops for Pumpkin Spice -- one using the CTMH workshop kit in the September/October catalog, and another one using the Pumpkin Spice paper and cardstock.

Click on any photo to enlarge.

Here's what you need to do the Pumpkin Spice CTMH Workshop Kit.  I used the workshop as shown in the catalog (with a few changes) and added two additional 2-page layouts.  Here's what you need to make them:

  • G1237, Pumpkin Spice Workshop Kit (with page protectors), $39.95 or G1237NP, Pumpkin Spice Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (without page protectors), $34.95
  • X7272D, Pumpkin Spice Picture My Life Cards, $7.95.  I used some of these on the two extra layouts. 
  • Extra cardstock needed:
    • 2 sheets Pewter cardstock for bases for Project #2 (you could probably use any gray you have in your stash)
    • 2 sheets Harbour cardstock for bases for Project #4 (you could also use Charcoal or any dark gray you have in your stash)
    • 2 sheets Papaya cardstock for bases for Project #5.  You could also use Harbour.
  • Optional
    • Gold Shimmer Brush (Z3316) – I used it on the wood stickers – it looks great!
    • Gold Shimmer Trim (Z1985).  You could also cut ½” strips from Gold Glitter Paper.

Here's what you need to do the Pumpkin Spice Launch Kit.  I used some of the pages from the CTMH launch and then added two additional layouts for a total of five 2-page layouts.  Here's what you need to make them:

  • X7272S, Pumpkin Spice Paper Packet & Sticker Sheet Kit ($9.95)
  • X7272C, Pumpkin Spice Coordinating Cardstock ($9.95)
  • X7272E, Pumpkin Spice Wood Stickers ($4.95
  • Extra cardstock needed:
    • 2 sheets white for bases for Project #2
    • 2 sheets Paprika (light side) for bases for Project #4
    • 2 sheets Charcoal (dark) for bases for Project #5.  You could also use Harbour.
  • Optional
    • I used stamp D2046 ($18.95), page 9 of the September-October catalog on a few of the pages (mainly some background pieces).  You probably have something in your stash that you could use.
    • Paprika Ink (Z6534) – this is the ink I used to stamp the images from D2046.
    • Gold Shimmer Brush (Z3316) – I used it on the wood stickers – it looks great!
    • Solar Flare Stickles Glitter Gel (Z3808).  I used it to highlight some of the corners of Project #5 in the background.

July Scrapbooking Workshop -- Wander and Isabella

For July, we have two workshops -- Wander and Isabella. They are both great for documenting fun summer adventures.

Wander is great for all of those outdoor adventures.  I documented a swamp tour adventure on the Pearl River in Slidell, Louisiana.  It would also be great for hiking, camping, and mountain adventures -- so many things.  I used lots of flip flaps (and added some pocket plus protectors) -- I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone!  So many photos!  And it provides a great place for your  journaling.

Click on any photo to enlarge.

Here's what you need to do the Wander layouts (the outdoor layouts)
I did not use the workshop in the catalog.  I used some of the pages from the CTMH launch and then added an additional layout for a total of four 2-page layouts.  Here's what you need to make them:

  • X7271S Wander Paper Packet & Sticker Sheet ($9.95)
  • X7271C Wander Coordinating Cardstock ($9.95)
  • X7271E Wander Die Cuts  ($4.95) (I used most of these, but I didn't use the little frames as actual frames -- I tucked them in behind mats to create a little interest.  I did use the centers as embellishments.
  • 4 sheets White Cardstock (for bases)

Project 1:  Inhale/Exhale


Project 2:  Keep Exploring


Project 3:  Wander


Project 4:  Here & Now



Isabella was perfect for documenting some pool and beach pictures from several years ago.  I think it would be great for so many types of photos, but I think the colors are perfect for summer photos.   Again, I used a number of flip flaps and pocket plus protectors for all of the fun photos and journaling.

Here's what you need to do the Isabella layouts (the pool and beach layouts)
I used the workshop as shown in the catalog (with a few changes) and added one additional 2-page layout.  Here's what you need to make them:
  • G1233 (34.95) OR G1233NP ($29.95) Isabella Scrapbooking Workshop Kit -- One has page protectors and one doesn't.   
  • 6 sheets White Cardstock (for bases)

Project 1:  Best


Project 2:  You Are My Sunshine


Project 3:  Getaway


Project 4:  Cheers

March Scrapbooking Workshops -- "Happiness Lives Here" and "Party Time"


In March, we have two workshops again, "Happiness Lives Here" and "Party Time."

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically  meet every other month.  The next workshop will be in May.  We will be using one of  new paper suites from the March-April CTMH catalog.

Here are the layouts using the  "Party Time" paper from the core catalog.  This is the most awesome paper.  I did 3 layouts using the blue/green side and 3 layouts using the pink side.  You could easily make these all blue/green or all pink by just flipping the paper.

January Scrapbooking Workshops -- "Jingle Joy" and "Serenity"

 

In January, we have two workshops again, "Jingle Joy" and "Serenity."  It's always good to have a second Christmas paper line to accommodate all of our Christmas photos!


And I LOVE the Serenity paper.  I've always love the color blue, so this paper line definitely had my name written all over it!  I can't wait to add my photos.
