November 2015 ScrapbookingWorkshop -- Urban

The paper line "Urban" is what we are using this month.  What's funny is that when I saw this paper, I immediately thought of the photos I took this summer when we took the grandkids to the drive-through zoo, Virginia Safari, at Natural Bridge, Virginia.  I didn't really think about the title "Urban" until I started working with the paper and the complements and saw the graffiti on some of the paper, and saw that some of the complements were focusing on city references.  Duh . . . that's why it's called Urban.  But I think it also worked great for my zoo and "country" type pictures.  Guess it would be accurate to say I think this paper line is versatile!  :-)

Once again, I used lots and lots of our wonderful Flip Flaps.  This time, not only did I use the 4x6 size, but I also used the 3x4 and 3x3.  Wonderful, wonderful product.  Each month, using them keeps me from having to design more pages to accommodate all of the photos.  Just use Flip Flaps!!  

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  Our next workshop will be January 11th and 12th.  We'll be using the White Pines paper line from the Holiday Expressions mini-catalog.

September 2015 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Zoe

For our scrapbooking workshop this month, we are using the brand new Zoe paper line.  Love, love, love this paper!  The colors are great and the designs for the papers are really fun.  My niece got married in July of this year in Avon, NC, and we spent a week there -- our first trip to Avon.  We had a wonderful time, and the wedding was just perfect.  I think the "funness" (I'm sure that's not a word) of these pages was just perfect for such special pictures.

Believe it or not, I scrapbooked 59 pictures on these 4 layouts, and all but 2 are 4x6 photos!!  That's all thanks to our wonderful Flip Flaps.  I can't tell you how much I love using Flip Flaps -- rarely, do I scrapbook without them!!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  Our next workshop will be November 16th and 17th.  We'll be using either the Urban paper line from our brand new Annual Inspirations catalog which went live September 1st, or the White Pines paper line (think Christmas) from the new Holiday Expressions mini-catalog which also went live on September 1st.

 

August 2015 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Blossom

Wow, we took a long break from workshops -- 3 months!  But we got back together this week and had a great time working on pages using the Blossom paper line.  This paper really fooled me -- it's really much more versatile than I thought when I first saw it.  I used it for several different groups of photos, and I can easily see beach/river/pool pictures looking adorable on it, too!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meeting every other month.  Our next workshop will be August 14th and 15th.  We'll be using the Zoe paper line from our brand new Annual Inspirations catalog which goes live September 1st!  BTW, love, love, love the new catalog and Holiday Expressions! 

 

May 2015 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Snowhaven

I know it's finally spring weather, but we are working on getting all of those adorable snow pictures in our albums this month.  We are scrapping with the beautiful Snowhaven paper at our May workshop.  The colors are vibrant and look fabulous against the snow pictures!

Thanks to Dana Kessler for her fabulous page designs this month.

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next workshop will be July 13th and 14th.  We'll be using the Blossom paper line that can be found in the new Seasonal Expressions 2!!

March 2015 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Yuletide Carol

Get those Christmas pictures printed and in your scrapbooks!  We are scrapping with the beautiful Yuletide Carol paper at our March workshop.  I really love this Christmas paper -- the colors are so rich, and I love the nostalgic feel of the paper and embellishments.  We tried something new this month and are incorporating the My Crush Assortments.  These little packs are chocked full of fun embellishments and are designed to go in the My Crush books, but they are perfect for regular scrapbooks as well!  And the Holiday Happenings Assortment coordinates perfectly the Yuletide Carol paper.

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next workshop will be May 11th and 12th.  We'll be voting at the March workshop for the paper that we will be using in May and July.

And by the way, the new Seasonal Expressions 2 is here!!  That means two more paper lines!!  Fun!!

February 2015 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Hopscotch

We used Hopscotch for our February workshop.  This workshop was originally planned for January, but things just got in the way, and we pushed it to February.   This paper is in our Seasonal Expressions 1 book and will only be available until the end of March. 

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next workshop will be March 9th and 10th.  We'll be scrapping with the beautiful Yuletide Carol collection.
