November 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Boutique

Loved the paper from the Boutique paper line.  It worked perfectly for Olivia’s Homecoming dance pictures (on a side note, I can’t believe this is her senior year).  The flip side of some of this paper has a lot of gold tones, so you could really change up the look of some of these layouts.

I used lots of my favorite -- Flip Flaps -- on these pages.  On a couple of them, I used the Flip Flaps in a waterfall manner wherein you place the Flip Flaps one below the other instead of stacking them on top of each other (did this on the right side of "One of a Kind" and "Beautiful").  This keeps your page from getting too bulky, but still allows you to add a lot of extra pictures.

September 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Beautiful Friendship

Here are the fabulous "Beautiful Friendship" layouts.  Two of the layouts don't have pictures yet -- I'll be adding photos from our "Tea" outing in a couple of weeks.  And what great paper for that occasion (it was the reason to plan our outing -- don't you just love scrapbooking)!  If you don't want to have your layouts have the focus on a Tea outing, then you can just flip the tea cup paper to the polka dot side on one of the layouts, and use a different title and PML card on the other layout.  Love the versatility of this kit. 

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops. We typically meet every other month. The next workshop will be in either June or July (we’ll decide this week).  We will be voting on new paper to use from the new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog.  





If you choose to complete the bonus Pocket Page Palooza, it will give you a place for an additional 24 4x6 photos!  It is made from two "Design 2" horizontal pocket pages (Item #4113).  Following are pictures of the undecorated pages.  You have lots of leftover paper to mat your photos (if desired), and you also have leftover PML cards, zip strips, and gray gems.  Have fun with these pages!

June 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Postcard Perfect

Sorry I’m so late in posting these layouts that we did in June.  We used the National Scrapbooking paper line, Postcard Perfect.  What awesome paper!  Here are the 5 workshop layouts. Can’t wait to put our beach vacation pictures on these pages.






And here are the “altered” Postcard Perfect Cut-Above layouts from the same paper line.  Can’t wait to put our beach vacation pictures on these pages, too.

May 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Gimme Some Sugar

Loving these layouts made with the fun “Gimme Some Sugar” paper line.  I love the colors and I found it to be a lot more versatile that I thought!

Once again, I used lots of Flip Flaps on three of the layouts.  I think I have a photo problem -- ha ha!!  But so thankful for our Flip Flaps to fit in all of those favorite photos!

March 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Chelsea Gardens


These layouts were created using the awesome Chelsea Gardens paper.  Isn't it pretty paper -- love the colors!

Once again, I used lots of Flip Flaps on a couple of the layouts.  In particular, on the "This Is Our Story" layout, there are 27 full size 4x6 photos -- only possible with the use of our fabulous Flip Flaps!!

Three of the layouts ("Today," "True Story," and "This Is Our Story") include silver foil paper that has been embossed using one of our embossing folders.  It's so easy to add a little bling to the pages to give them some pop!  Thanks to my fellow consultant, Jaime Llewellyn, for that idea!

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 the super fun "Gimme Me Sugar" paper line from the Seasonal Expressions 1 catalog.

January 2018 Scrapbooking Workshop – Silver & Gold

This month, we are using the beautiful, shiny and glittery Silver & Gold paper.  And if it wasn’t glittery enough, I added more Gold and Silver Glitter paper with lots of Cricut cuts.  Again this month, three of these layouts use our Pocket Plus insert pages, which are another perfect way to add more photos to layouts.  They can be used in combination with our Flip Flaps, which I have done on the right page of the Holiday Cheer layout.  Or they can be used when you just have a few more photos to add. 


Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops. We typically meet every other month. The next workshop will be in March.  We will be using one of the paper lines from the new Seasonal Expressions catalog that just went live on January 1st.  We will be voting on which paper line to use at our workshops this month.  They are all so cute – I can't wait!
