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 1^st.  We will be voting on which paper line to use at our workshops this month.  They are all so cute – I can't wait!

June 2016 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Happy Times

Close to My Heart had a special in May for National Scrapbooking Month for the Happy Times paper line so we decided to use that paper in June.  We used a workshop designed by Brenda Rose -- she did a beautiful job with the coordinating "Happy Times" stamp set. 

We will be using the new Calypso paper line in August for our next regular workshop.

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The remaining workshops for 2016 are August, September, and November.

May 2016 Scrapbooking Workshop -- La Vie En Rose

The paper line "La Vie En Rose" is what we are using this month.  What fun paper this is!!  You can put basically use any color with it, dress it up or dress it down -- just have fun with it!  I'm going to use it to document Olivia's fantastic year with her All-Star cheering team with Fame.  They had a fantastic year, so I'm going to use all four layouts to document it.  Her uniform is black and deep red so this paper paired with Ruby is perfect!  I haven't added the pictures yet, but you can see the empty flip flaps in the photos (not nearly as cute as her photos will be).

We are embellishing the pages using the Picture My Life Beautiful You cards, the Basic Fundamental Stickers Pack (with gold foil), the gold foil tape, and the gold bling gems.  I have added a few items, but will add a lot more once I add the pictures and know where to add what!  :-)

We will be using the National Scrapbooking special paper, "Happy Times" for a special workshop on June 14th.

The new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog went live on May 1st, so we have 3 new paper lines.  We will be using the new Calypso paper line in August for our next regular workshop.
