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!

January 2016 Scrapbooking Workshop -- White Pines

The paper line "White Pines" is what we are using this month.  I made a comment when I first saw this paper line that I wasn't that crazy about it, but boy, after working with it, I take back what I said!  I really like the way the layouts turned out.  The first layout is the layout designed by CTMH for the WOTG (I changed it by adding red glitter paper and a few other small changes).  Again, I couldn't believe they were including Chocolate as cardstock -- I mean, who uses brown for Christmas pictures?!?  I thought for sure I'd be substituting something for the brown.  But it really does work well with this paper! 

I added red, gold, and white glitter paper to the paper, and lots and lots of Cricut cuts (45 different Cricut cuts used on the four layouts).  I haven't put pictures on the pages yet -- I haven't had a chance to even look at my Christmas pictures to see which ones I want to use, but I went ahead and committed to the sizes of the pictures I'm planning to use and added mats so that you can see the pages finished (we won't cut the mats in class).  

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  Our next workshop will be March 7th and 8th.  We'll be voting on paper lines this week to determine what we are going to use next.

BTW, the new Seasonal Expressions 1 catalog went live on January 1, so we have 3 new paper lines!  I have a feeling we might be using something from the new catalog in March.
