November 2017 Scrapbooking Workshop – Beary Christmas

We are using the super fun “Beary Christmas” paper line this month.  The more I cut, the more I loved it!   And adding some silver and red glitter paper and trim makes it perfect for your pictures.  Three of these layouts use our Pocket Plus insert pages (thanks to fellow consultant, Tina Lovell, for her awesome Pocket Plus layouts).  The Pocket Plus pages are another perfect way to add more photos to layouts and can be used in combination with our Flip Flaps (which I have done on three of the layouts on which I used the Pocket Plus insert pages), or they can be used when you just have a few more photos to add.  I haven’t totaled up how many photos I scrapbooked on these five layouts with using Flip Flaps and Pocket Plus pages, but it’s a lot!!  And who doesn't have oodles and oodles of Christmas pictures?!?!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops. We typically meet every other month. The next workshop will be in January and we will be using the adorable “Silver & Gold” paper line from new Holiday Expressions catalog.

February 2017 Scrapbooking Workshop – City Sidewalks

I love the City Sidewalks paper suite!  These four layouts include lots of Cricut cuts from the City Sidewalks digital Cricut collection -- aren't they fun!! 

I did use lots of 4x6, 4x4, and 3x4 flip flaps again – of course – I just love our flip flaps!  :-)  They are great for adding extra photos without creating another layout.  I also usually hide my journaling under one of the flip flaps.  

On the "I Ruff Christmas" layout (the 4th one shown below), I used a 6x12 flip flap to add a little pizazz to the layout as well as additional photo space.  This flip flap is included in the workshop kit.

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next two workshops will be in March and May.  We will be voting on paper packs from the new Seasonal Expression 1 supplemental catalog when we meet in February to decide what paper we are going to work with for March and May.

This is the "I Ruff Christmas" layout with the 6x12 Flip Flap on the right lying flat (closed):

Note:  This is not part of the workshop kit, but I also personally used one of the new Pocket Plus page inserts (Design 3) for my overflow pictures of Santa that didn't fit on either of the two layouts I did for our visit to the Legendary Santa ("Tis the season to be jolly" and "Noel").  I also used two of the leftover PML cards (including one journaling card) that come in the kit.  I'll decide into which layout I will insert this page when I add the pages to my album (I'm leaning toward "Tis the season").  That's the beauty of these Pocket Plus page inserts -- you can use them in multiple layouts  They are another great way of adding additional photos or journaling to a layout.
