January Scrapbooking Workshop -- Grateful Heart

Don’t you just love the Grateful Heart paper?!?  I loved it when I first saw it, and love it even more now that I’ve had a chance to work with it.  The colors are all so rich.  And photos on the page just make the colors pop!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops. We typically meet every other month. The next workshop will be in March. 

June 2017 Scrapbooking Workshop – No Worries

Here’s the “No Worries” workshop for June.  I love this paper so much!   It was easy to get five 2-page layouts using the paper packet, the coordinating cardstock, and the Complements.  I used lots of flip flaps (even more than normal) – such a great way to add more photos to hide journaling.  I used them in a traditional way on some of the pages and in a “waterfall” way on a couple of the pages – once vertically and once horizontally.   

Thanks to flip flaps, there are 11 photos in the horizontal "waterfall" style photo bundle on the left side below (see the photos of us on the beach)!

And thanks to flip flaps, there are 21 photos in the vertical "waterfall" style photo bundle on the left side below!!

I had so many Hawaii photos, on the “Get Away” page, I decided to add two Pocket Plus Memory Protectors for my photos (not part of the regular kit).  Following are photos to show how the pages look adding the Pocket Plus Protectors.  It is so easy to include additional photos with our Pocket Plus Protectors!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops. We typically meet every other month. The next workshop will probably be in August or September (to be voted on when we meet in June), and we will be using the “Jack” paper suite from the new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog that went live May 1st.

  

November 2016 Scrapbooking Workshop – Swan Lake

We used the Swan Lake paper suite in November, and it is really nice paper and versatile!  I'm sure this paper was designed for fall and Thanksgiving type pictures, but I was bound and determined to actually put pictures on my pages this month before the workshop.  I thought I had printed Thanksgiving pictures from last year, but when I went to scrapbook them, alas, I had not printed them yet.  However, I did have prints of our Virginia Beach trip this past summer, so I figured out a way to make them work.  This paper and embellishments were all about being thankful and feeling blessed, and I am so thankful for our family and the time we can all spend together, so those pictures worked out perfectly.  And I can truly say that this is versatile paper!  :-)

There is one piece of black patterned paper with seasonal fall words on it, but I just covered it with photos -- no problem!!

I did use flip flaps again – of course – I just love our flip flaps!  :-)  

I also used one of the new Pocket Plus page inserts (Design 1) on the "Love" page.  I think these Pocket Plus inserts are going to become a favorite of mine and rank up there with the Flip Flaps!  They are another great way of adding additional photos or journaling to a layout.

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  We will start out the new year in 2017 by meeting in February and then again in March.

This is the Pocket Plus Page insert:

November 2014 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Chalk It Up

Chalk It Up is the paper line we are using for November.  It's great for all those back-to-school photos, but I can also see it being used for other events, too. 

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next workshop will be January 12th and 13th.  I'm not sure yet what paper we'll be using.  We'll be voting on the next couple of kits at our November workshops.  They will be from the  CTMH Annual Inspirations idea book and/or the new Seasonal Expressions!

 

September 2014 Scrapbooking Workshop -- Seaside

We are using the Seaside paper line for our September workshop.  I love this paper!!  I think it's the best beach paper and embellishments that we've had in a while.  As usual, I used a lot of Flip Flaps -- love those things!  What a great way to get a lot of pictures on your layouts!

Let me know if you are interested in joining our workshops.  We typically meet every other month.  The next workshop will be November 10th and 11th, and we'll be using the Chalk It Up! paper line from the new CTMH Annual Inspirations idea book!
