Sonoma Layout

This is one of the Sonoma layouts we made at the Sonoma workshop a couple weeks ago. At that time I did not have pictures or embellishments on it. I decided to use it for some snow pictures I had from 2010 instead of heritage type pictures that were shown in the Idea Book. I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the snow flakes from Petal and Kraft cardstock and used the Bronze glitter gel and bling buttons to embellish. (alphas are not CTMH) Love the way this turned out!!

Dreamin Scrapbooking Workshop, 10/29

I loved this paper when I saw the new Idea Book, but I love it even more after completing the workshop on the go and the samples for this scrapbooking workshop! The paper is just gorgeous and went so well with my pictures from last fall. The workshop on the go kit is $29.95 and should be ordered 10/15 if you would like to participate. If you wish not to stamp, you can purchase the level 2 paper pack for $9.95 and the stickease for $4.95. Please let me know if you are interested in participating, it will be a lot of fun! I also used the stamp sets Harvest Happiness (C1463) and Unscripted (C1465) as well as a LOT of new embellishments! Here are the pictures:

"Typeset" Scrapbooking Workshop, 9/24

These pictures aren't great, but they do give you an idea of what we will make at the Typeset workshop on 9/24. There are so many fun techniques to learn at this one! Dimensional stars, pearl paint, I used the spray pen with the pearl paint, and the cool new embellies! Please let me know if you are interested in this workshop.

Can you believe this card is made with a Halloween stamp set??

I decided to try to come up with alternative ways to use this month's Stamp of the Month set, Wicked. I'm not a big Halloween fan, but I have to say this is one of the cuter Halloween sets I've seen. I loved the background stamp and used it with some of the colors of the new "Dreamin" paper - Pacifica, Goldrush, and Chocolate. I made the Pacifica flower using the new CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge! So easy and it's cute too!! The Stamp of the Month set is $17.95 or $5 with a $50 purchase. You can see the set here.

"Sonoma" Scrapbooking Workshop 8/27, 2-5PM

At the Sonoma Workshop on 8/27, we will put together 6 2 page layouts using the Sonoma paper and embellishments. We will also complete the techniques from the Workshop on the Go. Please contact me by 8/13 if you are interested in participating so we can order your supplies in time for the workshop. We would love to have you join us!

"Mischief" Scrapbook Workshop Layouts + Banner!

This workshop will be Saturday, September 10th. We will make the Workshop on the go layout, and the additional layout. If you would like to make the banner too, you can purchase the My Creations banner in addition to the Workshop on the Go and I will provide the materials to make the "Autumn" side of the banner for free! We will complete this project after the scrapbook layouts.

I love the WOTG layout, and with the additional layout I made it more of a fall layout instead of Halloween by using different sides of the paper and adding the Compliments rub-ons that are so cute! Please let me know if you are interested in attending this workshop so we can order the supplies for you.
