Layout #2 was inspired by Lynn Como and I loved using the Kraft cardstock to create this "Family Tree" layout!!

Layout #4 is another inspired layout from Lynn Como!  This is a quick layout and adding a touch of gold shimmer trim adds a punch of brightness!!

This class will be on Tuesday November 10th!  Right after VCBC!!  

And here is the Hostess Club Layout we will be doing!!  It was inspired by Jacquelin Green!  I loved softening the edges with a corner rounder!!

Nevermore WOTG

Nevermore is such a fun and fabulous paper pack!!  Here's the creations for this wotg (even though it isn't a WOTG!!)

This first layout is from hostess club and was inspired by Andrea Sherman, a lovely and talented CTMH consultant!!)

This is just a super fun layout inspired by CTMH Creative Insider!! The stamp set B1460 Trick or Treat Sweets was used as well as B1453 Frightfully fun and E1029 Marquee Uppercase letters.  The witches hat is stamped in black ink on eggplant cardstock and cut out  and mounted on the white cardstock.  Frankie was stamp on white pear cardstock and cut out and mounted on the white cardstock!  Love this look!!

This amazing layout is my absolute favorite layout and it was scraplifted from Lynn Como!  It uses lots of fun embellishments from the coordinating complements!  Love love love this one!!

This layout is also inspired by Lynn Como!  It's amazing the diversity in these two layout and yet, they come from the very same paper pack!  It's so much fun!!

I hope to do one more layout featuring the steampunk stamp set B1503 Steampunk Scoundrels!!

Next class is Sangria!  I can't wait!!

Layout #1 This layout uses the Blossom Stickease!!!

The second layout was scraplifted from another talented scrapbooking artist, Susan Williamson.  (It's based on her heart strings layout!!)

Layout #2 I love the blues and greens with a pop of sunset.  

Lots of room for photos on this layout, even though 

there is no designation specifically for it.

 The third layout is based on Nickie Hoffer posted.  Quick and easy lovely layout!!

Layout #3 Love that this is mostly paper. 

 Also, something to note... this layout uses the negative 

of the Delight sticker!  What fun!!

Seaside WOTG complete

Hi Everyone,

Just finished up the Seaside WOTG and had a hard time putting it away... It was such great paper to work with!!

So... here's the hostess Club Layout that we did start the night off... It includes a 6x6 flip flap!!  

And here's the layouts that we did for WOTG.

This is my version of the first layout in the WOTG.  This uses the Artbooking Cricut cartridge for the background, the photo strip, the wave frame and the additional waves.

This fabulous layout was inspired by the amazing Julie Carriere!  The suns were cut out on cricut too. The large scallop is from the Magic how to book with the CD.  

Here's a quick one... it's inspired by Tina Lovell and loved her layout, but was out of the sorbet paper from the packet, so I used sorbet cardstock and stamped the net image on it!  Worked out pretty good too!  

This super cute layout was inspired by Kim Ferguson.  It's quick and simple and fun!! The wood embossing folder was used to make the fence and sponged with Desert Sand ink. Stamped the beach gear using A1165 Beach Gear stamp set and cut them out.  

This layout uses PML Cards and was inspired by Lori Allen... I simply picked out six PML cards (one 4x6 Horizontal, two 3x4 vertical, one 4x6 vertical and two 3x4 horizontals) stamped the arrows in those colors, added a strip of glitter paper and washi tape.  super cute and fun!!

This is my version of the other layout in the WOTG guide and changed the colors up to use just the glacier and desert sand color combination.  I love it!!  also added some of the sequins I had laying around for fun!!

Lots of great layouts to inspire ya'll!!  Hope you enjoyed it!!

July Hostess Club

This month we used Wanderful as our Kit!  Here's the layout for hostess club!  Please note that we used stamps to create our embellishment!  What fun!  It always amazes me how different colors and papers can make a layout look.  

Using the blues and purples in the wanderful kit to create this lovely layout!  

Dulce used Hopscotch to create her layout!  Love the title!! (and it's super straight too) nice job Dulce! And the zip strip works well with this layout!

Theresa is used these fun polka dots to create a fun layout for her son who's going on a road trip soon! Perfect colors!!  (note the way she changed it up a bit!!)

Next month hostess club will be on Tuesday August 18th and will be an open house.  (the third Tuesday instead of the second Tuesday!!)

Will post more wanderful layouts this weekend!!

Enjoy the summer!  it's going quickly!!

June Hostess Club

Hi Everyone!!  Here's our layout for hostess club this month!  Thanks to Susan Williamson for her inspirational layout!!

This lovely layout features the Jackson WOTG stamp set. I love the So Happy Here stamp!!  One tip when using larger more solidish stamps... rub the stamp on the base of your hand (before inking) for better ink coverage.  It works for all stamps!!  try it!!

One thing I really liked about this layout, is that it doesn't use a lot of cardstock/paper.  And there is room for two vertical  4x6's and two horizontal 4x6's.  

Dulce added texture to her layout by using the embossing folders.  Love the summery feel of this layout!!

Kathy opted to use a different paper from the Jackson kit and added some stickers as well.  Love the tree paper!!

Pam loves doing beachy layouts and so here's version using Wanderful!  It is delightful and fun!!

Theresa's layout goes perfectly with her pics!  She used ribbon to add texture to her layout!  Perfect pics for her lovely layout!!

Great job ladies!  

The next meeting is Tuesday July 14th  and we'll be doing Wanderful for the WOTG.

Also, there will be a crop Saturday July 18th from 9am to 9pm.  $10 includes a meal.  Please RSVP.  (Crop WOTG will be Blossom)

Hi everyone!!

We also used the Jackson PML cards for this layout, and if you want to split a pack, it works out really well for this kit!

And we used lot's of flip flaps in this layout.  two 6x12's, an 8x12 and a 4x12, six 4x6's and most of a pack of small assorted.

Also, the stickease and bronze shimmer tape will be a great addition for this kit.

Confetti Wishes WOTG

May's WOTG was Confetti Wishes!!  It was quite fun!!  

Here's the first layout and it was inspired by Leanne Butler and is just a darling layout.  

This is the Hostess Club Layout!!  Quick and fun!!

How fun is this!!  It uses the candle paper as a border and the candles at the bottom of the pages are stickers!!

Here's the layout from the guide minus a few stickers.  What fun is the artbooking circle cut out!!  There is a little bit of purple shimmer trim.  Also, on the bottom I used white shimmer trim and colored with the new markers to color it (Marine Blue)

This lovely layout was inspired by Laura Ryan and one of the things that I really loved about it is that it is so different from all of the other layouts!!  The flowers were cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2 inches and are sponged in the middle with canary and on the edges with pear ink. The middles of the flowers are Bling Gems Gold assortment.

Here's the shopping list for this workshop.  And this workshop will be available any time.

April Hostess Club and Workshop on the Go

Tuesday is Hostess club and WOTG.

April's Feature is Brushed!  

I have really enjoyed working with this kit!  It's so bright and springy!!

This first layout will be the hostess club layout. It was inspired by Laura Ryan!!  Love this Springy layout!!

This layout is featured in the brochure and I loved the background sponging!  Lots of great techniques on this lovely layout!  The only thing different from the brochure is that extra strip of pear at the bottom of the page... It just felt a little more finished with it.

The is the basically the same layout as in the book, but most of my clients who do WOTG have boys... so I changed the color scheme a bit and and used Pink Washi tape since the green washi tape is more of a bright green than a blue green.  Also, it's nice to show how easy it is to change things up a bit and still use the same design plan.  

I hope to do at least one more layout tomorrow!  There was lots of cutting out on these layouts ... just be forewarned!  And it was so totally worth it!

Heartstrings Cards

So Sweet Shannon's husband was out of town last week and she invited us over for a scrapping marathon!!  Thanks Shannon!!  It was lots of fun!

So I worked on some cards... and CTMH has this great Cardshop WOTG called Heartstrings!!  

So I thought I would work on those!  And I love the stamp set that goes with the set... it was fun to use.  The kit contains 15 cards and envelopes, a stampset, the puffy stickers, cardstock and papers to make the cards and a brochure with cutting directions to make these 15 cards.. (three sets of five).

It's great and quick and easy to get these cards done!  

Ink color used were slate, pixie, lagoon, ruby (and I used juniper for the floral)

And of course I changed up some the cards... because that's the fun thing, but I did use all of the pieces as they were cut from the directions.. 

Original card

(My redesign) Hearts were used instead of flowers on this card!!

 Original card (lighting is a little off... )

And here is my redesign...

This card I changed to from an upright card to a long card, basically because I liked the heart stamp going up and down. The words were changed as well... 

This card, I changed the words to Happy Valentine's day! and I added the ruby arrows on the side because it is such an awesome stamp!! (oops!!! I didn't make the original)

Anyway... it was a lot of fun to play with this card kit!  and it's just $24.95!!  Such a great value!!  And there's still time to get it here for Valentines day!!
