Workskhops for April & May

For my scrapbook club members, here's a sneak peek at April's layout. It's male themed!

I can't believe I actually have pictures on this one already! That's a first! Of course I added a few accessories (the pirate charms) that coordinated with my theme that you won't have for your layout, but this might give you an idea of some male themed pictures you have that you can bring with you the night of class!

Now, next month, (May) I will begin offering a kit that anyone can purchase to make the featured layouts of the month. You do not have to join the scrapbook club. I'll post the featured layouts of the month, and if you want to purchase the kit you can, but if you don't like the featured layouts, you don't have to get them! You are welcome to come to my class night and put your layout together with my club members, or you can order your kit and put it together at your home. If you choose to come to scrapbook club, the featured stamp set and inks will be available for your use. If you choose to do the layouts at your home, you will need to purchase the featured stamp set and inks if you don't have them, or feel free to subsitute something else that you have on hand. There will be 3 different levels that you can purchase, according to what you want to invest. Included in your kit will be what you need to make the featured layout, plus you will receive instructions to make an additional 2 more 2 page layouts featured in the Cherish or Imagine book. And, you'll still have plenty of paper and embellishments left over to make even more layouts, or maybe some cards. Below is May's featured layouts: These layouts use the new "Bella" papers featured in the new catalog (available May 1st)

Above is layout #1

A couple of layouts...and some stamps

I haven't had much time to scrapbook lately, but thought I'd share a couple of layouts I finished last year (that's only a couple of months ago people!). Of course the pictures themselves are a couple of years old as I, like most every scrapbooker I know, am always behind in scrapping...but I've learned to be okay with that! My camera wasn't the best when I took these pics, but you can get the general idea. I have such fun scrapbooking my grandkiddies. Of course whenever they actually get their albums for themselves, they'll need a U-Haul to crate them out of my house!



I realize it's a little chilly for these types of pics, but maybe I'm wishful thinking about the coming
spring and summer. I used some Scenic Route paper for these pages. The colors were perfect for the colors in Wyatt's swim trunks. Ahh..remember slip & slides...such fun.



My beautiful ballerina Carleigh....she's such a ham when it comes to the camera! I love having one little fu-fu girl in my bunch of boys! Cardstock and patterned paper from CTMH.



And...just a note..

I have 2 extra of the Key To My Heart stamp sets (stamps only) that are new, never used from CTMH's January promotion if anyone is interested in them. Drop me an email or comment on this post below.

Scrapbook Club Nite Fun

Last night was Scrapbook Club....the girls were in rare form! We had a really good time with lots of laughs and made a really cute layout that is right in step with the COLD weather! I'm putting up a couple pictures of the layout we created. If you are interested in joining the scrapbook club just let me know. It's a great way to get out for a girl's nite out and have some fun. I promise you don't have to have a creative bone in your body...it's easy as can be.

Here's a close up of that cute little snowman!
