Happy New Year!  The new year is perfect for trying new things and next month’s scrapbook club is no different.  Close To My Heart has introduced a new program called Workshops Your Way .  It is a kit that includes a full paper packet (12 sheets of matching paper), complements (coordinating stickers and chipboard/vellum), and 2 other coordinating embellishments for just $26.95.  Then with this kit they have created a workshop to make 3 12”x12” scrapbooking layouts, a Picture My Life (pocket scrapbooking) page, and cards.  The directions for the workshop can be found HERE on my website. At my Scrapbook Club in February we will create three 12”x12” scrapbooking layouts and the Picture My Life page for the new Charlotte collection. This collection features so many nuetral colors that it will match most any photos.  This picture shows all of the embellishments that come in the Workshops Your Way kit; Charlotte Complements , Black/Gold Ribbon , Treasu...

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  I have enjoyed spending time with my family and catching up. I also have finally finished creating the cards for my January Card Club, Thursday, January 28 from 6:30-9:30pm. I used the La Vie En Rose paper packet and some new products that won't be available until January 1st.  First, here's a sneak peek at the January Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet.  Here's a peek at some of the new products that aren't available until January 1st, like the Black & Gold Ribbon and the new Treasured Puffies. This card features a fun technique with heat embossing.  (Come to the class and find out how.) Here's another sneak peek of our new Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts.  I have to say I wasn't as excited about them until I used them.  They are thin metal dies that work in your die cutting machines (Cuttlebug, Big Shot, etc.) .  Each package of Thin Cuts coordinates with jus...

Scrapbook Club in January will feature 2 collections.  That’s right – you have choices.  You can choose to use just 1 collection and make 4-12x12 pages or you can create 8-12x12 pages using 2 different paper collections. Here’s how it works!  I use the same pattern for pages 1&2 of each collection.  This way you can cut 2 pieces of paper at the exact same time.  Score!!!  Double the finished projects with only 1/2 of the work. I decided not to use the Workshop on the Go kit stamp set for this page as it has a very big focus on “baby”.  I wanted to showcase that the Georgie paper collection does not have to be used for only baby pages.  So I chose the #makesmehappy Hostess Stamp Set to add my title and some accents. This stamp set is a perfect addition to your basic scrapbooking stamps. In addition to the embellishments that come in the Workshop on the Go kit I also added the Whisper Twine (that comes in the Urban W...
