Open House Make & Takes!

Hate to wait?  Come by the Open House, at my house, tomorrow between 2 and 5 PM.  I will have several items to purchase immediately  - from the new catalog!  Any order over $50 gets a free ink pad - and we have 10 new colors to choose from!  You can also make one of these cards while you are here!

September Stamp of the Month

There are lots of possibilities with the September stamp of the month.  Here's one of mine!

 

2018 Week 26

This was a fun page.  The tent is the carousel is from the Artiste cartridge. I hand cut the sides from the scraps after cutting the carousel.

Frame It Q3 2018

The theory behind the Frame It workshops was to have a great time with your girlfriends creating something to decorate your home.  Unlike a painting, you only need a single space on your wall.  When you create another masterpiece, slip the old work out of the frame and into a scrapbook.  Add the new one to your frame for a seasonal look to your home!
The next workshop will be on September 8.  We have been holding this event at the Piper and Leaf location on Hwy 72, next to Sprouts and the new Hobby Lobby.  I still need to confirm a reservation there, but regardless of where, the event will happen on the 8th!
Cost is $25 with a frame or just $10 if you already have yours.  There are 8 kits available, so reserve yours!

August Bells & Whistles

The August Bells & Whistles workshop will be on August 24, 6:30-8:30PM, $10.

While you see a lot of brown in this picture, those are just the mats.  When you finish,  you layout will be in shades of green.
I put the title on sideways, and made the little white banners crooked on purpose. It if suits your tastes, these can be straightened and the title rotated.
The mats sizes are
(3) 4"X6" - (2) horizontal, (1) vertical
(4) 3"X4" -  horizontals
It's quite easy to rotate these pages to suit your pictures.
This layout is designed to be a birthday page, but with a few minor changes, it could work for any celebration, or even an everyday page.  Some alternate titles using the time motif -
Play Time
Time Marches On
Nap Time
Party Time
Time Flies
Vacation Time
Creative Time

There is a time for everything - so just name it!

2018 Week 25

And another in books!  I took the picture before journaling everyone's name!

2018 Week 24

I've done a fair amount of talk about doing just one single layout per week, and you would accomplish so much during the year.  While I still believe it, summer can just wreck havoc on a nice planned schedule.  So over the coming weeks I'll be playing catchup - some of it is catch up with blog posts and some of it is catch up from scrapbooking - where I didn't get to my one double layout that week, but I managed it eventually!
I did a little more work on Hurricane's college book. It's quickly coming to an end.  Just a few more months and college will be over - and so will the hounding for more pictures!
