January 17 - Beginners Scrapbooking - Picture My Life Mix and Mingle

I am hosting a "Picture My Life" scrapbooking playshop in my home at 1 pm on January 17.  The cost is just $5 to make 4 scrapbook pages, including the page protectors. This is great for beginners.

Please RSVP by January 10th if you'd like to attend. Email me at scrapsweetie@gmail.com

 Picture my life is a fun, easy, quick way to scrapbook. There are several kits to choose from with various themes (see pictures below).

The Picture My Life kits come with divided page protectors and a variety of sizes of cards that fit the page protectors. You just mix in cropped pictures you'd like to scrap and you're done!

The Picture My Life approach is great for beginners but is also fun for advanced scrappers who want to complete some pages quickly, or mix in a different style with their traditional pages.

You can find more details about the Picture My Life kits and see more pictures in my February 20, 2014 blog post. Each complete kit has materials to make 10 double sided layout pages including:
44 – 4" × 6" Cards (2 each of 22 designs)
78 – 3" × 4" Cards (3 each of 26 designs)
1 – 12" × 12" Designed Cover Sheet
10 – 12" × 12" Memory Protectors™ (various designs)

For this Mix and Mingle Playshop, I'll have several kits on hand so you can see what this is like and make a layout of your own. The cost is just $5 and you will get two page protectors and up to 25 design cards to mix and mingle with your own photos. This will make 4 scrapbook pages.

If you LOVE it you can make more pages for an additional $5 per two page protectors and 25 cards.

All you need to bring is some copies of pictures (because we'll be cropping them)! If you don't have any pictures, we can just use my cardstock as placeholders until you decide what you want to put on the pages.

I'll supply the tools to share:
corner rounder
paper trimmer
journaling pens

 Themes to select from:

Avonlea

Babycakes

Balloon Ride

Chantilly

Later Skater

Laughing Lola

Skylark

Surf's Up

Always Wear Your Crown

I had a lot of fun making this layout of Danica. What a cute smiley baby she is! I used the Lollydoodle paper and embellishments.

November 22 - Thank You Card Workshop

On November 22, I'll be hosting a Thank You card workshop in my home starting at noon.

We'll be using the Pathfinding Cardmaking kit. The kit contains an exclusive stamp set that you can use over and over, 15 card bases and envelopes, an instructional brochure and all the paper and embellishments you need to complete 15 cards (5 each of 3 designs). The complete kit costs $25. If you don't want the entire kit, you can use my stamp set and pay just $1 per card for however many you'd like to make.

This is a great workshop to learn simple stamping, get familiar with the card making process and stock up on Thank You cards.

If you'd like to join us, please RSVP by November 8th so I can be sure to have enough supplies on hand.

If you can't join us on the 22nd, but would like to do this workshop, you can purchase the set on my website at:  www.scrapsweetie.ctmh.com

Look Whoo's 3 Pop Up Card

I got to go to a little girl's birthday party today so I made this card. I used the 'look who's here' from Artbooking and cut off the 'here'. I also cut the two owls from the same keys. The papers are left over scraps from Lucy paper and rub ons. The '3' is a dimensional element covered in paper.
