Celebrating!

Last Sunday was my friend Barb's birthday. Monday was the Family Binder Album workshop, so not only did all of us create this beautiful album we celebrated Barb's birthday with a cake. Happy Birthday Barb! 2 fun things in one night ~ stamping and cake!

Everyday Celebration Card Kit

What a great time I had creating the cards from the Everyday Celebration Card Kit! The kit has enough supplies for 16 cards (2 each of 8 designs). When I finished the 8 different cards, I re-created the cards with 2 different pieces of Background and Texture paper. The cards look so different, so enjoy the kit and then following the full directions you can continue to play! Call or email me to place your order for this special. See the post of August 18th for more details or click on the link at the side of this page which will bring you right to my website.

Back Country Layouts

Our scrapbooking workshop this week was so much fun! I loved working with the Back Country Level 2 paper pack along with the Dimensional Elements. These are my 2 layouts with pictures and titles. The Full of Wonder layout still needs to have the journaling added. The title on the Gaylord layout uses the new alphabet stamp set E1014 Posterboard. I also added some left over ribbon to the pages.

I would love to see your layouts after you add your pictures, title and journaling.

Next month we will be working with a brand new Level 2 paper pack - Twitterpatted. You can view the new Idea book on my website on September 1st, and you can pick up a copy at my OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATION on Sept. 2nd. For more information on the open house, check out the calendar section of my website.
