Pemberley Workshop Preview! Part 2

I couldn't wait to dig into the Pemberley Workshop on the Go Kit and make a 2nd two page layout!

  

Navy Blue is such a popular color right now, so I was very excited to see what I could create based on that. Scrapbooking is a great way to cure the winter blues! (See what other crafters are creating to Cure their winter blues at the Moxie Fab World Blog).I used "Outdoor Denim" cardstock as the base then built upon it with the B&T Duo papers from Close to my Heart. I cut the paper flower from the patterned paper and used it as an accent in the middle of the photos on the 2nd page. I found a flower in the pattern that did not have any other leaves or petals overlapping on it so that it would look good standing alone. I also added some sponging in outdoor denim ink to the edges of the photo mats.

 

I found the inspiration for this layout on the blog "Let's Scrap!". This layout was in the gallery. I didn't know the exact measurements so I created my own interpretation. This layout will be home to one 5x7 and four 3 1/2 x 5 photos! My mom loves blue, so I think maybe some photos from Mother's Day or her Birthday would be appropriate for this layout.

Pemberley Workshop Preview!

The new Workshop on the go Kit named "Pemberley", from Close to my Heart's NEW Idea Book, is a favorite among my friends and customers. I am working on designs for both Scrapbook layouts AND Cards with this kit. I am so excited about how the first layout turned out that I wanted to share it as a preview!

I made a few adjustments to the recommended layout because I didn't want to use both sheets of the b&t duo papers as the base- I wanted to be able to use the other side of the paper on some different projects. So I used Colonial White as my base instead. I use 6" of the yellow print paper and aligned it to the bottom of the pages. I added the navy zip strip along the top of that and then the rest of the layout follows the original recommendations that come in the brochure with the kit.

Layered flowers: We will stamp on pre-cut flower shapes, then bend up the edges of the petals and layer them together before adding three tiny adhesive pearls to the center.

Title is cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. Let me know what title you need to have cut and I can prepare it for you before class!

I will update this post in the coming days to show you some of the other projects I am planning with this Pemberley kit. The workshop, which Rachael and Terry are hosting, is on March 24th. We are taking RSVPs until March 5th, at which point we will need to order supplies. Let me know if you would like to join us!

The NEW "Stella" Kit!

I have had a lot of fun creating with the "Stella" kit from the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book, which goes live on Feb. 1st! I really like the trendy color combinations and the grid pattern on the main layout. The stamp set that it comes with has some really cute sentiments on it too! Check out the layouts I created. I will be teaching these at a workshop on Feb 18th!

Stella's Featured Layout: Pictures= Qty 4: 3x4 V, Qty 4: 3x3, Qty 1: 2.5x3. 2 Cocoa bases, I will provide cricut cut  hearts and scallop shape for title. You will have access to my Token Alphabet to create titles.

Stella's Recommended Layout: Pictures= Qty 1: 8x10, Qty 3: 3x3. We will use the accessories pack that comes with the kit. You can also use my Token Alphabet and 1 1/4" circle punch to add a title to this page too.

"Hocus Pocus" (Pg 56 from the how to book "Magic") Pictures: Qty 1: 5x7 H. Qty 2: 4x6 H. Qty: 3: 2x2

"Lovely Assistant" (Pg 96 from the how to book "Magic") Pictures: Qty 1: 4x6 H, Qty 4: 3x4 V, Qty 1: 3x3. We will use my stamp set "Tailor Made" to add accents to the pages.

 When your kits arrive I will insert a cutting guide that will list all of the cuts we need to make to create these pages. We will be able to move through all of the pages if you are able to make your cuts before class. A tip from one of my customers is to pile up all of the cuts that go to a certain page and sandwich them in a piece of folded scrap paper. That way you are not scrambling through a stack of paper while we work. Please get a hold of me if you have any questions about cutting your papers.

Remember that I will need to place our supply order on Feb 1st or 2nd so that we will be sure to have our kits in time. Please email me with your RSVP order.

"Farm Princess", Dreamin' Kit Layout

I am so excited to have dug into my "Dreamin'" Kit! I LOVE the Autumn colors in this kit, and playing with the sparkly over-sized brads and the glitz gel is so much fun! I found some photos from last year of my daughter and I knew right away they would be perfect for the colors on these papers. Then I spotted a layout pattern in Studio J that I knew I wanted to try and recreate in paper.

I found the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for Close to my Heart Consultants. This week is "tell a story in your journaling on a scrapbook page". So, since I was going to title this layout "Farm Princess" I decided to tell the story in a "Once upon a time" style. I think it turned out pretty cute! Visit the challenge to see what stories others have journaled in their scrap-booking!
