Ariana Scrapbook Workshop On The Go and Complements

I held an Ariana Scrapbook Workshop at my house yesterday! It was so much fun! We got 4 different 2 page layouts finished using the Ariana Workshop On The Go Kit. Here is what we worked on.

Layout #1 was scrap-lifted (with permission) from my friend Casandra Bennett! I changed it just a little to use the Ariana Complements. Casandra does amazing artwork! You must follow her blog. scrappinbliss, to see what she makes. She has won many blog challenges and artwork mentions out there in the blog-o-sphere. Thank you Casandra for inspiring me and letting me use your beautiful design in my class and for my daughters 6th birthday!

We used the Marquee Alphabet to create the "Celebrate" title! Tip: When stamping your letters don't forget you need THREE "E"s! :)

Layout #2 is pretty and blue! I used pattern #06 from Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.

Added some stamping with the sentiments from the kit's exclusive stamp set and a Dimensional Element journal piece. Oh, and some cute epoxy bubbles!

Layout #3 also uses Make It From Your Heart Volume 1, but is pattern #03. This was a fun one! I changed it a little by tilting the photo mats on the RH page.

I loved this stamp from the kit! I scattered some epoxy bubbles near it using the tip to think of triangles when placing sparkles.

Layout #4 is pattern #05 from MIFYH V1. A quick and easy pattern to work with! Just use your squares to measure spacing when placing on your base.

I made my camera lense look "glassy" using my liquid glass! Just make sure you let it dry overnight! I love how the black epoxy bubbles look against the dark Ariana Grey Cardstock!

What do you think of my Ariana layouts? What pages did you make with your papers?

Scholastic Scrapbook Class Preview!

TaDa! I am so excited to show off the Scholastic Scrapbook pages that I designed with the Workshop on the Go Kit from Close to my Heart! This is one of my favorite kits from the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book! (Blame my inner nerd that always loved school!) Perfect for back to school (or the class photos you are getting back now), bookworms, readers, Librarians, boys or girls!

I have designed 4 fun 2 page layouts for us to create! You will have the chance to use some of my inks and stamp sets at class if you like. (Some designs use stamp sets not included in the kit)

The Scholastic Scrapbook Class will be held on December 29th. A perfect chance to relax after the Holidays! You will go home with 8 pages ready for photos!

Please RSVP and order your supplies by December 14th. This is the last date to order by to be sure our items will arrive ahead of time. I like you to have time to trim your papers before class so that we have more time for stamping and crafting during class. I will provide a cutting guide for you.

***NOTE: The Scholastic supplies were recently listed as "retiring" which means once what is in stock is sold, it is gone and not re-stocked. If you LOVE this kit you might want to order sooner then the suggested RSVP date. Keep in mind if you order online you will have access to the newly stocked "while supplies last" clearance section as well!

I hope you can join us! Watch for future posts featuring each layout in more detail! Please contact me if you have any questions.
