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!

Thank you for hopping here from Melissa's Blog, I love what she created with the NEW "Cruisin" Kit!

The new workshop on the go kit that caught my eye first was the "Stella" Kit. I love the colors in it! I paired the Stella papers with the Canvas Complements that coordinate to create this special layout.

Layout using Stella Paper and Canvas Complements

Canvas Stick-ease. Groupings in numbers of 3 are aesthetically pleasing, so I chose 3 circle shapes from the canvas stickers and placed them vertically along the side of my page.

This sentiment from the canvas complements was perfect for this family event of celebrating a birthday.

This NEW Idea Book is a very exciting one! I am very excited about the new paper packs, fresh ideas, and brand new products. I have a fabulous wishlist of items I can't wait to try! Springs, baker's twine, studs, peeps, dinosaurs... :) Can't wait to hear what things you are most excited about.

Now hop over to Lalia's Blog and see the Amazing wall-hanging she created with the NEW paper pack "Florentine".

First 7 Days Layout

I created these scrap book pages to feature the details from my Son's first week in the world.

I took notes about his first bath, his hospital visitors, when we went home, the price of gas, the weather, etc. I am going to write the information in by hand so that it is in my hand writing. Each spot that is indicated by "3x3" is where I will put a photo for each day.

Tuesday Trigger Inspiration Photo

I was inspired for my layout and color choices by the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger. Let me know if you see the resemblance or not. :)
