April Scrap Club Layouts

Here’s what we’ll be creating at Scrap Club on Friday, April 22nd at 6:30 p.m. Layout #1 – “Live Today” Layout #2 – “Enjoy Life” This layout is based on the weekly sketch challenge at Sketchy Thursday’s (see previous post). Here are some closer pictures of the two individual pages. I love this paper pack…

Sketchy Thursday Sketch Challenge

I needed to create a layout for my scrap club and was looking for inspiration when I came a sketch on Sketchy Thursdays Blog.  The sketch was actually for a single page layout…but I personally love two page layouts, so I essentially imagined stretching the 12×12 sketch into a 12 x 24 layout.  I just…

Monthly Scrap Club Resheduled

The Scrap Club for March had to be cancelled due to the fact that my daughter tested positive for strep throat the same day as club.  Two days later she tested positive for the flu, too. 😦  I’ve rescheduled this workshop for Sunday, April 10 at 4 p.m.   If you had planned on attending on…

Look at what one Level 2 kit made…

Okay…well, I did use maybe three or four additional pieces of cardstock, but considering I have more than that in B&T (pattern) paper still left…I figure I broke even. LOL  By the way, the Level 2 kit I used is CTMH’s newest My Reflections Scrapbook Kit called “Wings”.  Oh so pretty!  Unfortunately, it’s not available…

December's Scrap Club Layouts

There were two Workshops-on-the-Go (from this quarter’s Idea Book) that my Scrap Club ladies preferred not to do, so they requested that I create a couple of layouts using older paper packs.  Last month, we used Grace (with a little Silhouette) and this month we used “You Rock“.  Since I just became a Close To…

Play Date Cafe Challenge & Let's Scrap Sketch

I think this is the first time I’ve ever played along with this challenge and it was a challenge.  Limiting a scrapbook layout to just three colors, one of which was white, wasn’t easy.  However, I’m really pleased with how it came out. Here’s a layout that I made using the 11-3 sketch from Let’s Scrap….

Saturday's Scrap Club Creations

Scrap Club just wrapped up a few hours ago.  Everyone was pleased with the projects using the Olivia Workshop-on-the-Go.  They also enjoyed learning some new techniques, especially the faux stitching.  The first time I remember seeing faux stitching was on Tresa Black’s UStream Channel (also on her blog, Fabulously Artsy).  I don’t own a sewing machine and…
