One final Sampler in our year long series

I have had so much fun creating a seasonal sampler for each month of this past year.  Our final workshop will be in September but the products must be ordered by August 30th as they will retire at the end of August.  Don't wait to contact me if you would like to create this sampler.  Of course, if you cannot make the workshop, you are welcome to order the kit to go and I will email you the instructions.

Hello Sk8r

This spring, Close to My Heart debuted their line of textiles that coordinate with the Chantilly and For Always paper packs.  I love that Karen combined the Chantilly fabric with the Later Sk8r paper for a nice “Hello”.  The new Chevron ribbon goes with several of the spring/summer paper packets including Tommy, Claire and Later Sk8r. 

First Friday Drawing & All BOY

Time to look for the number on the back of your idea book and see if you are the winner of $20 in Close to My Heart product.

And the winner is

If your idea book has the number 38 on it, contact me by Sunday at 9 p.m. to claim your prize!

I was blessed with two girls but I know a few nephews that fit the title “all BOY”.  Looking forward to filling the photo on this layout done in Later Sk8r paper and the Fast and Furious stamp set.

Happy Birthday Sk8r

Paper quilted square and ribbon from the Chantilly Textile collection make a masculine paper packet into a feminine birthday card.  The Happy Birthday is from the Perfect Fit Birthday stamp set. 

Sk8r Celebration

The card was created my second upline, Karen Morris.  The pennant style cuts of the blues and greens of Later Sk8r create a wonderful birthday card for anyone!

The stamp set is from “Perfect Birthday” and goes well the with Perfect Fit frames 1 & 2.

The bright pear green and lagoon blue draw me to the Later Sk8ter paper packet.  I will be hosting a workshop creating these three layouts on March 1st at the school day crop from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Don’t forget to RSVP and order your products by Feb 20th if you plan to attend.  You can see the supply list here. 

As you may notice, these layouts are still in progress.  The one above needs the team photo which is currently on display in the daughter’s bedroom.  I will also be adding some journaling and stamped soccer images. 

Love this little niece of mine.  The page is waiting for the Stickease and embellishments.  Still fun and cute.

And this page, imagine the upper white area full of gear images.  Yes, I am going to use my scraps and the Artiste Cartridge to cut a group of gears out and decorate the title area.  Not sure which photos will go on this page but as you can see, it is open for lots of different themes. 

Introducing…Later Sk8r

We have a new idea book for Spring/Summer and this means seven new paper packets with embellishments galore to coordinate with them.  I am starting with “Later Sk8tr” because that is the paper packet we will be creating with at the next Scrapbook Workshop on March 1st.  If you want to join us, purchase the paper packet and your coordinating products either on my website or by contacting me. 

I love the lagoon blue with the gray and outdoor denim.  Looks pretty “boyish” here doesn’t it!  But I am up for the challenge and will be scrapbooking my daughter’s soccer season (their uniforms were teal and the grass is green…goes perfect with the paper) and my niece's fall walk with grandma. 

Stamp sets that coordinate include:

• D1541 Fast and Furious (trucks and card and all the sounds that can go with them)
• B1415 In Gear ( gear shapes have matching Cricut cuts on Artiste)
• G1057 Later Sk8r Workshop on the Go (includes an exclusive stamp set with background textures, skate boarder and shoe tracks)
• D1517 Game On (sports set with soccer, football, baseball, and basketball in the same style as the paper)

Embellishments that can’t be missed:

• Z1810 Later Sk8r Assortment (adhesive backed rubber shapes of stars and gears and more)
• Z1806 Green & Blue Epoxy bubbles (also self adhesive!)
• X7167c Later Sk8r Stickease Assortment

And these papers are not just for scrapbook pages.  Take a look at some wonderful artwork created by Brenda Rose using these papers.  Here and here.

Watch for my artwork in future posts.  Gnarly!
