FEBRUARY SCRAPBOOK WORKSHOP/CLASS

These are the tw0 pages that everyone who attends one of my Workshops in February will be making the night of the workshop. Everything is supplied, except you will need to bring your favorite adhesive and scissors.

This flower was made using the Affection c1441 stamp set, Baby Pink z2102, Tulip z2166 and Pear z2197 stamp pads, the NEW 2" Scallop Circle Punch z1392, and a red Sparkle from the Red Pink & Purple Assortment z1326.

These hearts...along with the heart hanging from the stem of the flower...are from the "A Love" stamp set a1103. I used a tulip stamp pad to stamp the hearts. I added Prisma Glitter z134 to one of the hearts and tied a sheer pink ribbon around it.

The black square is not only a mat for a photo, but is open at the top forming a pocket. More photos and/or journaling can be added to the pocket. The edge of the black mat was distressed using an Edge Distresser z1297.

The hearts were stamped using the Rock & Roll technique.

These are the Sweetheart Level 1 4 pre-made/printed pages that are included in this workshop.

In this workshop you will get the 2 pages you will make the night of the workshop, 4 pre-made/printed pages, two 12"x6" sheets of cardstock stickers, 1 sheet of Cotton Candy cardstock, one 12"x12" sheet of pink polka dot paper, and some misc. pieces of black cardstock. The workshop is $20. Contact me to attend or schedule a workshop for you and your friends. You can recieve this workshop by mail for $20 + shipping.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!

I made this Valentine's Day card for my Sweetheart. We will be married 31 years in a few months.

I used paper from the Silhouette Level 2 Paper Pack (retired), Holiday Red cardstock, Childhood Portrait stamp set D1373, the sentiment is from a past Valentine's stamp set, a heart shaped brad, and ribbon. I used Glue Dots 1772 to attach the ribbon to the card. Glue Dots are one of my favorite products. They are a strong adhesive and will adhere ribbon and other embellishments instantly...no waiting for it to dry.

MAKE BEAUTIFUL TAGS FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK LAYOUTS

Add a tag as a decorative element to any scrapbook page. Put the tags in pockets on your layout or just add them to the design of the page with a greeting stamped on them.

Use the back of the tag for journaling or pictures.


First, I cut a tag from Colonial White cardstock. Next, I stamped the tree branch from the "Aspiration" stamp set using Black ink. Then, I spray misted the tag with 3 colors. I stamped the flower from the "Aspiration" stamp set...cut it out...and attached it to the tag. Last, I added an eyelet and ribbon to the hole I punched at the top of the card.

I MADE A SNOWMAN

I love when it snows! Maybe, I wouldn't love ti so much, if I lived somewhere that it snowed all the time. I had so much fun making this snowman. It's not made with snow, but it's still a snowman! Thanks for looking!

I painted the clay pot blue and painted snowflakes. I added a coat of clear varnish with glitter.

I love the snow made from frosted glass on the greenery!

I used a stamp from the "Adorable Backgrounds" stamp set and Chocolate stamp pad for the swirl print on the light pink paper. Adorable Backgrounds is one of my favorite and most used stamps. You can see the entire stamp set here: Adorable Backgrounds

I used the Versa Mark ink pad to stamp the butterfly onto "Blush" cardstock and embossed it with the Cocoa Embossing Powder.
