Seaside Double Layout Workshop

I have an upcoming Seaside Double Layout Workshop coming up on the 17th of August at my home for my local scrappers to attend.  Details are posted on my Facebook Event page here:  https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/661206767301894/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming If you aren't local or can't attend this workshop, but would like to have this kit to create on your own, please contact me at my email:  lori.allen94@yahoo.com.  I can send you this workshop kit for $25 plus s&h that will have all of the paper pre-cut, complements, and embellishments that you will need to create both of these layouts along with a photo guide and layout instructions. 

 

The above layouts aren't finished, they just need the complements and embellishments, but already look great with the new Seaside paper pack. 

**********************Consultants***********************
I have created template/cutting guide e-files for this workshop for CTMH Consultants to use for their business. 

This workshop will create (2) layouts with plenty of paper left over for the customers to create more layouts or cards.  
Your files will include:

Annual Inspirations Blog Hop Artwork

Here is some great new artwork using Pathfinding Paper.  This is one of the Pathfinding Paper Pack in CTMH's Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  This paper pack is perfect for all of your fall pictures and more. 

1.  I used CTMH's new Chevron punch along with brown & tan glitter paper to create the embellishment on the leftside of my layout. I backed this embellishment with the new Glacier card stock.

2.  I used some of CTMH's Liquid Glass to give the 'hearts' on the 'Give Thanks' a shiny effect. 
3.  I used 3D foam tape to pop-up the Pathfinding Compliments (Give Thanks, squirel, fox, and owl) and layered a bunch of leaves that I created using CTMH's Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  I sponge the edges of my leaves to give them depth.  I think they look like the real thing. 

As always I take too many photos.  That is why I love using CTMH's flip flaps. 

1. On page 2 of my layout I used 2 - 4X4's adding 4 additional photos. 

2.  I also added a 6X12 flip flap to the right side of page 2 on my layout adding 4 extra photos.  This is the open view of my layout with the flip flaps. 

Here is a close up of one of the Pathfinding Complements, the little fox.  Isn't he cute.  I had to include him on this layout.  You can see the leaves up close as well as the Pathfinding Assortment button that I layered with some bling as well.

 

I hope this layout inspired you to create something wonderful with your pictures.

 

Now Hop over and see some great artwork from the new Annual Inspirations Idea Book.

One of my newest team members, Angela has been creating some really great layouts.  Below is her first layout using CTMH flip flaps.  I really love how the Skylark paper brings out the pictures on her layout.

Angela used CTMH's spray pen to mist the edges with Lagoon re-inker.  This creates such a pretty effect and looks great on this layout!  Angela also incorporated some of CTMH's Picture My Life cards from the Skylark collection on her layout (bottom right side of her layout).

Angela is excited to get her new consultant kit.  She has been getting her photos printed and ready to start her next layout. 

 

Till next time,
Happy Scrapbooking!

Featured Artist

Well this is a first for me.  I thought it would be fun to feature some of my customers/friends artwork on my blog. 

My first Featured Artist is my newest customer Angela.  I met her at work and next thing you know we are colaborating on all sorts of craft projects at work and at home.  I introduced her to the joy of scrapbooking and she hosted her first CTMH party with me a few months ago.  Angela loves all of her new products and has dived into starting her first scrapbook. 

Her first project she used a great shadow box she picked up at a yard sale for just $10!  What a deal for her.  She used her new CTMH Lollydoodle Workshop on the go to create a beautiful shadow box of her daughters birth. 

Angela used several techniques she learned at a card workshop at my home like the rosettes that she created using the CTMH quilling tool along with the CTMH Cricut Artiste cartridge.  She also used her CTMH Cricut Artbooking cartridge to add dimension to her shadow box with the pretty overlays.  Look how great the new CTMH Flamingo dots look on her project along with the pretty pink shimmer paper.

I hope this showed you another great way to feature memorabila along with great photos in a different way.  This shadow box looks really great in her hallway.  What a wonder keepsake she has created for her daughter.

Check back later.  I will feature more artwork soon.

Till then Happy Scrappin`,
