'Workshop on the Go' September Layout

Here's a sneak peek of the September Club layout. We are going to be working with the 'Emporium' paper and Stickease, Connections & Boutique Borders stamp set, and pewter Designer Brads...I've added ink and paper edge distressing as well as some machine stiching. I tried working a little with the Sweet Leaf ink and the rubber brayer...first time for me on that technique. The 'Workshop on the Go' Guide has us using this brayer technique around the four sides of each of the 12x12 cardstock, but after trying it out, I wasn't liking it so I opted to run one of the borders in the Boutique Borders stamp set instead. I used the Rock ad Roll effect with the Sweet Leaf and Cocoa inks and liked it more. I did do the rubber brayer Sweet Leaf ink technique on the accent patterned paper piece on the left side of the layout, I liked it there! It might have been a little too stark against the Antique White cardstock...I'll have to get some feedback come Club night from some of the ladies. I'll update the photos once I finish off the layout with journalling and pictures.

Getting ready to Rumble!


This is the beginning of Summer-Ball for us! I have to admit that as much as we are extremely busy when it starts...I really enjoy being outdoors (fair weather permitting) and watching Baseball. Matthew really enjoys sitting here at my desk and looking through all of the hundreds of pictures too! I am looking forward to working with these summer-ball pictures. I have stocked up with some CTMH 'Game On' paper as well as some WE R Memory Keepers 'MVP' paper, time to get busy. With the past two days of rain and cooler weather, I don't feel guilty staying holed up in my workshop. Whatever works for productivity...

June 'Preview' Workshop




Well it has certainly been a while but I've been busy! With school and the endless field trips that occur come year end...I have got two different workshops featuring Close to my Heart products on the go and I am very excited about them! We worked with the Moon Doggie paper pack on Monday night and I think they all turned out great! I really enjoyed this paper and the 'Extreme Happiness' stamp set was great to work with, I really think they look fantastic.
