November Workshop - December Daily

I have been wanting to create a December Daily Book for a while and now that Close To My Heart came out with the new My Crush Holiday Happenings Line, I couldn't wait to make my first book! This is a great project to make before December to document your family's holiday tradition. Think about what you do to celebrate the season - Baking cookies, Holiday Lights, Holiday Cards, Tree Lighting, Parties, etc. This is a great book to capture those memories!

In this project I used the 4x6 and the 3x4 Flip Flaps to add more space to add photos. I also used the Holiday Happenings Badge Buttons, Assortments and My Crush Book.

I will be teaching this class on the following date:

• Friday, November 21 at 7:00pm - RSVP and payment due by Sun, Nov 9

Please email me at arlene_amo@hotmail.com to reserve your spot and which option you would like to go with. If you cannot make it but would still like to do the workshop, please contact me to schedule a different date to do this workshop.

November Workshop - Pathfinding Paper Pack

Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year and I loved playing with the Pathfinding paper pack to highlight this season. Every year we go pumpkin picking and I thought this paper would go great with our quest for the perfect pumpkin! On the first layout I changed it a bit so that the photos would be larger and I added the small assortment flip flaps so that i can add more photos to the layout. For the 2nd layout, I used the paper pack to highlight my favorite photos from Thanksgiving 2011. Again I added the Mini Flip Flaps so that I can add more photos. 

I will be teaching this workshop on the following date:

• Thursday, November 6 at 7:00pm - RSVP and payment due by Thurs, Oct 23

Please email me at arlene_amo@hotmail.com to reserve your spot and which option you would like to go with. If you cannot make it but would still like to do the workshop, please contact me to schedule a different date to do this workshop.

October Workshop - Scaredy Cat

I just totally love the Scaredy Cat paper pack. It has to be on one of my favorite papers in the new idea book. There was no Workshop on the Go kit for this paper pack, so I had to improvise and use my creative thinking to come out with these layouts. I hope you like them! For the second layout I used our new Triangle Border Punch. It was so easy and I know you will love using this new tool in our layout. In the 2nd layout I used the Black Striped Twill ribbon. We used this in the Chalk It Up layout. So if you have it already, you do not need to purchase it. I added this as optional in the shopping list below.

I will be teaching this class on the following date:

• Thursday, October 9 at 7:00pm - RSVP and payment due by Mon, Sept 22

Please email me at arlene_amo@hotmail.com to reserve your spot and which option you would like to go with. If you cannot make it but would still like to do the workshop, please contact me to schedule a different date to do this workshop.
