Pemberley Layouts Continued


Here are some more layouts I did with the Pemberley paper pack. Of course I had to add a few pages for backgrounds, but it was worth it. I absolutely LOVE the Pemberley line!

"Only You"


 


"Baby Boy"

 


"Sarah & Eric"
 
 
 



Let me know if you need any measurements for these :)

How To Books are being Discontinued



It's true and the entire community of Close to My Heart consultants are in a frenzy about it!
If you are like me, then you want all of them as they are invaluable tools of inspiration and guidance when you get those scrapper's blocks (similar to writer's block...). These books can help the most advanced scrapbooker and cardmaker all the way to the most inexperienced scrapbookers and cardmakers!

They have pictures, full cutting guides and instructions on how to assemble layout after layout (or card after card).

And I can't even believe that they are being discontinued already! I haven't had a chance to get them all yet!

If you don't know much about them, here is a quick summary of what I know.

Scrapbooking Programs:
Cherish: Very first book of double page layouts.
Imagine: Full of different double page layouts.
Magic: Latest double page layouts with interactive features for pages.
Reflections: One page layouts that suggest a page to pair it with. THIS ONE IS ALREADY SOLD OUT AND NOT AVAILABLE!

Cardmaking Programs
Originals Card Confidence Program: THIS ONE IS ALREADY SOLD OUT AND NOT AVAILABLE!
Wishes Card Confidence Program: Latest Card book, still available last I checked.

To see and learn more about these books, click HERE or on the photo below.


HURRY!
These are selling out quickly, so quick in fact that I myself was not able to get the first two that are already gone!

I will be placing an order in the next day or two, so contact me (robyn.ctmh (at) gmail.com) as soon as possible to purchase yours today. You will not regret buying even just one of these books, they are that good!

Pemberley Workshop on the Go

I actually finished these a while ago but I have been slacking in the photo editing arena of life!
Below is the first Pemberley Workshop on the Go layout followed by some detail shots.


Here is the second layout followed by some detailed shots.





 And finally, here is a simple shot of a layout I did with the My Stickease stickers. (Truth be told, I copied this layout straight outta the Idea Book!)

March Stamp of the Month!

This is probably my favorite stamp of the month set out of this current catalog! It's super versatile and very cute.

I've only just ordered my Stamp of the Month, so I'm a little behind. However, I wanted to show it to you anyways, and when I get mine, I'll get some photos up then.





If you'd like to see some artwork done with this set of stamps, there is a blog hop of 50 or more different people who have used this stamp set. You can start with Kristine's blog and then follow the link from her page to another, from there to another etc.

Sonoma Workshop on the Go

Finally, they are finished! I've been busy so these took longer than they should have.
Hope you like them!

Stella Workshop on the Go Artwork

Alright, so here is my rendition of the Stella Workshop on the Go kit.

I had a lot of fun because for once, I could just follow some simple directions and not have to think too hard to complete some really awesome looking layouts. Even my husband is impressed. He complimented me on my layouts!

Honestly, I wasn't too thrilled about this kit at first, but when I found photos to coordinate with it, and now that I'm finished, I am feeling as though this is my favourite of all the kits in this current idea book! What a change of heart on my part!



Hmm, I'm noticing a trend that Landon seems to appear on a large majority of my layouts, I wonder why that is!

Challenge: Actually get your Scrapbooking DONE!

I will admit, I am a hoarder!

But only with scrapbooking material thankfully (ok maybe with tupperware and organizational products too). I love to see all my scrapbook materials nicely organized and stored, and I enjoy re-organizing it too. But let's face it, that is not why I buy it! I do actually have intentions of getting something done with all that paper, glitter, embossing powder, stamps etc!

So if you are anything like me and need some structure and commitment to actually get some scrapbooking done, then I have a solution!

Workshops on the Go Club

Close to My Heart has created 8 Workshops on the Go kits that anyone can purchase and use however they'd like. The kit includes the following:
  • 14 sheets of paper 
    • including 6 - 12"x12" B&T Duos (2 of each 3 double sided designs)
    • and 8 - 12"x12" solid colour cardstock sheets)
  • set of stamps (exclusive to the kit)
  • 2 different sets of embellishments
  • instructional brochure (detailed instructions including measurements and cutting guides)
The kit promises that 2 full double page layouts (4 12"x12" pages total) can be made with the materials, plus if you add an extra or two, you can make the bonus project which is usually a set of 5 cards. I have been working on the Stella Workshop on the Go kit and I've made the 2 layouts they outline, and I kept going and I'm onto my 5th double page layout. The only things I've had to add have been some cardstock for backgrounds plus a single pack of extra embellishments (but I didn't have to, I just happened to have them). See my photo below of one of the extra layouts I made with this kit.

I have decided to run a club type format to have a commitment from a group of 6 or more ladies (men are welcome too...but at this point I don't know any who scrapbook) for 6 or more months.

I have outlined how they will look here.

But basically, we'll meet once a month, each club member will purchase a kit for $29.95 for each month and we'll work on them together with a goal of finishing them completely on the night of the club. This way, you are actually using what you buy, and getting your photos into beautiful scrapbook albums!

**There are a few options to deviate from this if you do not like the entire kit chosen for that month, or if you do not want the stamps that are in the kit. Check out my entire page dedicated to Workshops On the Go.

And seriously, let's actually get something accomplished with our photos this year!

Here's my photo of an extra layout I made with the Stella kit.
