Consistent Scrapbooking is the key to keeping up!

The key to keeping up with your scrapbook pages is to sit down regularly and do them.

 Is your scrapbook on the list of your new year’s resolutions?

• Is this something you already love or would like to learn how to do but you don’t ever seem to find the time?
• Would you like learn more scrapbooking techniques and do your pages in a fun setting?

Then try a scrapbook club. It is an easy way and fun time to sit down with other scrapbookers (young and old, new and experienced) once a month and finish two double page layouts. Here are some examples of pages we did last year:

Aren’t these three layouts great? Are you interested? My scrapbookers pay $40 at the beginning of the club to purchase their materials. They get to pick which Designer Series Paper or which Simply Scrappin’ Kit they like, I pick the remaining paper and embellishments to complement their selection.

Then we meet once a month for the next 5 months and pay a flat fee (based on class size, I offer single sessions for $20, two person sessions for $15/person and 3 or 4 person session for $10/person) where everyone creates their scrapbook pages following my layouts. Best of all, I offer morning, afternoon and evening sessions (each last about 1.5 to 2 hours). So you can come while your kiddos are at preschool or when Dad is home to watch them in the evening. In five months, you finish ten double page layouts (we work with 12 by 12 scrapbook pages, other sizes are available on request).

 Additional benefits include:

• Learn techniques that you can apply to all your paper crafting, like rainbow embossing or faux tearing (those are up for January and February).
• Try new color combinations that might push you out of your comfort zone to give your pages some extra pep.
• Have access to all my supplies. Do you want to do flowers instead of snowflakes? No problem.
• Use my layouts as your foundation but then add extra embellishments or change things up.
• Bring your pictures to the session or add them later.
• Do you have a group of friends with whom you’d like to do this? Then book me as your creative coach for the whole group.

Interested? Then send me an email today or call me at 305-5207 because we are ready to start in January! Would you like to do a virtual scrapbook club? Email me or leave a comment to this post. If there is enough interest, I’d be happy to put one together.

Meet my Scrapbook Club!

Meet my fabulous scrapbookers!

We meet once a month on Tuesday mornings and have a GREAT time creating two two-page layouts.

When we started, each one of us picked a set of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then I picked out all the matching paper, ribbon and other accessories. Does that make scrapbooking easy?

From the left:

Lindsey, Beth, Mona, Joyce
and on the other side of the table are

Kimberly and Cheryl. The only one missing is Audrey. She moved to Texas and we'll be finishing her pages for her. So, she is still a member of our gang.

This is one of the two layouts we made this week.

My DSP is Kaleidsocope and I matched it with Rich Razzleberry CS. What really pops up the pages is the White Gel Pen we used for the "stitching effect."

Cheryl also uses Kaleidoscope and mixed it with Green Galore and Ballet Blue. Aren't her flowers great where she used Night of Navy card stock with the Green Galore.

Joyce picked Cottage Wall and her additional colors are Rich Razzleberry, Lavender Lace and Always Artichoke.

Kimberly is the third in the group to use Kaleidoscope DSP and her other colors are Appricot Appeal (I will so miss this color), Gable Green and Pixie Pink. She spaced the pictures on the right side a bit differently to show off the beautiful peacock in the DSP.

Lindsey uses "To the Nines" DSP with Chocolate Chip and Natural Ivory card stock. Lindsey chose to not do the two page spread but she did the left side twice to use as the first page in the scrapbooks for each of her boys.

Mona uses Nouveau Chic DSP which combines beautifully with Appricot Appeal and Basic Black. The White Gel Pen looks particularly good on the black!!! It really makes the page.

And Beth, she uses Autumn Traditions DSP and I am not sure why I don't have a picture of her page. I was sure that I had taken one but I must not have. Sorry, Beth!
