Mayberry Workshop on the Go

I can't believe that it is almost August!  Where does the time go?  Not to mention, I didn't post ONE post last week, how did that happen?!?  Well today's post should make up for that!

I got together with some of my scrappy friends last night and I wanted to share with you one of the layouts that I created.  So, CTMH has a product called, Workshops on the Go.  These kits are fabulous! Included in the kit you receive; a L2 paper pack, an exclusive stamp set, coordinating embellishments, and an instructional brochure. 

Included in the WOTG & some of the artwork you can create following instructions included!

One thing that I love about the WOTG kits is that it gives you a starting point.  I always like to add my own twist to things and am not always so good at following directions.  So I take the WOTG, use it as a guide and add a little "Sarah" twist to it!  I had so much fun creating this layout using the Mayberry WOTG, I definitely can say one reason it was so fun was the event that I was scrapping!  Berry picking with the sweetest girls I know!  Not sure who had more fun; the Momma's or the Babes!

Right Side of the layout, stay tuned for the flip flap surprise! All photos were taken by Kelly Meyers Photography.

With the WOTG, the instructions show you how to create a two-page layout.  I created the two-page layout (with some minor changes) and then I cut the right side layout in half, making it two 6 x 12 pieces.  Next, I added one of my FAVORITE products, Flip Flaps, to expand my layout from two pages to four!  Flip Flaps are great for photo overload or even for hiding journaling or photos you want included in your layout but not as a focal point.

Flip Flap on right side of page open, that blank spot on top is patiently waiting for my journaling!

Full layout underneath the Flip Flaps, you can see a portion of the Flip Flaps on either side of the layout.

Now all I have left to finish is the journaling, I do need to get better at that! But when I'm at a crop it is easier for me to focus on my layouts and add the journaling, later...


If you can't wait to get your hands on any of the products seen here, hop on over to my website!  Just a side note, all of the WOTG's that are featured on my shopping site, are only available for purchase until July 31st.  So, grab them before they are GONE!
 
Happy Scrapping!

Ring in the New Year Crop

This blog post is going to be short but sweet!  I should be cleaning the house but this is much more fun! As I want to update you all on what a fun time we had croppin' on Saturday - all while the baby is napping...which could be for 5 minutes or 2 hours!!  Like Auntie Nic says, "She's the BOSS of the house!"  Anyway, it took me a few extra minutes to get my hands on my camera that I safely packed away in the wee hours on Sunday morning and to download the pics!  What a great time with such fun scrapbook friends!  We had a great set up where everyone got their own table with plenty of space to spread out and that we did!  Between all of us we could have opened shop!  We were armed with lots of supplies, good conversation, and of course tons of food!  I also have a few pics to share of some of the pages I completed.  I finally got to create a page using the 6 x 12 flip flaps, they are so cool!  I was able to turn a 2 page layout into a 4 page layout!!  Check it out below and pop onto my website if you want some of your very own!  I also got to share how to make the super cool paper roses that I learned from watching Tracey Mason (which you can watch here...she is awesome by the way...I don't know her (yet) but I blog "stalk" her!  She is sooo talented and her blog is way funny!!)  I also got to play around with the new spray pen (pics to come on a blog later today or tomorrow!!)

This is the same layout with the bottom flip flap open.
