The layout from my July Memory Keeping Workshop held in Hawkes Bay with the Crafting in Bay Group.

I've used the Deckled Circle Dies to cut out various sized circles from the gorgeous Country Woods patterned paper. (The Country Woods Designer Series Paper is one of the DSPs on sale this Month). These were placed on the 12x12 Basic White cardstock and on several of the pocket page inserts.

The DSP has several colours which makes it very versatile. I've used Night of Navy, Basic Beige and Pool Party cardstock as either filler card in the pockets or as co-ordinating diecuts. I've used Early Espresso as the mats that photos will be placed on.

Now, if you think those Early Espresso photo mats look a little crooked on the 12x12 layout - you'd be right! They weren't stuck down as attendees had several photo layout options to choose from. In addition to the "Beach: theme - they could also choose a from a couple of other theme options - "Tools" or "Ferns".  

You can see these alternative themes and photo layouts in the image below.

Patterned paper is a favourite for most crafters - it's definitely one of mine! Get 15% off selected Designer Series Papers until the end of August.

Following the closure of Close to My Heart earlier in the year, Stampin' Up! purchased some of their lines and also provided a way for CTMH Makers to join Stampin' Up! as demonstrators. 

As the products were limited, up until now, only previous CTMH customers and Makers have been available to purchase these products.

Great news!

Starting yesterday, all demonstrators and customers who are based in the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), and the South Pacific are able to purchase available CTMH products. (These locations were where CTMH operated.)

You can see what is available in this line by clicking the button below.

Remember - products are limited  and only available while supplies last. 

But what is really exciting - Stampin' Up! are working - at speed - to add a line of Scrapbooking products to our offering! I can't wait to see what is included in this new line of products.
 

Come along to a day dedicated to Memory Keeping & Paper Crafting

General:

You will have the space and opportunity to work on your own Memory Keeping or other paper crafting projects (eg. cardmaking) that you wish to do. Stay for the day (~10am - 4pm depending on venue) or just for part of the day if you prefer.

Bring your basic crafting kit and whatever projects you wish to work on.

Please bring your own lunch and snacks.

Make'n'Take: 

The day starts with a Scrapbooking Make'n'Take.

You will receive supplies to make two co-ordinating scrapbook pages.

You can use these supplies to create the demonstrated pages - or you are free to use them in any of your own projects.

Booking and Pre-payment required.

Numbers are limited and preparation is required, so pre-booking and pre-payment is required by the Wednesday prior to the workshop.

I will again have a CreativeJax stand at this fun event.

We've done some reno's at our place and as a result I've had a good clear out my craft space! So I have plenty of retired goodies available for sale at bargain prices.

These days I'm mostly scrapbooking - aka Memory Keeping - and will have lots of sample layouts for you to view.

I'm hoping the new Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking products will have arrived in time for me to put together new pages. 

And of course you will be able to place orders for any current Stampin' Up! products on the day.
