Wow! The end of the school year and getting caught up with life has kept me so busy! I have been crafting but just not making quality scans for you guys! Here's the first in a new series of posts :)
The full kit contains
twenty 12"x12" and eight 8.5"x11" sheets of printed (otherwise extinct Kit For a Cause papers) and solid cardstock along with a package of organza ribbons in 5 colors, and a full sticker sheet, complete with images, captions, and a full alphabet! In the photo above, you see 3 of the 6 completed workshop layouts along with all the extra supplies
after you've made 6 layouts!

I had a lot of fun adding more blooms to this layout of flowers from the Rose Garden in Lynch Park, Beverly, MA. I took some marbled paper that I'd created and cut it into circles for the flower centers then stamped an oversized block of script onto them and edged them in Stickles. Also, note that I trimmed the flowers whenever they would go under a matte... not only does this help your photos to lay flat, but you can use those petals elsewhere on the page, or on another layout!

I love how this kit coordinates so easily with other Club Scrap kits! Of course,
Road Trip 3/05 is a perfect match to the solid papers, but much of it is extinct and it has a very different printed design. Here, I matched a printed tag/title from the
Body & Soul 5/08 kit for a quick caption that helps express a little bit about our experience getting Midsommar floral wreaths made at Ikea. I have a few other layouts from this event, but here's one with the woman who taught me how to make the wreaths so that I could help them move the long line of kids that were waiting, and then she made Uatchet's wreath a little while later when it was her turn in line! I loved that they let me help out when they had a shift change and were short staffed and had such a great experience teaching the older kids to make their own and wowing my children in the process!

While most layouts from the Walk for Autism Research with the
501st New England Garrison feature dark and starry prints to match the Star Wars costumes and marble backdrop... I thought that the "girl power" photos deserved a more feminine page! I loved the stickers from the kit, but the layout needed a little ornamentation with a more industrial feel without losing the femininity. I took these great matte finish colored chipboard shapes and adhered the clear printed stickers over them and then cut them out with my X-Acto blade and the Tonic Glass Cutting Mat (from Club Scrap) to create a uniform look!

My children, my cousin's children, and my brother's new stepchildren were being a little bit sneaky on Mother's Day! They were flocking to the driveway to create HUGE chalk art Mother's Day cards for all of the mothers at our family cook out! While not exactly the most lovely photos that you'll ever see, I think it went perfectly with this kit!

The clear butterflies on this page look amazing in real life! They are still translucent, but the silver alcohol ink makes them more opaque and shimmery on the actual page! I thought they were just the perfect accent for these photos of the local Audubon's Butterfly Garden, and they are perfectly customizable!

What princess party is complete without a stage coach? Somehow the horses rode on top for a while, then pushed from behind, but can we still call it a horse drawn carriage? For this layout, I rose to the Household Items Challenge at
Club Scrap's Summer Camp Pro Scrapbookers League TM and used a recycled soda can and half crumpled napkin in my die cutter to create the flowers and caption! Learn how to prepare your recycled soda cans in Michael Strong's
Heavy Metal webisode at TV Weekly!
