Victory Workshop Pages

Here are the other 3 layouts we will be making at the Workshop on Friday night!  I just love how these turned out!  


I added some extra cardstock, My Stickease assortment, and Tough Tags to the WOTG Kit.  And I still have plenty of stuff to make more projects! 






Hope you can join us!  If not and you would like instructions on these pages, just let me know!




Dotty for you Special this month. . . 

I will also have my Garage Sale Scrapbook items there on Friday!  I have cleaned out my stash (though I have lots more to go) and I wanted to give you all first dibs on these items.  Anyone is welcome to stop by on Friday and shop!  Everyone is welcome to attend the workshop!!!  You may bring your own supplies and work on your own projects as well!

Dreamin' Scrapbook Kit Projects.

 Here are the Scrapbook Pages I created using the Dreamin' WOTG Kit!  

These first two layouts were used with only the Kit Contents.  

You will see some of the additional pages below use some coordinating product!  

The layout above is the additional layout shown with the WOTG Kit.  

 This is the Featured Layout in the WOTG Kit.  

The instruction brochure takes you step-by-step through the process 

of creating these two pages. 

 This is an Additional Layout  that I created. 

 It is  based off of the layout you can find on page 34 of the Idea Book.  

It uses extra items, such as the Dreamin' Stickease 

and the Harvest Charms, plus items included in the WOTG Kit.

 This layout was created by me and based off of the layout you can 

find on page 36 of the Idea Book. 

 I intended for this to be a Make and Take at the Crop for a Cure.  

SO, they will be available at our December Workshop.  

Everything is pre-cut.  

All you have to do is stamp and assemble the pages!  

The Kit is $6.  

This is the final layout I created with the Dreamin' Kit. 

Can you believe how far this one paper pack can go? 

I did have to add additional Cardstock, but that is it!  

This layout was created by me and was based on one of the layouts shown 

on the back of the Stickease. 

 You can also find this layout and other Dreamin' artwork on the 

Close to My Heart Website.  

Look under Ideas and Inspiration.  Make it from your heart art gallery.  

There are lots of ideas there for each kit!

The Dreamin' Kit is still available to purchase.  You can shop straight from my website

 Trees & Things Stamp Set D1467

Isn't this stamp set so cute?  There are so many fun options with this set!!!!!

Some of the girls were asking for some more "male" cards.  So, I thought this one could be more "male," but was still pretty gender neutral.  I really like how simple the card is!  

Our next workshop is this Sunday at the Mason's Building in Richmond!  We will be working on our Lucky Workshop Kits!    If you didn't have time to order your kit, no problem!  I always have a small "sampler" kit available for new people to our group!  A great way to try out our workshop!

Star Album Picture

Here is a picture of the Star Album we created at Club this month. This is what it looks like folded out.

You can use the ribbon to tie the ends together and hang it up.

Or you can tie the ribbon and sit it on a table.

Or you can close it up like a book and tie the ribbon to hold it close.

For directions, see the previous post.

Notice the gaps in between the paper??

Also, notice that my pages don't have enough adhesive on them.

The next one I made, I made a little better. I haven't decorated the pages of this one yet.

Hope you enjoy! You can also Google Star Album for more ideas!!!!!

Can I just say. . . I LOVE my Clubs??!!!!

I seriously do LOVE my Clubs!!! My Sunday Scrappers Club met yesterday and 6 of the 8 girls were there!! We ALWAYS have a great time!!! They are a bunch of fun girls and I really look forward to our Club meetings!!!! We made a two-page layout. . . sometimes I also do a Card or special technique too, but we didn't have time at this meeting!!! With a new catalog and lots of dates to go over. . . plus a lot of catching up to do. . .we ran out of time fast!!!!

I try to alternate the projects. . . one month we will do scrapbook pages and the next month we will do cards or some other fun project!!! a

Here is a list of items we used to make the pages. . . all are CTMH. . .
Animal Cookies Creative Basics

Techniques used:
Stamp Kissing (on the title)
And Flip Flaps

This is the second page of the layout. . . so sorry for the poor picture and the glare!!! I had to leave it in its page protector because of the Flip Flaps. . . they are in the bottom right corner. . . and are adhered to the outside of the page protector, so as you are flipping through the album, you are able to flip through the extra pictures as well!!!!

Flip Flaps opened up


This is the first page. . .


Stamp Kissing up close. . . I used the Headline Alphabet and Spot On Backgrounds for this technique!!! I LOVE the background stamp sets, because you can do SO much with them!!!!

Each gal received a New Catalog and a fun little goodie from me!! Tucked inside the catalog was an order form and a Calendar page. . .we spent half an hour just going over ALL of the dates for events this Fall!!! We had a heck of a time keeping it all straight, but I think we got the job done!!!


Here is the set up for the ladies! These tables will fit 6-8 and I have two more tables that will sit 4. We try to keep this Club around 10 people.


Here is a board with all of the measurements needed to cut the paper for the project. I used to type it all up for them, but it is just easier to refer to the board!!! Just like teaching school. .. I even get to write on the board!!!!!
