Later Sk8er Birthday Card Workshop

 

About every other month I teach a project to fellow consultants at our local team training. For May I designed a birthday card workshop using the Later Sk8er paper packet, Washi Tape, Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon, Epoxy Bubbles, and both the Joyful Birthday and Perfect Fit - Birthday stamp sets. I also wanted to highlight just a small portion of the many great card bases that can be cut with the Art Philosophy and Artiste Cricut cartridges.

Even though this paper has a masculine theme, I tried to make some of the cards more feminine.

I'm new to using Washi Tape. I know it's been around a while, but until Close to My Heart added some to the catalog, I just hadn't tried it. I had fun using it in various ways on the cards. My favorite is the one where I put two rows of it across the bottom of the card. (Card #8)

 

If you'd like to know more about now I created these cards, please feel free to contact me!

14-Page Layout Workshop using Reflections

Another consultant created this 14-page layout workshop using the Reflections Design Book. I don't usually do 1-page layouts, so I paired them up to end up with seven 2-page layouts. I love how they turned out with the Lucky papers. I have photos of my son playing outdoors that I'm going to put on them.

Father's Day 2010

This is still probably my favorite layout I've ever done. I used Close to My Heart's Passages paper for the perfect backdrop to my guys. The right page is interactive. I used hinges to create flaps with hidden photos underneath.

Masculine Birthday Cards

I needed some masculine birthday cards so I used some of my favorite paper and came up with these.

Scrapbook in a Purse

I got this pattern from a bulletin board and just love how easy it is to make one of these! I've made two like the pink one and given them away as gifts, and then I made the "western" one and gave it to my friend Penny who has always been a cowgirl. I need to make one for me and actually put photos and journaling in it! (Sorry the bottom photo is blurry - I was in a hurry and only took one shot.)
