Evensong Layout

This evening song layout was modeled after a layout in our quarterly Keynotes booklet. I love this paper packet, because paired with the Evergreen stamp set it makes beautiful Christmas layouts. I had never seen ribbon knotted before this layout, which is a really cute look for a page.

Game On Layout

I had seen the first page (left page) of this layout on our Consultant bulletin boards and absolutely loved it. I completed this page and then created a layout to go with it for the second page, since there was not a second page paired with it. I used the Rustic Alphabet for the titles and cut spiders and webs from the Cricut Paper Dolls cartridge.

Sarsparilla Layout

This layout was based on the Role Play Layout from the Imagine Idea Book. I actually scraplifted this layout from our consultant idea board, because I thought it was so cute. This paper pack is adorable for western and outdoor layouts. It was paired with the Legendary Moments stamp set to give it a western flair.

Magic Moments Layout

Blue Ribbon Layout

I used a sketch layout from a Scrapbooks, Etc magazine for the first page of this layout. Mine isn't exact to theirs, but it is similar. I had to use design studio to create the star through my Cricut. I made up the second page to coordinate with the first, since only the sketch of the first page was given.

Scrapbook Club

My fellow consultants said that scrapbook clubs were a lot of fun and I have to say that I agree. We are just finished up my first scrapbook club. We had been meeting the second Thursday of each month to complete the pages. I have everything precut when the girls arrive and we spend anywhere from 2-4 hours putting the pages together. Some pages have been more difficult than others, so they take a little longer. We try different techniques and tools and have used everything from the distressing tool to sand paper. The club covers six months, has six members and is at my home every month. This way all of the tools are here and we don't have to inconvience anyone other than my family:-). Each member is the host for one month and brings a snack and beverage. As the host she also receives a $25 host product credit and the stamp of the month free. In exchange for completing pages, each member has to place a $25 order at each club meeting. This club has been a great way to learn new techniques, to experiment with products before buying them and to get some extra pages done. I am going to be starting a new club in May, but have opted to have it every other month this time. This will decrease the financial burden of joining the club, because it will space out the order requirements over the course of a whole year, instead of just six months.

Sleddin' Scrappers

Breena, Shannon and I are heading out to have fun! I can't believe our husbands actually trusted us with their sleds. We drove the sleds to the trail and probably made it at least half way to Ravenna. We were a little unsure at the beginning, but by the time we returned home we were taking jumps. We had a great time. Breena is on the left, Shannon and is on the Right, and I am in the middle. You can see our house is in the background.
