| Host a Scrapbook Class (no product sales - just scrapbooking!) Don't like lugging your scrapbook supplies to another venue for a class? Want to choose the theme you want instead of just what's available at your local store? Host your own class. This month, if you host a class in your home you will not only receive your kit and instruction free*, you will also receive an extra kit that you can complete later to give as a gift to have an extra for yourself! This is not a direct sales party. There are no catalogs, no sales quotas and nothing to sell. Simply get some friends together and decide what type of album you want to create. I will design an album just for your class and provide the complete kit for each guest. I will bring tools for your guests to use in case they have never scrapbooked before. All you have to do is provide some snacks for your guests. Each guest will pay a class fee depending on the album type and supplies needed. I look forward to hearing from you, Happy Scrapping! Wendy * minimum of 5 guests for small albums and 3 guests for more involved albums |
March Special: Springtime Paper Bag Album This month purchase a floral design 2 bag album for only $25. Just specify the colors you desire and I will create an album just for you. |
| Tip of the Month Use those scraps! When you finish with a layout or any papercraft project, don't be in such a rush to clean it up and start on the next project. First, use those scraps. Before you put away the coordinating ink, stamps, fibers, etc. sit down and create at least one quick card from your scraps. This scrapper created two very quick cards with the scraps shown and could have done at least one more! These are paper scraps that would normally just go in the trash or in a scrap bin (and maybe never get used). By doing it this way you are more likely to use the scraps, you already have all of the coordinating embellishments at your fingertips, and you will never run out of cards! Making a common practice of this 10 minute project could save you valuable time when the next occasion comes around and you are in need of the perfect hand-made card. |
| Featuted Layout by Wendy Cuskey This month in the Featured Layout section I am featuring my Snow Day mini album. Just click on the picture below to view the complete album. This album only took about 2 hours to create. A mini album is a great way to showcase a few special photos of an event. Choose several coordinating patterned papers, some embellishments (the Soft Spoken embellishments come in sets and are easy to use). Figure out how many pages you want to create and section out your photos by page. Now you are ready to create! Just have fun with it. |
Scrapbooking is not just an art,
but constant a state of mind . . .
