Pear & Partridge Layouts - October Scrapbooking

Here are the three layouts we'll be doing for October Scrapbooking!   They are made using the Pear and Partridge papers.   I love their vintage look, and I'm really enjoying distressing with our new Cashmere ink - beautiful golden light brown.  Scrapbooking for October is Friday evening October 19th at my studio in Gresham.   Scrapbooking in Salem date has not been set yet - stay tune and watch for my e-mail.

This layout is the Pear and Partridge Workshop Kit layout, made using some of the stamps from the kit, and the beautiful P&P Complement Rub-ons.   I also used some red sparkles and Harvest Bakers' Twine.  
 This layout was inspired by Amy Mayhew's beautiful layout - thanks, Amy!   It's embellished with our Dimensional Elements In Color - Holiday Set - LOVE this set!  And sparkles again, of course because what's Christmas without a little sparkle?
This layout is another layout from our new pattern book, Make if From Your Heart.   It has 16 great layout patterns, gorgeously helpful artistic tips, lots of color photos, two single page layout patterns, and 12 new card patterns.  This layout really shows the sparkle with our Slate Satin Polka Dot Ribbon and Silver Shimmer Trim.   The Shimmer Trim comes in a 3/8" width package of 5 yards.   It's self-adhesive too.   At the bottom of the layout (left page) I used 5 widths of it, and you can't even see the seam - nice!

Display Tray for All Seasons!

Here's a picture of our new Display Tray (I LOVE it!) decorated with Autumn's colors and my kids' beautiful faces! This is look #1 for this Display Tray for All Seasons Workshop. We are getting together on Thursday 9/27 to create this gorgeous tray that you can put on an easel or hang on a wall. All the pieces are hooked on with our new velcro dots, and we'll be meeting in late November to give our tray a Christmas look, then again in late December or early January for Winter colors, and later for Spring and Summer! For the first session, you will be purchasing the tray and materials to decorate your tray for Autumn - This will be a FUN class!
