Making Memories Again

 

Watch the video to see a quick overview of a mini scrapbook I made to preserve memories from an upcoming trip to Nashville.  I am excited about teaching a clinic at the National Garden Railway Convention, where participants will be making a book like this.  Photos can be added after the convention is over.

IF YOU ARE ATTENDING THE CONVENTION AND WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THE CLINIC -  SPACES  ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR BOTH THE WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY CLINIC.  CONTACT ME FOR DETAILS.

I used retired Designer Series paper to make these albums and several Cricut die cuts.  If you are interested in any of the elements you see on the pages, please CONTACT ME for pricing information.

I'm also excited about getting back to scrapbooking.  At the end of April, I went to my first scrapbook retreat in almost two years.  Six of us rented a retreat house in Pennsylvania - it was great to get away and craft.  I almost finished my daugher's birthday scrapbook; I just need to add a few dates and put the pages into page protectors.  I did a layout for each of her birthdays from age 1 - 18.  (Maybe I should mention that she just turned 27.)

I have such a hard time "doing it all" - so while I was prepping the supplies for the 26 albums I need for the clinic - I neglected to do my regular card making and videos.  In my defense, I also was caring for my dog, Cookie, before she passed away earlier this month.  In addition to 3 family birthdays in April and May, my son also graduated from the Virginia Military Institute on May 16 - and we were away for a long weekend of activites for that.

Hopefully, I will be able to get back to creating new projects and posting on a regular basis again. AND I hope to start "in person" classes soon.

 BUT my husband and I have already planned two more vacations for this year, ordered tickets for 3 concerts, purchased season tickets to a local university theater, and we have tickets for several minor league baseball games.  SO, I may be a bit busy as I start doing more things out of the house!  I also have two more scrapbook retreats planned this year - and hope to organize one myself.  I need to learn how to manage my time better!

If you have any questions about the scrapbook - or anything about Stampin' Up!, do not hesitate to CONTACT ME..  I am here to help.

Mini Scrapbook/Photo Album

On FRIDAY'S BLOG POST I gave you a sneak peek at this album, made with the Whale of a Time Designer Series paper, which is currently ON SALE.

 

Here is a video showing how the album flips open.

This is the project we will be making at my October class for Chesapeake Parks and Rec.  It will be an "in person" class at the Rokeby Center - which has a large space with plenty of room for social distancing.  The class size is limited to 10 and the class will not involve any sharing of supplies - all in the name of safety.  Bring photos to class and learn how to crop and mat them .  Or you can add photos later.

All class attendees will receive half a package of the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper and all the supplies needed to make the flip album.  Everything will be cut to size - to make an album exactly like mine.  If you attend the class - you are free to substitute any of the designer papers to make it your own!  You will have LOTS of paper left over to use for other projects.  Check out my PINTEREST BOARD to see the ideas I have for using this paper.

Here are photos of the inside of the album:

Below are close ups up the photo mats.

The original designer of this album is Audra Monk (The Crafty Yogi) but I did make a few changes to save some designer paper and to make it a little easier for beginner crafters to assemble.

If you live in Chesapeake, VA or the surrounding cities,  I hope you will give this class a try.  Invite a friend to join you for a fun night out.

Details:

• Thursday October 22;  6:00 - 8:30pm
• Rokeby Center; Chesapeake, VA
• Chesapeake residents: $18  Non-residents: $23
• CLICK HERE now to reserve your spot.
