National Scrapbook Day - Details

In case you missed it, yesterday was my repeat National Scrapbook Day event. One lady came and we had a great time. That tends to happen when you have a couple cuppas, beautiful papers, and lots of stamping inspiration! We made 2 pages each in 7 hours and loved it. When you're distracted by another cuppa or a funny story, it makes the day all the more fun. My customer loved the sunburst (I shared the youtube tutorial where I learned the technique), as well as a crash course in scrapbooking and stamping the Close To My Heart way. I enjoyed having someone else to bounce ideas off of and to share what I love doing! I had a yummy dinner planned, which we never got round to as my lady has allergies that I wasn't prepared to cater for. (Oh well, I'll know for next time!)

Wanna see what we got up to? Read on!

The calm before the storm... The pile of papers -plus prizes!- for my customer, the inks, stamps and other tools we used. Esther was rewarded with two prizes. A free workshop pass (for ordering earlier in the week) and a Ruby Exclusive Ink pad (for coming to NSD). I love spoiling my customers!

Trimmer, papers galore, stamp blocks, oh my!

Esther, my lovely NSD test subject. She had a blast! I did too!

We chose colors that matched the Ivy Lane papers. It came out quite pretty, better than I thought it would! I so love this stampset.

Our sunburst page.

We inked the edges of this matting before we stuck it all down.

So many layers. So much fun to put together!

New for 2014

Morning everyone! I'm finalizing my workshop dates for the next couple months. But first a bit of housekeeping.

Here's the details on how I'm running things this year.

-Workshop on the Go scrapbooking kit crops are the 3rd Wednesday *night* of each month from 7-10pm here in my studio.

-Cardmaking crops are the 3rd Friday *afternoon* of each month from 1-3pm here in my studio.

-Studio events are limited to 5 people each.
That's all the space I have in my studio currently. Don't worry, I will offer a second event if more than 5 people book in.

-All bookings must be paid for (by direct deposit) in advance.
This is for planning and catering purposes. Payment and location details will be given at time of booking. Bookings are not confirmed until payment has been made. I'll confirm your booking via email.

-You must must must pre-order your workshop kits.
Full payment is required at time of pre-ordering. Order cutoff dates will be announced well in advance. It can take up to 3 weeks for supplies to arrive from the California warehouse! Once the cut off date has passed, all fully paid kits will be ordered and notifications will be emailed out to you.

-I highly recommend that you bring a tool kit to each of my events.
This consists of scissors, a 12" paper trimmer, adhesive of choice, stamping blocks and stamp cleaner. These can be added to your workshop kits and ordered in for you. (I will have these supplies available for newbies.)

-Joint group events run with other Consultants have different booking and space requirements. These will be posted as soon as I have them.
