Scrappin' the Details

Seasonal Storytelling with Amy Heller {Two Peas}

Hi, everyone!

I wanted to share a new workshop over at Two Peas designed by the amazingly talented Amy Heller! If you love mini books, like I do, this is a workshop you will not want to miss! There are eight mini books in this workshop, and this workshop will be full of mini imspiration! I am happy to share that I was asked by Amy Heller to contribute a mini! I hope you like it, as much as I had fun creating it!

You do not want to miss out adding this to your cart!
Here are the details:

Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Each season brings about it’s own wonderful and memorable moments for us all.

Perhaps Winter, when celebrating Christmas or Hannukah and the New Year, is your most memorable time of the year. Or maybe it is Spring when your family celebrates a number of birthdays, or you love preparing your garden and celebrating Easter. Then there is Summer - full of outdoor activities, 4^th of July, camping and family vacations. And of course, Autumn with the beginning of school, the glorious changing of nature’s color, bountiful harvests, Halloween and Thanksgiving. When you break the year up into seasons, there certainly are plenty of stories worth telling! 

In Seasonal Storytelling: Mini Books for Sharing Each Season’s Special Memories, we break down the year into the four seasons. This provides a naturally broadened perspective through which to document your special memories. Because of this broadened view, we introduce you to four different approaches to creating seasonal mini albums - Events & Traditions,Timeframes, On-the-Go and Reflections. With each chapter, we will focus on a different season and share two of these four approaches for tackling that season to create a mini book filled with a memories that fits your lifestyle, your scrapping habits and your style of creating.

Showcasing eight different and unique mini albums filled with over 100 pages (close to 200, really!) of ideas, Seasonal Storytelling covers each of the seasons, throughout four chapters. Every chapter contains a printable PDF containing two beautifully crafted mini albums along with a coordinating video. Also included are two exclusive printable journaling cards used as the base for one of the mini albums featured in the workshop.

 

The content of this workshop will be available immediately upon purchase. The lessons are available for you to work at your own pace and upon purchase can be accessed in the "Workshops" section under "Classes & Events." A private message board forum is also available to ask questions for Amy and to connect with other participants. Enjoy! 

 

Cost of class is $25

Little Yellow Bicycle & Xyron Blog Hop

Good morning everyone!

We are so excited to share our projects created with Little Yellow Bicycle’s Acorn Hollow Collection and Xyron Adhesive.

For my project, I created a simple card featuring my favorite glitter technique! This is defintely hands down my favorite technique when paired with my Xyron! I used this technique a lot, especially during the holidays!

This card features Little Yellow Bicycle Acorn's Hollow Collection, Xyron, and bit of shine!

I love this little create a sticker by Xyron. Super easy to use, and great for the little bits you want to add just a touch of glitter! It also looks so cute sitting on your scrapbook worktable!

 

Here is a look at how easy it is to add shine to simple embellishments as stickers, and chipboard pieces, too! 


First, I chose the smile sticker off the coordinating sticker pack from the Acorn Hollow Favorite Pieces Cardstock Stickers. To the back of the sticker I added a scrap piece of paper. Then ran the sticker  through the Xyron face down. The element will now be sticky on the top. This is what we want.


Then you peel it from the white strip, and place the sticky element face down into the glitter! You could also sprinkle it on top, but the item was small enough it fit perfect right into the container. Then you get the perfect shine to add a festive look to your projects:

You can see I also adhered the chipboard flower right on through my Xyron. So easy,and a fast way to apply adhesive without a whole lot of mess. (okay, you may have a bit of glitter flakes, but how sparkly fun is that)

Brand New: Now & Then {Teresa Collins}

Hi, everyone! I think I have enough projects to share with you for a few months. The only problem being, time is hard to find for blogging. However, I will definitely try, and be a bit more consistent in the next few weeks.(I know I have written this before!) Ha!

I am busy kitting out the Halloween Mini book, and of course, other papercrafting ventures. If you ordered a mini book, they will ship on Monday. I had a few more orders at the end, and makes it easier for me, if I can kit all togther. So thanks for your patience, and I will be sure to include a few goodies for your patience! I do have three last kits available, so if you are interested check this blog post for all the details! Thanks for your orders,I appreciate them!

Okay, how about some Teresa Collins? I love her new release, Now & Then! She has such a distinct, and unique style! This collection does not disappoint, and has her signature style all over it! Here is the page I created, and was featured Monday on the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog:


This is brand new to Teresa Collins, and it is called Now & Then. A timeless collection that is perfect for your special boy, or girl. I noticed while I was scrapbooking this page, Roman has a bit of a left lazy eye! He is such a cutie, and the collection complimented his photo wonderfully.

details:

I pulled out my Cricut to diecut the word Boy. Roman is 100% rough, and tough boy! I loved this jumbled design. I added a bit of embossing to the diecut to add more interest. A brad from the Now & Then collection finishes the center.

In this collection be prepared to see a full 12x12 page of chipboard accents! I was soooo happy to see this in my box! The tag is from the chipboard sheet, and again, you know me, I cannot leave well enough alone! There it went through my Cuttlebug Dots Folder! You will also see a Now & Then coordinating stamp set, and the the twill ribbon is inked with the small mini border stamp.

If you would like to read a bit more on my process, and a couple of more details head over to the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog.

I will be back tomorrow with a fun blog hop!
Have a great night! 

Spooky Treat Class with My Mind's Eye {Timeless Treasures}

Hi, everyone!

I wanted to share another class I am teaching at Timeless Treasures. It is scheduled for tomorrow from 6PM-9PM. Here is a peek:

In this class we are creating six different treats! All using the Lost & Found Halloween Collection by My Mind's Eye. They did sell out of the brads, so look for something else to be subsituted in their place. As you can see, lots of inking, and embossing! 

a few details:

I could not resist throwing in a vellum treat bag! I love vellum, and a great way to tuck in candy bars, and other Hallowen treats!


and one spooky test tube:

The cost for the class is $35.00. I will have a few kits leftover, so if you are interested, please let me know. This way you will have them in time for Halloween! 

Have a great day everyone! 

2013 Calendar {Vintage Finds with Teresa Collins}

Hello my friends!

With the new year approaching, it is not too early to begin on New Year's projects! I fell in love with Teresa Collins new collection, Vintage Finds, and it was perfect for creating this 2013 Mini Calendar:


This book is filled with inking, quotes, chipboard & embellishemnts from Vintage Finds, and big, bold embellishments!

Here is a peek of the inside:

Okay, I know this is supposed to be a calendar to record dates, appointments, etc. However, for me I am primarily using it more as an inspiration book! I have a very bold, and sometimes, loud personality! I wanted the opposite pages to be just that! 

With the recent changes in my life, I wanted to create a mini that would be perfect as I say goodbye to 2012! (I will admit, I am ready to put this year behind me, and I look forward to all the changes that await!) I am a Mother, and truly am blessed to have three gorgeous children. 2013 will also be a year of rediscovering who I am, and in search of my happiness.(;
So, I will use this book to record my thoughts, dreams, passions, and goals! The calendar pages also have pockets, perfect for tucking in photos, cards, or anything special to me.

For a few more pages, visit the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog. Here is the link, and while you are there check out all the other amazing projects from the designers. They always inspire me each time I visit.

The calendar above will be a class that I will teach at Timeless Treasures. The class is scheduled for December, and as the date gets closer I will give more details!

Hope your day is great!

Happy Friday!

So much to share that I thought I better start with something today! 

I have been in the process of designing my classes at Timeless Treasures, and have my first class to share with you today! With Halloween around the corner, I created the following mini, perfect for your upcoming photos! Of course, it will pair great with a coalation of Halloween past photos, too!

8x8 Perfect Time for Halloween Mini Book

I used an 8x8 Chipboard album from American Crafts. It has 8 pages inside with two of them being vellum pocket pages! You know I cannot create without it!


Here is a closer look at the cover. Throughout this mini, one of the main Cricut Cartridges I used was Chic & Scary by Teresa Collins. If you do not have this one, it is a must have!

Details of what is inside:

Lots of inking, diecuts, vellum, custom embellishments, etc. I truly had such a great time creating this book, and I have to give my best friend Jeannette a big thank you. She is over the top creative, and really helped to keep to a theme throughout! I wish I had her outside of the box thinking! LOL So thank you my friend, for helping me get it together!!!!
Details of what is inside: 

 This is the cover page.

You will find a few double page throughout this mini, too.

One of the pages from the candy two page spread! I love the little glassine bag, and it was perfect to tuck in the lollipops.

There is even a place to document your family's favorite Halloween recipe!

Here is a closeup of the vellum page pocket inside the book.

Finally, another page that is bold, and scary! Ha!

Here are the detials for the mini book:

Time: October 13 from 10am-2pm (you might want to plan to stay one extra hour) (;

I hope you enjoyed the mini above, and hopes it inspires you in your Halloween papercrafting!

I do have more classes to share, layouts, etc. So see you soon, and hope you are having a good day!

All About Chipboard {Teresa Collins}

Happy Labor Day!

Today, I have the following page that popped up on the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog. I used the new Vintage Finds collection, and it is one of my favorites. I will also be using this collection on a calendar that I am designing for one of my classes at Timeless Treasures. I cannot wait to get started!


How lucky am I to have these two gorgeous kids in my life?? They are everything to me, and they fulfill me more than I can ever express. I changed the color of the photos to black, and white. I wanted this page to have a more elegant feel to it, and this collection went perfectly.
details:

I love creating layers on my projects. Here,I used the large damask chipboard element as the main embellishment on my page. I created layers on top using embossed vellum, black cardstock label, punched flower, chipboard flower, and a brad to finish the center. You can also see a peek at the gorgeous damask washi tape also part of this collection.


I created more layers at the top of the page. I used a punched tag, that I of course, embossed. Another black cardstock label, punched flower, and a clock image that I cut from the Vintage Finds Clocks 12x12 Paper. I finished this area with more chipboard clocks, vellum, and the orange dot paper. The brads finished the centers, and they can be found {here}. You will find stamping here, and there on this page, too. The arrows on the tag were from the the Vintage Finds Stamp 2 set.

Have a great everyone!

My sweet little Macie! She is growing up so quickly! She is not so little anymore! I really love this collection, and now I am wondering what I did with the rest of this line! Somewhere still in a few unopened boxes,as I continue organizing my supplies! It never ends! LOL

School will be beginning soon for my kids, and I cannot tell you how excited I am!! Usually, I am one that never wants to see the summer end, but right now my kids will benefit from the structure. I could use some of it, too(;

I filled 10 Medium flat rate priority boxes filled to the top with scrapbooking supplies!
Now, as for what is inside? Now, that will be a surprise! I am not taking photos, but they are filled with all sorts of wonderful scrapbooking goodies! I simply cannot use it all! Trust me, I am creative everyday, even if it is only five minutes.  

Here are the details: 

• Boxes are all different and all random – they may include: patterned paper, cardstock, stickers, chipboard,chipboard mini albums, letters,brads, buttons, tags,misc. embellishments, stamps,flowers, etc. I promise there will be a lot more than $40 worth of product in each and every box.  A lot more.I am taking advantage of all the space in each box.
• $50 per box (which will include flat rate USPS shipping which is $11.35) If you are local, contact me, and I will coordinate a time to drop off your box.(: 

I accept payments by paypal, and unfortunately I can only ship to the US. 
If you are interested in any of these, please email me at susergi@me.com. If you have any questions, please ask me. I did try, and stay away from packing Halloween, or Christmas items, but if you like these themes, let me know. 

Please email me if you are interested, and I will sell them on a first come, first served basis! 

Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!
