Sneak Peek for November Workshop

I've had people ask when my next scrapbooking workshop is.  Haven't picked a date yet but most likely the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  But here's a sneak peek of what we will be making.

Ever wish you could get more photos on a page?  Well, I have the answer.  It's our new how-to book Magic.
Next month we will make an interactive layout that can hold up to 20 photos!

This layout is not complete yet, but you get the general idea.

This is the basic layout.  Now pay attention to the right side of the layout.

See how the flaps open to reveal more. 

Wait for it . . . . now open the flaps again and

Voila!!!  A Christmas layout that opens like a present!!!!!!  More info and photos coming soon!

We will make 7 cards for $7 on Saturday, October 23 from 4-7 pm.  RSVP by Wednesday, October 13 to ensure I have enough supplies for everyone.  Everything will be precut.  Just bring adhesive of your choice and come enjoy the fun.  If you are not a cardmaker, this is a great time to come learn how to stamp embellishments for your scrapbook pages.
