ZOE WORKSHOP ON THE GO PAGE LAYOUT

What I love about this paper pack is the versatility of it. It is perfect for boys or girls depending on which side of the paper you use. It's great for families, vacations, outdoor adventures, the list goes on and on.

I loved it so much I did my own take on consultant Susan Williams workshop and created 6 more pages along with a card workshop using the left over papers and a few extra supplies. See the many pictures shown below.

Wow I can't believe it is June already! I thought things would slow down after the WLC2 event in April....but life kept happening. It looks like finally now things are slowing down...just a bit...and I have found some time to update my blog.

June WOTG is pictured below and is scheduled for June 28th at 1:00 pm. If there is anyone out there who is not part of the workshop group or can not attend and would like the kit...please let me know.  The first 2 page layout is what we will do in class and the other 6 pages and 4 cards were some examples of what I did with the leftovers in the kit using the extra paper and some other misc items. Feel free to copy my examples.

The kit includes 1 Jackson paper pack, one D sized clear stamp set, one Jackson embellishment package, 1 brave enamel shape set, and instructions.  Cost is $29.95 plus tax and shipping.

NEW IN 2015

 It's a new year and a new start. Once again, not only will I be having my regular monthly Workshops on the go, but I will also be going back to having monthly dinner crops and hopefully a monthly card class as well.  Stay tuned for more information coming after we get through our annual winter scrapbooking retreat this weekend. 

Upcoming Classes/Workshops/Crops

Unfortunately with my new and crazy retail work schedule...finding days and times to do my normal holiday card/gift classes has been a challenge.  I always have Sundays off, and Never have Tuesdays or Fridays off...the rest is hit and miss. I am going to do my best to schedule my classes according to what I think I will have available but please know that I may have to re-schedule last minute or prepare a kit for you to do at home if you can't make the re-scheduled date. I am really hoping that I won't have to re-schedule anything but there is always a chance. I am supposed to have every other Saturday off, but work just pulled a twist on me and gave me two Saturdays off in a row...I am guessing because they will want me to work two in a row following black Friday.  I will keep you posted as I know for sure, but this is how my class schedule is going to stand for now: Please RSVP for any or all ASAP so I can get stuff ordered right away.  If you can't attend a workshop let me know if you would like a kit and directions...I will see what I can do.
