July Workshop-on-the-Go: CRUISIN'

During the month of July, I've selected CRUISIN' to be the workshop of the month, view my calendar for dates and times.

I am so excited about July's Workshop on the Go layouts using Cruisin' papers!  These layouts are just the ticket when it comes to preserving the memories you have of your vacations and road trips this summer.  Come join us and make these pages for yourself!

 The above layout also uses the Adventure USA stamp set, 

and the Cocktail Alphabet for the titles on all the pages

 All of these layouts would work perfectly using our 4x6 Flip Flaps...to add even more pictures to your layouts!  These layouts also use the Cruisin' Silver Foil Images and the Black Mini Medleys for embellishments.

The Workshop-on-the-Go kits are a tremendous value...for just $29.95, the Cruisin' WOTG kit contains a Cruisin' Paper Packet, an exclusive Cruisin' Stamp set, 2 sheets of White Daisy cardstock, a package of Bottle Caps, a package of Dimensional Element Numbers and full color instructional brochure.

The retail value of this kit is $34.08, but you only pay $29.95.

Flip Flap Layout - Road Trip!

A couple weeks ago, a few friends and I took a road trip to see a friend in South Dakota (see Road Trip post), and I already have my pictures scrapbooked...I can't believe it!  I think what really helped, was that I made a two page layout for each of them as a special gift to remember the trip (and it forced me to take "people" pictures too!)  Here's the layout I created:

Now, here it is with pictures:

I had several pictures that I wanted to include in this layout, do you find yourself in this same dilemma? I have just the answer...it's FLIP FLAPS!  No, not flip flops...flip flaps!  They are pockets that you can slide photos into and attach the Flip Flap to your layout with its adhesive strip!  

See, I used them on the horizontal pictures above...so I fit five 4x6 photos in that one space (using 2 flip flaps stacked).

And another on the vertical picture on the right page above...fitting three 4x6 photos in that space.

Flip flaps have another great use...you can add "hidden" journaling to your pages.  I plan to add a flip flap on the vertical picture on the left page, and create my journaling under the picture.  I need to create a second 2-page layout for the postcards we purchased at Mount Rushmore, and I'll probably use more Flip Flaps on those pages too!

Next time you have too many pictures for a 2-page layout...remember Flip Flaps! They come in 3 sizes:  6" square, 12" assortment, and 4x6 (used here).

FYI - this layout uses Cruisin' paper, the Love Life stamp set, and the Cocktail Alphabet.  As I see the names of these products listed together...it describes our weekend to a tee!  What happens in S. Dakota stays in S. Dakota! LOL

If you like the Cruisin' papers, I'm planning the Cruisin' WOTG kit in July...watch for it!

Road Trip!

It's been a whirl wind for the last couple of weeks...I don't know if I'm coming or going. Actually last week, a few friends and I took a quick road trip to see a friend living in Rapid City, South Dakota...and what fun we had!

We had to stop for each state line and get a picture...wish we were in these too...didn't think of it until after the fact.

We were stuffed to the gills...and this was packing light! I taught 4 different workshops while we were visiting, and of course we saved time for sight-seeing and shopping too!

It was challenging to work in a chance to see Mt. Rushmore...Mother Nature wasn't cooperating! The weather was overcast, rainy and foggy...but we managed to get a clear moment, wind and all. Afterwards, we walked to the gift shop, and when we came out, it was snowing! Our timing couldn't have been any better!

The GPS took us home a different route, so we added another state line picture:

Home, Sweet Home!
