Every July 4th our family gathers at our house we have 11-12 people.  I chose to really do the Workshop Your Way - MY way. I usually follow the directions which leads to 3 great 2 page layouts.   Usually I use the extra pieces after the project to make cards or other things.  This time I am getting ready for the photos from our family gathering.  We take so many pictures because we eat, swim, canoe, kayak, do legal fire works, crafts and have fun with glow sticks.

I started with the Workshop Your Way - Craft On Scrapbooking Kit.  I added some photos to what was on the instructions for the regular pages plus I used our Pocket Protectors Design 1 for more photos between each one of the pages.  I love the designs that Close To My Heart makes but they really mean it when they say "Your Way".  I love to keep the designs and use them for other papers that I have.

I then started in on doing 2 more 2 page layouts with the middle page protectors using the left over complements and paper.  I added a bit of regular paper to fill in.

We have great How-To books.  I used the Make it from Your Heart Volume 3 and varied just a little bit from Pattern 1 and 3.  Then I did a front and back page to make a complete set for my album.  For the front I used all of the Paper Pal series.  The castle I made into a sand castle. I also used the Block Letters and Numbers from the Thin Cut.  This catalog has the most stamp/thin cut sets!  I love them so much.

For our family history, I have an album of activities that have take place at our home.  This section for 2019 will be fun to add photos this year.  Normally I make the album pages after the gathering.  It is fun to have it done now.  Push your creative limits with Workshop Your Ways and you will have fun.  I added Black, Willow, Ballerina and Eggplant paper to supplement what I had left and had fun using all the compliments and cutouts!
