This is the last month for the Seasonal Expressions so make sure you have the paper and the stamps that you have been looking at for 3 months.  They will all be gone come May 1. 

Each of the 4 different papers have a Workshop Your Way that does 3 - 2 page layouts with cards.  There are also special card kits.  Have fun creating scrapbooks and cards and then have even more fun sharing them with family and friends. 

Workshop Your Way Cards - You are more

Valentine's Day is coming and you can create some really great cards for that day as well as use the directions to make other occasions as well.  The Workshop Your Ways come with directions and pretty much all you need.  You will need inks, thin cuts and some watercolor pencils and Bashful shimmer Brush.  

These are the directions and stamps that come with the Workshop Your Way.  I had some other paper and used these as Valentine's Day cards.  I had some extra paper cut and there are only so many people to send Valentine's Day cards to, so I used other stamps and created these other fun cards.  You can use the directions and make changes and have lots of fun for future cards and seasons!  Get going and see what you can do!

May 1 starts the new Seasonal Expressions and goes through August 2017

You have 4 months to do somethings with 4 great papers.  You also have THIS month to get Live Beautifully and do great things with it.  I am sharing the papers from 3 of the packets.  Later I will post the cards that accompany the Workshop Your Way.

The first one is "Little Dearmer".  You couldn't get cuter thank with this unicorn set.  There is enough leeway with the double sided paper that if you don't have photos for the unicorn, there is the other side of the paper to work with.

The next paper is "Prickley Pear".  The fiesta spirit is strong with this one.  I love the Workshop Your Way as it gives you great layouts but enough paper and extra things to make more pages and to change what pages they have laid out for you.  You have enough to make 6 - 12 cards depending on the paper packet.

The last one that I did was "No Worries".  All of them are great sets of papers that you can make for your photos.  Remember that you can get just the paper packets and complimentary cardstock and go wild with all the creating you would ever want to do.

#Dreamin' Big - Workshop Your Way

One of the new papers is Dreamin' big.  This is a versatile paper.

 

This is no stamping or need for inks with the Workshop Your Way.  You can download the directions from my website.  The Workshop Your Way includes: The paper packet, the complements, extra cardstock and 2 kinds of bling. As an option you can also make cards while you are cutting out your pages.  They are all included in the directions.

Workshop Your Way is very versatile.  I have done a design using the Workshop your Way - my way and then with the downloaded directions.  You can get the directions from my website.

 

Now you can see the 3 - 2 page layouts that  came with the directions:

How many times do you just have a few photos that just don't fit on the pages you have made?  Close To My Heart came out with Memory Protectors - Pocket Plus.  These are half pages that will hold photos and journaling as well as paper.  Design 1 is 3 horizontal 4x6 inch pockets.  Design 2 is 2 vertical 6x4 pockets.  Design 3 is 6 vertical 3x4 pockets and Design 4 is 4 horizontal 3x4 pockets.  You can find them in the Annual book or on my website.
