Library Scrapbook Page - September

Library Scrapbooking Project

This month at the library we created a 2-page layout featuring the Close to My Heart™ Urban Collection.

With its rustic and earthy feel, it’s perfect for vacation, camping, sports, or even memories of the guys in your life. For this library scrapbook project, it was exciting to see the wealth of creativity and energy among the library patrons participating in the class.

Florence

I am excited to share with you the month's featured Workshops Your Way™ Florence Scrapbooking Kit. There are so many possibilities with these rich, vibrant, earthy, boho tones in this paper packet. The possibilities are great for both outdoors or visits to some of the southern states. I'm hoping to use them to capture some photos from a trip to Texas. What possibilities are you seeing with them?

Workshops Your Way™ Florence Scrapbooking Kit

Reawaken the creative part of your personality with this fun, simple and enjoyable workshop. You can make several visually pleasing and heart warming traditional scrapbooking layouts with no stamping.

You also have the option to create a fourth layout featuring Picture My Life™ cards, and the option to create an additional cardmaking project featuring stamping and other techniques—all with one workshop kit! (You'll also need a few basic tools you may already have.)

Please also see below videos and tutorials below to help you along the way!
