Capture Senior Year Memories with this new Workshop

I’m so excited to announce my new graduation-themed scrapbooking workshop. These fun pages have big bold die cut images, a shaker element and lots of room for photos and mementos.

The workshop makes four Senior Year themed two-page 12″ x 12″ layouts with custom Cricut shapes created from CTMH images, a star shaker element and optional shimmer brush and stamping techniques. Let’s take a closer look at these layouts:

This workshop is available to order now! You can choose to get a complete kit, Cricut and die cut pieces only or just the instruction guide. You can also get a free instruction guide by placing an order of $40 or more on my Close To My Heart website. After placing your order, click here to request the guide.

Be sure to review the list of included and additional materials to decide which option to choose. If you are doing your own cutting, you will need the Star Shaker Window Thin Cuts (Z3871) and have access to the following Cricut collections in Design Space: Artbooking, Flower Market, You Are Here, Artiste, Art Philosophy. These collections are available through my Cricut affiliate link.

The sample layouts include optional stamping, distressing and shimmer brush techniques.

Stamping: The image inside of the star shaker window and other places in the workshop are stamped with the All-Star Birthday Stamp Set (C1888) and Intense Black ink.
Distressing: Papers in layout 1 are sponge distressed using a Toffee ink pad and sponge (or sponge dauber).
Shimmer: Splatters were added to the base pages for layout 2 and 4 using a Black Shimmer Brush. The brush can also used to add extra sparkle to several black cardstock pieces.

Step-by-step directions for cutting, prepping and completing the layouts, plus lots of helpful tips, are in the instruction guide.

How to Customize Subscription Layouts (Here’s My January – April Pages)

I’m so excited today to show you my layouts that I made with the Craft With Heart kits for January – April. Along the way, I’ll explain a few of the modifications I made. Although these pages come together quickly because of the printed backgrounds, die cut papers and stickers, they are versatile because most of the elements are separate and ready for you to assemble.

You may want to also have my Craft With Heart subscription page open so you can compare mine to the sample layouts. You will see that I resized, rearranged and added photos to my pages. If you love these pages, it is not too late to order. However it will be soon. I’ll explain a little about how the subscription program works later in this post.
