Another Option for Mother's Day Class

I decided to create another mini scrapbook for Mother's Day. This time with the Carousel Notes from the Occasions Mini Collection and some Fall Flowers Designer Series paper. I found this idea on Jan Tink's blog and changed things up a bit to work with the supplies I had on hand. I haven't finished it yet but just to give you an idea here are a couple of pictures:



The front




The inside







The inside with inserts pulled out


The back



I still have some more embellishing to do and of course pictures to add but the overall idea is here. If you would like to make one of these yourself, I am offering a class on May 8th. The class fee of $35 includes a package of Carousel Notes and your choice of one package of Designer Series paper. Orders need to be in by April 29th if you want to participate in this class so if you live in Calgary or surrounding areas send me an e-mail.

Mother's Day Class Projects

Stampin' Up! is offering a great kit for purchase to benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Canada. It is called Loonies for Littles and for every sale they will donate $2. The kit is priced at $32.50 plus shipping and GST for a total of $37.54.

Each kit contains:

  • Exclusive double-mounted Good Together stamp set

  • One 5" x 5" On Board Art Journal

  • Two sheets of double-sided Designer Series paper from Boho Blend Simply Scrappin'

  • Three sheets of self-adhesive die cuts from Boho Blend Simply Scrappin'

  • Four sheets of 12" x 12" textured cardstock

  • Two Classic Stampin' Spots: 1 Old Olive, 1 Pumpkin Pie

  • Full-color insert with photos of project, along with step-by-step instructions
  • One craft keeper

I have designed a free class for anyone who purchases this kit by April 29th just in time for Mother's Day. By the end of the class you will have a great mini scrapbook to give to your mom or another special person in your life. This class will be offered on May 8th, hence the need to have the order in by the end of April. If you can't come to the class but would still like to purchase the kit that can be done too. This kit will be available for purchase until the end of May.

The following pictures will give you an idea of what we will be creating on May 8th:












This is just the cover and the first page in the book but it gives you an idea of the project. The best thing is that I created a whole mini scrapbook for my mom and I still have stuff left over from the kit! In my opinion its a huge bang for your buck. So if you are interested in attending my class on May 8th and you live in Calgary or the surrounding areas send me an e-mail and we can arrange the order details.
