November's Workshop...almost caught up

November is typically my last workshop of the year.  One of the main reasons for that is because usually everyone (including me) is super busy with the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season.  So for this workshop I decided to use the Frosted paper pack (retired in January), Black & Grey Glitter paper & Sparkles small flourishes.  We made a 2-page layout, a set of 3 cards & a cute mini album.

I really enjoyed making this layout....The concept is from my favorite sketch gals of all times - Scrapbook Generation, but I did however alter it so I could have more 4x6 pictures.

the title was created using the Gypsy and welding letters from CTMH's Artbooking cart

the snowflake clusters are from Anna Giffins new cart



the technique we were learning was how to get more out of your embellishments.  we were using the mini flourish sparkles and cutting them apart so we could have more to work with



The cards (oddly enough) happen to be my favorite out of all the projects this month...I scoured the internet for ideas because I'm terrible at making cards.  I had some ideas of how I wanted my cards to look and I really couldn't find what I was looking for on the net....so this is what I came up with...

I really wanted to use this "ho, ho, ho" image...

I loved the idea of making the ornaments 3-D...

and this one I did borrow from someones idea that I found via the internet.  they had used greens and reds and it was the cover of a mini for them.  so I took the idea and used what colors I had and created this card...

The mini album was made easily by using a few buttons on CTMH's Artbooking cart.  I swear I could use that cart for everything....there are 14 pages total within this book - some of the pages are half pages just to make the book more interesting.  Each page was decorated using an image found within the Artbooking cart.  Adding a few sparkles here, and some glitter tape there....

We ended up using the Bind-it-all system to put our books together.

So what do you think?  Can you tell my favorite thing to work with is snowflakes, sparkles & glitter?  Thank you for stopping by!
