Here is a brief description of what is coming for our Fall Workshop Projects:

6x12 Family Book featuring Collecting Moments by Fancy Pants. I loved the combination of navy, coral, green and blue plus so many wonderful embellishments to use in a mini book that is not so mini. The idea with a 6x12 format is that you can use full size 4x6 photos to complete a wonderful keepsake or gift album.

 

16x20 Hanging Memory Frame featuring Say Cheese or Urban Traveler 

This fun project will incorporate so many fun techniques and embellishments in a perfect display piece for your wall. We will be layering chipboard, paper, ribbon, die cuts, and more on hanging tags attached with clothespins. This project would be a great gift- but you won't want to give it away! You get to choose which collection is the right fit for your project- or you can do both!

 

 

7 Gypsies Mini Library Drawer- This smaller size (12" x 4") library drawer is perfect for all of those fun Instagram photos we have all been taking. We will be making 4 different mini books to live in our drawer- each a different binding technique. So many fun techniques with this project, get ready for a jam packed art discovery session.

 

Photo Freedom Layouts-Adrienne has been teaching me how to do this fun method that is part Project Life, part traditional 12 x 12 Scrapbooking. She will be teaching a class to show you how fun and fast this method is and how to incorporate it with your current scrapbooking. There will be paper choices for this class, I just don't know what they are going to be yet.

 

Elle's Studio Class- I don't know what kind of project Elle will be teaching for us. I am sure it is going to be fabulous, I will provide more details and photos as soon as I have them.

To register for this fun, art-filled weekend visit our Workshop Registration Page.

 

Thanks!

More Previews of our Christmas in August Projects

Another great project for our Christmas in August workshop, August 17th and 18th.  There is still time to register, I have a few more spots available.

 Gingerbread House with Album Roof, Saturday August 17th, 1 pm- 4 pm. This fun class features a custom made house box and album- yes we are making it all from scratch with some great Jillibean Soup paper and embellishments.

 The sample is made as a Christmas Favorites Recipe Book- but this is such a great format and easy to customize into a Favorite Photos, Favorite Traditions, or even a place to save those wonderful Christmas card photos you get every year.

I used lots of great embellishments for this project, with plenty of room for your photos, recipes, or memories.
Sign up for just this class, all day Saturday or the whole weekend at www.TheScrapYardChicks.com .

Christmas In August 17t & 18th- Third Sneak Preview

Oh Snap! Year in Review Mini Album (or Year in Advance)-
Sunday August 18th 1- 4pm.

This is such a great and colorful album, it will be all ready for you to add your photos for a fantastic gift- or to keep it for yourself. This colorful product is all by Simple Stories. The project is divided by months with lots of embellishments to customize your project. I used the Snap! 6x8 Binder Album, the Snap Life Collection, Divided 6x8 Page Protectors, Kraft Chipboard Album Dividers and LOTS of fun details.

An entire Snap Life Paper Collection is included with this class (12"x 12" Snap Life- 6 sheets of double sided paper, fundamental and calendar stickers, six 4"x 6" transparency photo overlays, and 6 sheets of double sided, cut apart elements) plus the Teal 6x8 chipboard binder set and many more unique Scrap Yard Chicks details. 

  You could also create this mini album as a Year in Advance project for 2014- if you aren't quite up to doing an entire Project Life album. So many possibilities!

To register for this class or for the Christmas in August Workshop Weekend. Visit our Christmas in August page on our website.

 

Christmas in August 17th and 18th- Second sneak preview

This fantastic project is half mini book and half display piece. I used the beautiful Basic Grey Nordic Holiday collection as the perfect backdrop for Santa or Christmas Card photos.

I added lots of beautiful embellishments, ribbon, brads, stickers and other special goodies.

The stunning project is one that gets lots of oooohs and ahhhhs and "how did you do that?" comments.

This class is part of our Christmas in August event, August 17th and 18th, you can register for the entire weekend, one day only or individual classes.

Long Time no Blogging

Hi Chicks
It has been a while since I have updated anything here, I have so many new things brewing that I am trying to work out that I haven't taken the time to post here. Here are a few events I have coming up:

Christmas in August Workshop- August 17th & 18th- This is going to be at my house in Sammamish, Washington. It is 2 days of Christmas and Gift classes with some other fun stuff mixed in. More details are coming.

Fall Workshop Weekend- October 19th & 20th- Baymont Inn and Suites, Kirkland Washington. This is 2 days of fun classes with 2 guest instructors. The Baymont has given us a fantastic rate for guest rooms if you want to stay over. More details are coming.

Fall Retreats-We are heading back to the mountains in Ronald, Washington for some fun retreat weekends.
September 27th-29th
November 1-3rd

The reason that I don't have pricing, details, etc for any of these events is that I am working feverishly on a new website that will have all of the registration information available.

So mark your calendars and I am hoping to have everything up and running (fingers crossed) this week.

Class- I am working on a Summer Mini Book for a Saturday afternoon class, 1pm- 4 pm. The max class size is 6 people and it will be in a separate space from the cropping area. The mini book uses a Fancy Pants Brag Book for the foundation. The cost will be $30-$40 depending on how I finish it. I will post some photos when it is finished, or started, but definitely when finished. :)

Supplies- I have a few limited supplies, some adhesive, cardstock, paper, etc. if you forget something plus I am about 20 minutes from Ben Franklin Redmond or 15 minutes from Mad Scrapper.
