Oh. Snap!

At the top of my “MUST ORDER” list is this awesome stamp set, Capture the Good. I could not wait to create a page layout with it! The possibilities are absolutely endless with the camera image and the sentiments are perfect for a variety of projects! My monthly page class will get to create this page on Wednesday. We meet the last Wednesday of each month. If you are in the YEG area I would love if you popped in for a scrapbook class sometime! To color the cameras I used our awesome Stampin’ Blends in Roccoco Rose, Bermuday Bay, Old Olive and Mango Melody. All of the images on this page are from this one stamp set!

A little bit of Canada...

I have been lucky enough to travel internationally with Stampin’ Up! on a few of our Incentive Trips. One of my favourite things to do is leave a little Canada behind for our cruise steward or housekeeping staff at our hotel. This year I will be treating people to some authentic maple syrup from Purdy’s, a Canadian chocolatier! I will make a cute card of course to go along with these maple leaf syrup bottle! So if you are looking for a fun idea when travelling this might be it!

In Color Page Layout

I shared this layout at my recent Creative Day Getaway event. It is a wonderful page to showcase our new In Colors and because the background 12x12 can be any of the five colors it is actually easy to run this as a class! I featured the To a Wild Rose and Floral Essence stamp sets on the layout as well as the new DSP.

Woven Threads Card Class

---

I don’t know about you, but I find June to be the busiest month of the year! Between outdoor kids activities, wrapping up the school year (aka Teacher Gifts), and the launch of a new catalogue, I find myself needing to be really on top of schedule. I always try and find a way to make one card design go its furthest! I created this In Color Woven Threads class to do just that. You will notice that each card has the same design, however I did keep them avid by mixing up the framelits and sentiments on each card. I also decorated an acetate card box to store the cards and envelopes in. You always want to showcase new and returning products together when you can and I think this class is the perfect blend of that. I will be offering it on my schedule soon so watch out for it!

I think this little suite of cards would be a perfect teachers gift (paired with a bottle of wine!)

Memories and More!

Years ago Stampin’ Up! had partnered with Becky Higgins and her Project Life concept to introduce pocket style scrapbooking to our stamping’ audience. When the partnership ended Stampin’ Up! created their own line, Memories and More. I think they have done an amazing job with this product line. The price point is awesome and they are always thoughtful in the embellishment and product add-ons that you can order to take this form of memory keeping to the next level. Yes, you can keep it simple but that is not the Brenda way…if you have attended any of my classes you know this as #TRUTH! I have been running pocket style scrapbook classes for several years and would like to think I have almost perfected my craft! I offer a 6 month running class series and a couple times a year I offer an all day event. The En Route bundle (sadly now retired) is my feature for my all day class on Sunday! I wanted to give you a sneak peek of what the girls are coming and hopefully peek your interest to try my next class series!
