Some of you know that I am on the Design Team for my local scrapbook store, Scrapbooks Plus in Chantilly, Virginia. We just finished up our first year of Design Team work and are continuing to support the store and plan on being even more active with store events. Each month one member designs the kit for the month... picks out the papers and embellishments and packs it all up for us. The Designer of the Month also plans a class to teach at the store during their month. This is a little different from last year and should be a lot of fun! We recently had a call for new members and started year number two for the team. Last year we received kits on the first of the month and had two weeks to work on our projects and bring them back to the store. Now we are doing our reveal on the first of the month... so we just brought in our projects yesterday, which means that I have some new projects to share!
This month we had the Marrakech line from Basic Grey... a Morrocan inspired line of oranges and blues. The colors were beautiful and versatile too. I only need to make 4 items each month... one 1-page layout, one 2-page layout, one altered item, and one card... but I rarely do the minimum. Once I start pulling out photos that look good with the paper, I just keep going until it's pretty much used up. Besides, I'd rather have too much than too little. This time I had an extra four 1-page layouts and an extra card. Sometimes I see what everyone else has made and then pick what goes up on the wall... especially if one of my layouts uses a paper that wasn't used as much or an embellishment in a different way. We are trying to give customers ideas... so I don't want to repeat the same look if possible! :)
A few of my items are still on my camera... but here's what I've got on the computer so far. I'll put the rest up this weekend.
My 2-page layout of the hotel in Copacabana. I have some notes that will probably go on my hidden journaling on the Scrapbooks Plus DT Blog.
A 1-page layout of the fences in Bolivia. The bottom right is the gate at Sergio's grandparents farm... the other two were in Copacabana.
A 1-page layout of A~ in Kansas a couple of years a ago. Luckily we got this shot before security came over to say that the kids all needed to get down! Oops... missed that sign, officer! :)
My altered chalkboard... a $2.50 steal from the Target dollar spot:
A 1-page layout of the sunset over Lake Titicaca:
I'll post some more later! Have a great week!
much love,
