Scrapbook Workshop- Hopscotch!

Join me Saturday, the 28th for a fun scrapbook workshop featuring Close To My Heart's 'Hopscotch' product suite!

Bare with me here- I've changed things up quite a bit with the way I have approached scrapbooking, so this post will be a little long, but it will all make sense, I promise. Thanks for your time in reading and please, as always, just ask if you have any questions! I'm excited to get together, have some girl time and create a fun way to record you own family's history.

Here are a few things that have changed:

• This will be a 3 hour workshop and you will need all 3 hours to complete it
• You will be cutting your own pieces! It's ok, breathe....you can do it! If that is just too painful, there is an option for me to cut it for you before-hand :)
• We will all start at 10 am together- we'll start by cutting the pieces for one layout, then move to the next, etc. 
• After we have cut the pieces for each layout, then we'll stamp the images and put it all together. However, if at this point, if you need to take off, feel free to assemble everything at home if needed. 
• With each scrapbook workshop we do there will always be the Close To My Heart kit that they offer in their catalog. There will also be 1-2 other kit options to choose from; these alternative kits are something I've put together for your convenience, which either include most of the Close To My Heat kit, minus the stamp set, or a kit with more products and more layouts, stretching your product purchase even further

This time around there are 3 Kit options.

For Option #1:

Here is the Hopscotch kit that Close To My Heart (CTMH) has offered in their catalog: 

This kit makes TWO 2-page layouts with lots of leftover pieces. These are the photos for those two layouts.

The Close To My Heart Kit includes: 
1 – My Reflections™ Hopscotch Paper Packet (which is 6 solid pcs of card stock and 6 patterned)
1 – My Acrylix® Hopscotch Workshop Stamp Set
1 – Extra Cardstock Sheet (Colonial White)
1 – Hopscotch Assortment (round buttons shown above)
1 – Flaxen Extra Thick Twine 
1 – Instructional Brochure (use these instructions for future layouts as well!)

Price for Option #1- the Close To My Heart Kit: $34.00 ($29.95 plus tax and shipping)

Option #2 is the Basic Kit I've put together which includes everything above except the stamp set and instructional brochure. This kit makes the same TWO 2-page layouts and you will have leftovers.

Price for Option #2- the Basic Kit is $24.00 (tax and shipping included)

Option #3 is 'Em's Kit' which includes all of option #1 (kit with the stamp set and instructional brochure to use for further projects as well) plus the following:

-Makes two additional layouts- bringing your total to FOUR 2-page layouts!
4- Extra 12x12 cardstock sheets (2 brown and two grey)
1- Hopscotch Compliments Stickers (2 sheets 6x12)

Em's Kit Photos (Of course you can always change the placement of your accent pieces, but here is what I did):

Layout #1, which is the same as CTMH's first layout, with added 'complements' and I added a photo on the top of the left page.

Layout #2 which is the same as the second layout in the other kits...

Layout #3- I love the patterned paper of this kit but I needed a more masculine page as well, so I created this layout which is perfect for my boys.

Layout #4, using all the left over scraps from the first 3 layouts, I created this one:

As you can see 'Em's Kit' is more involved, but if you want to stretch all the pieces of your kit and get two more layouts completed all on the same day it's a great option!

The price for Option #3 is $40 (tax and shipping included), you get the stamp set, the instructional brochure, and FOUR 2-page layouts. You will have a small stash of scraps and left over stickers. 

Again, here are all 3 options:

• Option #1: Close To My Heart Kit $34.00 (their kit with stamp set, brochure, two layouts)
• Option #2: Basic Kit $24.00 (includes all the above except stamp set and brochure)
• Option #3: Em's Kit $40.00 (includes a $2 discount and is Option #1 plus the stickers and 2 extra layouts)
• If the idea of cutting your own pieces is too much this time, I am happy to cut all your pieces- just add $5 to your total. Everything would be ready to assemble and stamp when you come. 

Please RSVP by Thursday, the 19th! The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 28th from 10 am - 1pm. 

Contact me with any questions or leave a comment and I will get back to you. I hope you will join me- it will be fun!
