Beary Christmas Mini Album Workshop

I can't tell you how excited I am to release this workshop...a Beary Christmas Mini Album Workshop! I have wanted to create a Christmas Mini Album for a long time it just took me awhile to figure out how to create the workshop so it is super user friendly and still super cute!! I think I managed to make that happen. 

I decided the best way to show everyone the album would be with a quick video. So here we go....

Hope that helps!

I do have a few different workshops at this time of the year. One of my favorite ones is the "Calendar Class". Everyone needs a new calendar! I have designed a Workshop project that customers can do together or at home alone. 

The workshop is created around Close To My Hearts Flip Stand, a great product that is sometimes over looked. The general idea of the workshop is that everything is pre-cut and ready to go. The kit including the FlipStand is $30 (and must be local) or you can order your own Flip Stand a purchase the workshop kit for $15+shipping. Now the photos....

 The kit includes a cardstock background, a MyReflections paper front, a colour cardstock mat, a monthly calendar and a mat. The matted piece above the calendar can be used for a photo or stamped for decoration. Everyone can then use their own embellishment to decorate how they wish.

It is a wonderful way to spend an evening with some friends! 

Close To My Heart products used are......

•  Designed Decor Flip Stand Album
• Close To My Heart Cardstock in various colours
• My Reflections paper packs
• Bonding Memories glue
• 3L Easy Dots or Duck EasyStick Adhesive

I am sure you are aware by now that the current Spring/Summer Close To My Heart Idea Book is retiring at the end of July.  I can always tell what I am going to miss at this time because it is the "item or items" that I am hoarding. This time it was the Lollydoodle collection. I love it all! I put together a mini album that was inspired by one that Vicki Wizniuk made from the "Free to Be Me Collection" - here is a link. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to try something similar. So I set to work.

This is the album before photos....

 My summer album is a Flip Stand Album! Sometimes I think people just flip (no pun intended) right by them in the Idea Book they are on page 77 and only $12.95. What a deal!

The first thing I did was an an overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to the back insert.

Then I set to designing the flip pages, they are mostly from the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge. My husband picked out all the photos he wanted featured as it is for his desk at work. He changes the top page everyday depending on his mood. There is even a page where I am featured. I am trying to remember to add myself into my projects!

Enjoy! Chris
