The kit costs €10 plus postage and contains full instructions (with photos) to create these two gorgeous layouts. The kit contains paper and diecuts and all you'll need to have in order to complete the layouts is some glue, a paper trimmer, craft knife, scissors and some brown ink. If you have a white gel pen and a black felt tip pen you can add extra highlights to the layout also. Layout 1 is suitable for a 5" x 7" portrait format photo while Layout 2 would suit some small business card sized photos.<br />

If you're new to scrapbooking or even if you've been papercrafting for years and are feeling low on inspiration then sketches can really revive your creativity. You simply take a look at the sketch, grab a bunch of your favourite supplies and then decide if you want to literally interpret the sketch or use it loosely inspire you. Go on, we challenge you, get over to the SS blog and get scrapping!<br />

Our May 29th 2014 Workshop ... that's what! I'm delighted to announce that our May 2014 Workshop will take place next Thursday 29th May 2014 from 7pm to 10pm in <a href="https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Holychild+Church/@53.3834098,-6.241701,17z/data=!4m7!1m4!3m3!1s0x48670e198a2903e3:0xc0367ef7414d305e!2sThe+Thatch+Road!3b1!3m1!1s0x0:0xbffe65dce189356b" target="_blank">Whitehall Parish Centre, Dublin 9</a>.

<br />
These papers are really beautiful with a range of colours within the same collection including pinks, blues, oranges and greys and with some gorgeous unusual patterns too.<br />
<br />
We'll be using a selection of the papers to create 2 beautiful layouts with an open theme so they can be adapted to suit any of your photos. All you will need to bring along on the night are some cutting tools and adhesives and we'll supply you with all the papers and stickers you'll need to complete both layouts. The Workshop is suitable for anyone with a basic knowledge of papercrafts (if you can use a paper trimmer and scissors - that means you!) and you don't need to bring along any photos as these can be added at a later time if you wish.<br />
<br />
This is a great opportunity to get started and learn the skills of scrapbooking or if you're an intermediate or advanced scrapbooker - a chance to add two new layouts to your scrapbook! If you fancy a night out just for yourself, to relax and use the crafty side of your brain, then come along for some great company, cakes and tea!<br />

It was a fast-paced, creativity filled few hours and every time I looked, everyone was busy cutting, pasting, die-cutting and generally enjoying the crafty fun. Maria inspired everyone with her enthusiasm and showed everyone how to create three gorgeous layouts and most people finished two, with enough to take away to finish the third. To inspire you to finish off everything, we’re posting the finished layouts here for you to see. All of the Workshop kits are sold out but we have some <a href="www.thescrapbookstore.ie/websterspagessundaypicniccollectionkit-p-2951.html">Webster’s Pages Sunday Picnic Collection Kits in stock</a>. Looking forward to our next Workshop, Thursday June 21st at 7pm, if you’d like to book a place, details will be on the blog about two weeks before the date with online booking available then. Alternatively, <a href="http://www.thescrapbookstore.ie/mailing-list.php">join up for our newsletter</a> to be notified of upcoming events and new products arriving in store.

You could also use pink, orange or cream flowers.</li> <li>One 4x6 photo (portrait) – Maria cropped the one on the layout to 4"x 5" portrait.

For the month that's in it, we'll be hopefully brightening up the dark evening by using the new Basic Grey Picadilly Collection of papers and embellishments.</p> <p>The kit (seen below) includes: 6 sheets of Basic Grey Picadilly 12" x 12" double sided papers, 1 sheet of BG Picadilly Elements Stickers and 1 pack of Basic Grey Picadilly Petals.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0qzdpmpYeV8dLrDsu8IMCDn4OfAdQcU9htba_H2xVcPMu9TU0Vf7Sh_Z8L7h_zOJTQbD46pyx0qHwvogwRJIx9eKGf99vOALw2rWASoMBkVY17DAk1ZxsKne2mhdHIzKpSwC8nQ/s1600-h/November%252520Workshop%252520Kit%252520800px%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="November Workshop Kit 800px" alt="November Workshop Kit 800px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIu7nNGfuoDIyZEVSJNYp5qMqbzEv4_NPoMr7qyLOh2_sa6P4DZIXFLNhUfhqth7UYyGVPpa2mS3NVL8j2EyKhyot6g6WBneN1jC5lwbu15lSHBL6atRQT4zqh1uvfDzk0TwNgKw/?imgmax=800" width="640" height="306"></a></p> <p>This month, we’re creating two layouts:</p> <p><br>The first layout is open themed, with a blue colour scheme so it would suit photos with blues, reds and yellows in them. I used two 4” x 6” portrait format photos with white borders in this layout. I chose pictures of a little boy wearing a blue babygro against a blue background for this layout.<br></p> <p>The second layout is again open themed with a green and red colour scheme so it would suit photos with greens, reds and blues in them. For this layout I used a 4” x 6” landscape format photo (no border) but you could use two 4” x 6” landscape format photos instead. I chose a close up photo of a little girl wearing green and sitting on a red slide for this layout.<br></p> <p><strong>You’ll also need to bring the following:<br>A paper trimmer<br>Glue<br>Foam Pads<br>A 1.5” circle punch<br>Green Ink (I used Versa Tea Leaves)<br>A white gel pen and a thin black felt tip pen<br>a small piece of sandpaper or a sanding tool<br>Red alphabet stickers (I used Basic Grey Jovial stickers) to add a title. It’s a great chance to use up those alpha stickers you have hanging around so bring along a selection of browns, blues, greens, yellow or black too.<br></strong></p> <p>Workshop places cost €25.00 and can be booked online <a href="http://www.thescrapbookstore.ie/thescrapbookstoreienovember17thworkshopticket-p-2891.html">HERE</a> or paid for on the night.

The beauty of creating this heart (or you could make a flower, star etc.) is that once you've done it and saved it to your pc you can change the colour and text very easily and adapt it for use in lots of projects.</p> <p><strong><u>To Create the Card I used:</u></strong></p> <ul> <li>The new <a href="http://www.thescrapbookstore.ie/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=sweetness"><strong>Pink Paislee Sweetness Collection (available now at TheScrapbookStore.ie)</strong></a> for the background (Yellow), foreground (Blue with roses), accordian flower, and the individual flower on the edge of the heart was cut from the blue with roses sheet.</li> <li>The Martha Stewart Flower Bed Deep Edger Punch to create the accordian flower.</li> <li>A piece of Bazzill Grosgrain Ribbon</li></ul> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Vd-WgxRiY3I/TS2mAmBnJ2I/AAAAAAAACAk/I6KoRTaL-lc/s1600-h/MeYou7.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Me & You" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT7ODCXHj7TQ1n6Y8ZvbnzqvwxIBs009R4tMYpN5v8fWcWw22bfH07_ZF1wm-sHRHcDnMdbO7RyHtnjMhMHCF_gF2HRUv6PcQqaEDDT2zWG00cp4jjq5ar2GD4X0WtcSRJm9RHgA/?imgmax=800" width="404" height="404"></a></p> <p><strong><u>To Create the Heart you'll need:</u></strong></p> <ul> <li>A piece of white cardstock <li>A computer with colour printer <li>Software e.g. Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements</li></ul> <p><strong><em>Note: I also used some shading and overlay effects on this heart but the following tutorial is for a simple coloured heart without effects.

It now shows a new layer with a heart shape and beside the shape it shows a colour swatch (the default colour is black). <li>To change the colour of your heart simply double click in the colour swatch box and pick your colour using the colour picker or by dialling in an RGB reference or # number.
