Sail Away with Tommy

So, I'm having trouble today with my google+.  It seems that when you update your Flash player, all hell breaks loose. So, please excuse my terrible pictures today.

Anyways...Onto the fun stuff!

I love the Tommy papers in the new Close to my Heart Idea Book. Living on a a lake provides ample opportunity for water sports of all types, especially sailing.  This little butterfly was given to Mark by his parents.  So, on the days that are windy, and waterskiing is impossible, my husband releases his stress by sailing away...

for a little while anyways:)

 The Mini-Medley Accents Wooden Collection add such a great feeling of texture to this layout.  I love how the swirls look like waves on a windy day.

Chantilly Cards

I had a very relaxing time with a few wonderful ladies last Thursday.  We created these cards using the beautiful Chantilly papers and a few different stamp sets. What a great way to spend a chilly evening.

Scrapbook Classes Coming Soon to Scrapbook Garden

I was asked by a local scrapbooking store, Saranac Paper Garden, to teach a scrapbooking class.  Since I love creating scrapbook pages, and I love teaching too, I jumped at the chance and whipped these pages up!  

These papers are from the retired line, Sonoma, by Close to my Heart. The charms and My Stickease are coordinating accessories that were also available with the kit.  

It's sure to be a fun time learning new techniques, getting some pages done, and meeting others whom love to papercraft as much as I do!

If you'd like to create these pages or find out more about the monthly Layout Class, contact me (kelly.m.maatman@gmail.com, 616-406-8312) or contact the Scrapbook Garden for any questions.

These classes will be held monthly on the third Thursday with two time slots 1:30pm and 6pm.  Space is limited and so is kit availability, so sign up soon because it's filling fast!
