Introducing my new Later Sk8er Workshop and Cutting Files!

I know several of you have seen my sneak peeks over the last few weeks, and I hope the final result is all that you anticipated!  I can finally say my new Later Sk8er Picture My Life 10 Layout Workshop and Cutting Files are finished!  (Note: to see the layout collection in a larger view, click on the photo and it will open in a new window.

This was a "huge" project for me and I must say that I am very delighted with the end result! 

So what makes this different than your previous workshops?  

Selections offerings:  This workshop is structured differently than workshops that I have taught before.  There are three options.

1.  You may take part in the actual class (Part one - offered at the Holiday Inn in Harrisonburg on Saturday, June 6th from 1-4 and Part two - offered at the Hill's in Broadway on Sunday, June 14th from 1-4PM) with one of the kit options below ----OR----

2.  You may make a $25 purchase (before shipping and tax) on my website (www.tonyasheridan.ctmh.com) and I will send you an e-file with the Workshop Instructions

 and Cutting Instructions for your use.  Then, you can create the layouts at your own pace.  Note: for sister/brother consultants, I will also include a copyright release so that you can offer the workshop in part, or in full, to your own customers.

3.  Purchase the supplies (either partial -- exceeding $25--or in full) from me directly and receive the e-files.

Materials used:

Retired Later Sk8er B and T (patterned paper) - 2 sheets.  Alternate option- print these two sheets in CTMH's Studio J, substitute another B and T paper from a current paper pack with the same colors or Cardstock.

Exclusive retired and Speciality Bundle-  because some of the speciality items are from larger packs, I have created a speciality bundle that has the pieces that are needed to create the layouts. Understanding that you are receiving just the items from the packaging that you need, you are literally saving well over $100.  Available in limited supply, this bundle includes:  2 sheets of  Later Sk8er patterned paper, bulk Grey and White Baker's Twine, bulk White Enamel Stars, a full pack of Green and Blue Epoxy Bubbles, bulk Seaside and Coral Sequin Assortment, bulk Teal Shimmer Trim, bulk Black Arrow Washi Tape, Outdoor Denim Tiny Alphabet Epoxy Bubbles, Green Glitter Paper, Pear and Outdoor Denim Paper Fundamentals,  bulk Pro-Player metals and bulk Aqua Dots. Essentially, this bundle includes everything needed to create the layouts with the exception of the PML Cards and Cardstock.  $35.00.  (Add $5 for shipping if applicable).

Complete kit - with ALL of the needed supplies.  Like everything in one place?  This is a great option for just you!  The kit will include all of the cardstock, speciality items and the exclusive retired bundle needed to create all 10 layouts!  Eliminates the endless searching to find all of the used supplies, purchasing larger packs of cardstock that will only be partially used and is offered at a small discount as a benefit of purchasing the entire kit.  $80.00.  (Add $8 for shipping if applicable.)

  

You may order directly on my website, directly with me, or if you already have the products on hand you can use those, or similar items to create the layouts.  You may choose to substitute solid cardstock for the speciality paper to lower the cost of the supplies if desired.  The same would go for the retired items.  For retired items, an alternate option is also listed if you choose not to purchase the bundle, or once the bundles are sold out. 

Supplies needed to create the layouts:

Liquid Glass (for adhering Sequins)

Bonding Memories Dual Action Glue Pen

3-d Foam Tape

Fine Tip Scissors

Corner Rounder

Adhesive of Choice

12" x 12" paper trimmer

Not required, but would be helpful:  How-To books- Make It From Your Heart Vol. 1 and 2 and Imagine.

CHOICES!  The Ala Carte Picture My Life kits include:

44 - 4" x 6" Cards (2 each of 22 designs)

78 - 3" x 4" Cards (3 each of 26 designs)

That being said, the possibilities are endless!  Note, that in the Workshop Kit, there are 2 Soccer layouts, 1 Baseball layout and 1 Basketball layout.  The sports cards are in the same quantities so, you can modify the Soccer layout to a Football layout simply by interchanging the cards.  Not in need of the "sports" themed cards - use the more general cards for the same layouts!  So many choices!  And you will have extra cards left that can be added, used in additional layouts, for greeting cards, lunch box notes etc.  Plus, the awesome thing about the PML cards is that they are uniform in style so you can certainly use these cutting guides, with substitutions for colors etc and use with the Seaside, Chantilly or any of our other sets of cards - which opens an entirely new ream of possibilities!  Truly there is no limit!

Here is just a sampling of the Later Sk8er Picture My Life cards:

On-line Coaching!  Should you get "stuck", I am available to help!  Simply, send me an e-mail and I will talk you through the obstacle at hand!  

Visualization.  Some scrappers like to see layouts without pictures so they can vision their own photos and stories on the pages while others prefer to see the layouts complete with photos, titles and journaling. Both are available with this workshop kit.  Each day this week, I will post a completed layout with the original one here on my blog so you can see how I placed the photos etc.  As they are posted, links will also be added to this post for easy reference. 

Here is a closer look at the layouts in the workshop kit:  (note: for larger views, click on the photos and they will open in larger windows)

Layout 1:  Boys Will Be Boys

Layout 2:  Game Over.

Layout 3:  Wow!  Superheros.

Love Your Layout: February 2013

This month's Love Your Layout tutorial is fantastic!  Wish I had known it was coming and watched it BEFORE I ironed out the details to create my own layout!  But it makes the creation of the layout so much easier!

I was fascinated with the Later Sk8er Studio J layout that is in the new Spring 2013 Idea Book.  It is just so boy!  I created the layout for my boys in a afternoon! 

I will be introducing a new Studio J Club for my clients later this weekend but this layout, and this format will be a teaser for you!  Check out the exciting details later this weekend!

You can see this layout in a larger view by clicking the layout itself.

Aren't the gears so cool? Artiste' special and new class announced!

 

I have received so many e-mails and comments about the Cricut cut gears used in my two most recent layouts, "Polar Roller" and "Holy Derby Batman!" that I have decided to "Gear Up" and offer a special promotion in conjunction with the release of Close To My Heart's Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book!  So, all you Cricut lovers let's get this Idea Book into Gear!

 

Beginning at 12:01am on February 1, 2013 and continuing through Friday, February 8th at 11:58 PM when you purchase the Artiste' Cricut Cartridge ($112.21 after shipping and tax) I will add $25 of new Close To My Heart product to your order for free! The free product must be selected at the the time that the cartridge is ordered.  Use this to add the fun new Later Sk8er Paper Pack, the Blue and Green Epoxy Bubbles and the coordinating In Gear Stamp set (so you can Cricut cut the gears, then stamp a coordinating image on them) or choose something else that suits your rugged, or sassy, style.  The choice is yours!  You can will be able to view the entire new Idea Book on my website on February 1st at:  www.ctmh.com/tonyasheridan. And if you don't have your very own copy of the Idea Book, I will also add one to your order for free!

 

To take advantage of this awesome "Gear Up" savings, orders should be e-mail directly to me at: inallsassiness@gmail.com.  I will send you an invoice that you can pay with any debit or credit card and then your order will be sent directly to your home.  I can also accept Personal Checks or cash however for non-local customers, I will need to wait for the check to clear before I can ship your order. 

 

So Gear Up and let's get the Idea Book release party started!

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I have also decided because of the numerous requests that I have received to offer a class for these two layouts that I will offer it in the form of a kit for my clients as a part of my Sassfully Chirping Cricut Class Series.  In the kit, you will receive:

 

J-Pegs with color photos and detailed step-by-step instructions to create both of the layouts.

Note:  You will have ample supplies left over to complete at least one more additional layout, cards and or other projects.  Note:  the titles are not included in the cost of the kit.  If you would like your title cut out for you (as in the Batmobile layout), please indicate the size and title when  placing your order and I will be glad to cut it for you and include it in your kit at no additional cost.

 

If you would like to combine this exclusive class kit with the purchase of the Artiste' cartridge promotion above, you may do so and then just pay the $20 difference.

Later Sk8er - Nicholas' version

Here is the the 2nd layout that I created using Close To My Heart's new paper collection Later Sk8er that will be released on February 1st.  The gears, the gear border, and the title were all cut out with the Artiste' Cricut Cartridge.

 

The journaling was created with Close To My Hearts new Z1834 Tiny Type Epoxy Alphabet (to be released Feb 1st).  It reads "Pinewood Derby.  4th Place Champ.  So Much Pride."

a Sneak Peek...at Later Sk8er! Gabey Style.

So, here it is!  My official "sneak peek" at one of Close To My Heart's new Spring/Summer Paper collections Later Sk8er that will be released on February 1st. 

 

As a mom of two little boys, I have to tell you, this paper collection is a MUST HAVE for scrapbooking boys!  The papers are brilliant and bright!  Featuring the shades of:  Lagoon, Outdoor Denim, Pear, Slate and White Daisy...they just shout all boy from the rooftops!

 

So the first layouts that I created are of my boys and their first Pinewood Derby Races.  This is Gabey Luke's layout.  Notice that his Derby car is a Polar Bear (I know, for those that know him...go figure right?).   The fun in this layout is definitely in the details!  And to make this collection, there is a corresponding key on Close To My Heart's Artiste' cartridge!  BONUS!

 

The journaling reads: 

"Gabriel's first Pinewood Derby brought much pride and excitement for the boys.  Gabriel was the designer and architect of his Polar Bear car.  He definitely should have earned an award for the most creative/unique car (of course, that is just Mommy's opinion!)!

When asked how he created his Derby car, this is what Gabriel explained:  "I drawed the car on the paper.  Then Daddy copied it on the block of wood.  Daddy cut my car with the saw.  Grandaddy watched.  Then we painted my car white.  Next, Grandmommy drawed it on the white car and then she painted Percy's face and paws.  Then we added the wheels and my car was ready to race.  When my car raced, my car always got in second place and in the last race it got in last place."
