Another class post for Scrapbook Essentials, BC today. This one is not a Graphic 45 class, but a fun class constructing a planner from scratch using BoBunny's Sleigh Ride paper.

This four panel fold up organizer will hep you, or the person you gift this to, to be well prepared over the three months before Christmas making sure to not having to rush around at the last minute.

When opened a note pad on the left and a pocket of three calendars is revealed.

When you take out the calendars, you will find a "To Do" list on the back of each one.

Opening the next panel reveals a pocket with two mini-folders, and a flap.

The min-folders are for lists. One folder for your Christmas Card list and one for your Christmas gift giving.

Behind the flap is a general Christmas check list. You can leave the list off and place some fun photos here instead showing some of the fun you have in getting ready for your Christmas celebration.

Next you see all the panels revealed.

There is another pocket the includes a mini-folder and a large tag. These are all related to the kitchen; planning your Christmas baking, your menus for parties, and your Christmas dinner.

Lastly, there is a magnetic closure receipt envelope (you can see I misspelled it on the label. Don't know what I was thinking!)

And next you see the envelope open.

Once this is created in class, you will be able to create more and some could even be as a wedding planner...

For those that aren't local and able to attend this class, may it give you inspiration in creating your own Christmas Planner.

BRING TO CLASS: Paper trimmer, 12 x 12 score board, 2 rolls of double sided adhesive tape, liquid glue, 12" ruler, pencil, scissors, and a bone folder

This is a more intermediate/advanced class.


Happy Creating!

News and Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate Cards in a Gift Box

Hello everyone! It's Sabrina here today with some news and things to share.

When a person is running two home based businesses with two other blogs, you don't have much time to post on this creative blog. But there is news for you. I have been asked to teach classes at Scrapbook Essentials BC starting in the Fall. I'm thinking that my main focus of these classes will be working with my favorite Graphic 45 products. So that means you will be getting some more posts on this blog!

Today I am sharing the photos of a class based on the 8 x 8 pad of G45 Time to Celebrate. These six cards will be in a card box to use as a wonderful Christmas gift, or other occasion gift.

Let's begin with the card box.

And here is everything together...

Now, let's have a look at each card individually. I will show you the card itself and then a collage showing the side view to see any dimensional pop up and an inside view.

Birthday

Graduate

Celebrate

Wedding

In the collage below, I'm holding the card in hopes the clear Wink of Stella would show up. Didn't help much, but believe me when I say that you can see it in person. All the cards have some on them, but for the wedding card, the entire dress is covered in it. Wish you could see it.

Anniversary

Because  of the landscape nature of this card, I could not make a collage of these two images.

Baby

I kept everything fairly simple for this project so that we can complete the project in the time frame of this class.

This class will be in September, so if you live in the Victoria BC area, watch for the posting of more class details.

Happy creating everyone! It's nice to be back.

For Their Teenage Daughter - A Commissioned Album

I have a friend that called me up one morning wondering if I would help her. She and her husband had arranged to take their teenage daughter to a spa retreat for a couple of days, and wanted something for her to record the experience, and more life experiences, as well as include a pocket for letters from them both. I had 2 1/2 days to complete the project. My friend had mentioned this album (click here), and so I based this one on it, modifying the size.

As you can see by the photo, I decided not to attach the journaling and embellishment, but have them ready for her to attach herself as she puts her album together. Therefore all the cards, tags and punched shapes.

A ribbon closure done in a little different way. I wanted it to look like it was only tied around the cover flap, but I guess you can see the ribbon under the paper at the folds of the cover...

When opened, this is what you see.

The left holds and accordion of Stampin' Up dotted translucent bags, each with a tabbed tag in it created using the envelope punch board.

I am not going to show you each and every page of this album; just way too many of them. I did however, create outlines using either photo or journaling card templates, to give the daughter an idea of where to position them all as she assembles her album. I also added an envelope pocket here and there throughout the album as you see in the next photo. I glued the envelope shut, trimmed 1/16" off of on one side, on the front envelope side punched an oval thumb pull, and attached it to the page.

Here you can see the accordion pages created.

And lastly, and larger envelope pocket created to hold a letter from each of her parents.

Here the pocket is open.

And as usual, whenever I am creating with paper, I enjoyed doing it all. Hope there is something here to inspire your next album or scrapbooking project.

Till next time, happy creating!
