For Always 7-Page Workshop and free tutorial and process videos!

 For Always 7-Page Workshop

and free tutorials and process videos!


It seems I  begin most every post with "I am so  excited to..." and though I seem like a broken record, I truly am so excited to share with you this beautiful "For Always" workshop! I  often leave my photos off of my promo artwork because I don't want other papercrafters to get a pre-conceived notion about what kind of photos and themes can go on a page or in a workshop!  For example, sometimes, if people see babies on a layout, they think it has to be babies, when often SO many other themes would work! General summer, spring, winter, or fall, family photos, girlfriend  photos or more! I want people to know that for almost every workshop, there are MULTIPLE theme and photo options.  

However, for the "For Always"  collection, I was the guest designer for CTMH and one of the requirements was to put my photos  on the pages before submitting my final  workshop.  I am so happy that it worked out to be able to feature each one  of our grown children (and their families) on one layout each and then one for myself and my  husband.  It is pretty rare for my husband to be in my public photos (although he fills our albums at home) because he is a shy rancher that prefers a quiet and private life!!  Kind of hard when you are married to an outgoing papercrafter, right??  Anyway.....I love so much about this series, from the gorgeous Black and White pattern papers to the fact that each layout has it's own coordinating color so you end up with 4 different focal colors on 4 different layouts and yet the whole workshop ties together if you want it to! It combines the For Always pattern papers, coordinating cardstocks and sticker sheet with 2 amazing stamp sets, the "Love Doily" and the "Backgrounds" stamp set to make for some amazing embellishing.  Also, for the first time ever, I have created a series of You-Tube videos to support anyone who would like to put this workshop together, step by step with me, and it's available and free on You Tube to  anyone who would like to watch and/or create with me!  You will be able to download the free guide below.

If you are creating, you can grab your supplies here or from your favorite Maker. Once you have completed your straight cutting, we will do the rest together! Simply press play on Video 1 and work through all 4 videos!  I am relatively new to public You Tube videos, although I have used You-Tube  privately for several years, so I am excited to share and begin my You-Tube journey sharing the love of  papercrafting with all of you! My videos are available to all papercrafters EVERYWHERE regardless of if or where you have purchased the supplies!  This also includes Makers so it will be a regular papercrafting party!! 

First, I will share each of the video series links here, follow with full color photos of the 4 layouts up close, then a list of all of the supplies you will need for this workshop! I  hope you will join me for all of the fun!

Please hit like, subscribe and the notifications bell on my channel.  Also, I would love for you to comment if you created with me, or if anything was helpful!  This all goes a LONG way on You-Tube and really helps me out to be able to have input for future content creating as well as to be able to reach more papercrafters on You Tube so thank you in advance for this!

Intro to "For Always" video series:

DREAM MAKER 13-Page Workshop and Invitation to the Dream Maker BASH!

             DREAM MAKER 13-Page Workshop

AND

Invitation to the DREAM MAKER BASH!




Hooray!! It's time for a BASH!! What is a BASH? A BASH is my name for an ONLINE EVENT!  I will be hosting a DREAM MAKER BASH which will be a 2-day online event in August, 2023.  We will be creating 13 gorgeous Dream Maker pages!  This is such a gorgeous set with such happy colors.  I tried to incorporate all kinds of fun technique, including stencils, inking, stamping, Cricut cuts and more!  The stamp set included in this product bundle is amazing and as you can see, makes gorgeous flowers.  You also have the option to flip papers over for other color schemes and you control the color of your flowers because you own the stamp.  I consider it totally customizeable with just a few changes.  The theme is uplifing and fun and I had an absolute BLAST creating it!  You have several options to be able to get this workshop in your hands and create these wonderful pages!  All of my "regular" options (guide option, pre-cut option, and Cricut Cut options) are available, as always.  You also have the option to join the BASH!  Here is all of the BASH information and full color photos of each of the layouts, close ups, as well as the supply list follow the BASH info.

WHEN will the BASH take place:

2. This workshop uses Cricut Cuts and the Design Space file is included in the workshop guide so you can cut them on your own.  If you want ME to cut them for you, your order must total $75.00 instead of $50 before tax, shipping and after VIP credit is applied, if applicable.  

What do I get if I register for the BASH?
1. Access to a private group by July 1st, 2023 which includes the guide.
2. Access to up to 20 hours of pre-prep guide videos to complete all of the pre-prep work needed step by step so you are ready for assembly.
