Do you remember a paper pack from way back called “Tutti Frutti”? I know, it’s been awhile, LOL. I was preparing my things from an upcoming crop event and stumbled over the scrapbooking workshop kit for this set. Now while I could have just created the 3 layouts as intended, I figured I challenge myself to see how far I can get with this set and just a few extra sheets of cardstock. I added 4 white, 2 capri and 1 pansy to the mix. I used up the entire sticker sheet and ended up stamping a couple images for the last layout to embellish.
I created a total of 5 double page layouts and I still have some papers left to make one more …. Oh and almost an entire package of the little shaker elements seen sprinkled over the pages and in the shaker element.
How would be interested to see a video or two about changing an entire workshop into more than just the 3 double page layouts it calls for? Comment below and let me know.💕

This month the paper collection “Sweet Memories” is the featured paper of the month. It is such a beautiful paper collection with soft colors and shabby chic design as well as some simple prints. Love the combinations and paired with our Mix-In papers from the Jan-Feb Idea Book they make the perfect base for lots of cards or many more layout. Use grey or mist for neutral support. You can lean more towards the pink/mullberry for a more feminin touch or you pick the periwinkle/ sage colors for a more masculine outcome. Either way this paper works with a lot of different occasions.
Here are just a few products in the “Sweet Memories” line.. https://claudiahenderson.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=feb24
