Little Stories, Big Memories: Seaside Workshop on the go, Part 1

There are several Workshop on the go sets between the Annual Inspirations and the Seasonal Expressions 2. Which by the way has some awesome new products!! Going back to the idea of the workshops, there are card and scrapbooking workshops but I'm just going to focus on scrapbooking for this post.

The workshop comes with quite a bit and you're still left with a good amount after completing two, 2-page layouts. The guide that comes with it will tell you all the supplies needed, and the measurements for cutting the paper as well as tips on creating specific techniques! It takes all the work out of it. This is great for someone who thinks that they aren't creative. You will be shown how to create the layout using Cricut cuts, or if you don't have the Cricut cartridge it shows how you can create a layout without the cartridge. Plus it provides you with an alternative layout idea inspired by layouts in the idea books! You don't have to make the layouts exactly the way they're shown too. If you tend to take more horizontal photos, adjust the layout to accommodate your particular photos. The stamp set included is a full D-size set, and it's exclusive to the workshop. In fact, that's the only way to get that particular stamp set.

If stamping doesn't interest you the paper packs are available and you can always purchase the complements or other embellishments separately.

Here's my first scrapbook layout and it's from the Seaside Workshop on the go. I'm in love with these papers! Everything can be used and you aren't going to have a ton of wasted product. Even the little zip strips that are the 1/2" of paper that has the logo and other information about the paper set, on the other side there are different patterns that can be used! The beach and being around the water is one of my favorite things so this workshop was perfect for some beach photos from last summer. Luckily the papers survived multiple attacks from an almost two year old ninja. So please ignore any creases or weird bends in the paper, thanks.

I used Pear and Glacier inks in place of Sorbet, because I thought I had that color and I don't. *Double check your supply stash before placing an order for new stuff. When I'm deciding how to cut my paper for a layout I like to use the rule measure twice, cut once. Mostly because I've got kids playing beside me or I'm multitasking while scrapping, which I don't recommend. I followed the guide pretty much for this layout and used their cutting measurements. The only thing I did differently was adjust my Colonial White cardstock so that I could use just that one sheet and save the other one for the other layouts. I chose to do it this way because I'm attempting to get three 2-page layouts from this workshop, more to come on that later. On the right page for the Polaroid looking pieces, I only put a piece of foam tape along the bottom for now. That way it'll be easier to get my photos in position and then I'll add the adhesive and foam tape. I really liked the idea the guide had of cutting the journaling area up and matting it. I've actually never done that before now, and it was really simple to make.
