September Workshop Update

Earlier this month, Bliss and I spent a Saturday morning trying to prep for this month's calendar workshop.  We knew we were going to use the Cricut for the designs, but sometimes the hardest part is narrowing down all our favorite images and selecting the best one to represent each month!  I was also tasked with producing samples and testing out different sizes that would work on a 4.5"x6.5" photo mat.  Sometimes it takes a little trial and error, so be sure to use scratch paper for your initial cuts.

This is the Cricut 2 Creative Memories offered for a limited time.
I'm so bummed I didn't get one...

Part of the art of "Cricut-ing" is understanding how to work with the different layers.
Trust me, I'm still learning. 

Last week, Bliss got started on her samples, so here are her first two months.  Our goal is to try to incorporate short phrases or sayings into each month to give our 2013 calendar a different look.  I love the bold colors of the Color Vibe stack pack and the funky artwork of the "Be Young" Cricut cartridge... so excited to work on my samples!

We are excited to finish 2012 strong with a fun series of workshops.... For September, we'll be getting ready for the new year a little earlier, as we'll create a 2013 edition of our PicFolio Calendar tradition. Our inspiration for this calendar are the hip designs of the "Be Young" Cricut cartridge.  Hope you can join us to make a calendar for yourself or as a gift!
