1) Changes to Paper Packets--you might notice something different about these paper packs. There are now 12 sheets of B&T paper (background & texture). Five of the sheets are double-sided = ten different coordinating patterns FUN! The remaining sheet can be cut up to use as Picture My Life (PML) cards or can be used in traditional scrapbooks. The WYW will show you how to do that! The cards are printed both horizontally and vertically to give you the most options for using them in your scrapbooks. Finally, you will note that there is no cardstock in the paper packs, but both the catalog and the zip strip on the papers lists the solid cardstock which coordinates with each collection. The WYW does include a few sheets of coordinating cardstock.
2) The WYW does not include a stamp set--which will make some of you happy and others, not so much! Remember I am talking about Workshops YOUR Way, which means you get to choose how you keep your memories. At the Scrapbook Class of WYW, we will create the three layouts together, step by step like we always have. Additionally, for those who are interested, there is a coordinating stamp set which matches the WYW, and is used to create cards and other embellishments. YOU get to choose what you want to do.
3) ANNOUNCING THIN CUTS--CTMH really thought this launch through and one of the fun new products that coordinates are called THIN CUTS. Thin Cuts are metal dies which have shapes that coordinate perfectly with the stamp set that goes with a particular WYW. They are used with my brand-new Cuttlebug and I will be teaching folks how to use it in person. Here is a quick look introducing Thin Cuts by the Home Office:
One thing I would like to point out is that the "sandwich" (how you layer the pieces of the cuttlebug and the paper and dies) is a bit different from machine to machine. I will show you the correct method at my house when we do the OPTIONAL WYW ADD-ON Crop. The Add-on Crop is where you will create items using the "leftover" pieces from the scrapbook class.
4) How I will be teaching WYW Classes--my plan is to offer both parts of the WYW classes to my customers. I love the ease of stamping as embellishing and don't want to lose that part of my crafting (somewhere Pat Sparks is in shock reading these words)! So I have decided to teach the WYW Scrapbooking Class and the WYW Optional Class!
- WYW Scrapbooking Class--in most cases these will be on Saturdays from 9a - 3p just like our other monthly project classes. For $35, you will receive the FULL WYW kit, space to work, instruction and light lunch and snacks. Occasionally, I may have to have one on a Friday night and the cost will be $30 instead and will include everything except lunch.
- WYW Optional Class--in most cases these will be held the Friday night PRIOR to the WYW Scrapbooking Class. I am trying something new for this option: purchase a value pack of White Daisy cards and envelopes for $14.95 and attend the first THREE WYW Optional Classes for FREE. This will give you your own card/envelope pack to work from and bring to each WYW Optional Class. By the end of all three you will have made 25 cards in varying themes.
5) OK, how do I know what classes/themes are when? Stick with me for one more moment. Here are the three collections in the current Seasonal Expressions catalog....introducing:
