October Scrapbook Club Layouts...Won't YOU join us?!

Happy Monday!

I have been busy creating projects and planning classes for

October. I was spoiled last week when a bit of fall decided to visit the Low Country! I brought out my jeans and sweatshirt, fall themed stamp sets, cardstock, B&T papers and ink pads and got to work.

Here are the 3- 12 x 12 layouts we will be creating at my October Scrapbook Club classes. I must send out a HUGE thank you to my dear friend, Karen, for the inspiration behind these projects.

We will be using the "Dreamin" kit. This is my FAVORITE kit in the 2011 Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I LOVE this kit. And it can be used for any season of the year!

There are so many FABULOUS embellishments that compliment this "Dreamin' kit. I love how the "Harvest Charms" (#Z1633) , Decor' Journaling Spots (#Z1461) and the Color-Ready Alphabet Cork (#Z1450) complete these layouts.

If you are not currently in one of my scrapbook clubs and would like to give it a try, please contact me to sign up. Classes are open to both members and nonmembers. The kits can also be purchased as "Kits To Go" so if you do not live local or cannot attend the classes on OCTOBER 20th (9:30 a.m and 6:30 p.m.) then you can still purchase a kit and create the projects successfully at home.

Here are the kit details:
