Attic Wednesday Sketch Challenge #21

Have you ever done a Round "Map"...or sketch?? Don't be thrown off by it's "roundness".....ha!  that would make a GREAT hallmark card wouldn't it! :) :)   Anyway, back to the subject at hand....the Wednesday Sketch Challenge.....i like to mix things up a bit every once in awhile.....but if you're not into the ROUND of it all....take that away - or layer it with a large ROUND background on top of your cardstock!!  Thing OUTSIDE the traditional CIRCLE! :)

This sketch comes from Page Maps....and your WORDS of wisdom:  "Somewhere in the middle of our everyday world, you have made my life EXTRAordinary!"...i love this!!  (scrapbook.com)  I love reading something like that statement and having the PERFECT picture, or subject, or occassion come to mind and it all comes together!!  Hope these wednesday challenges are doing "somethin' " like that for you!!

Hope you have a great wednesday.....don't forget - no rules - you can post these on our facebook page....check out the AWSC posts from weeks past for more details and information!!!

August COPIC Club Meeting!

ATTENTION!!!  You're not gonna want to miss out on this!!!

The first Saturday in June (our SuperScrappinSaturday!) we had a FREE make n take using these GREAT COPIC markers!!!  This was kind of a "trial" test to see what kind of interest was out there from ya'll!!!  It was VERY well received!!  We completed the MOST make & takes EVER...a HUGE thank you to Angie for "slavin' " away all day doing those!!!

THEN....last month we held 2 COPIC CURIOSITIES classes, giving you even MORE information and knowledge using your COPIC markers!!  

 this is a sneak of the card you'll be working on for the AUGUST meeting!

Attic Kit Club Sneakie Poo!! :)

We've had an overwhelming response to our monthly kits....it's been AWESOME to see the excitement of all of our subscribers and all the fun that they're having with the kit each month!  (and SO are WE!!).....we do make EXTRA kits, for those of you that might want to just "try" it out before you dive in to a subscription!!  AND - you can ALWAYS PRE-order the next month, by calling or emailing the store and we'll reserve an extra one for ya!!!

Sooo, because i actually have some *extra* time on my hands this month, i thought i'd give you a little sampling of the August kit!!  I can't guarantee i'll be able to do this each month (it's a time thang, ya know!!)....so i hope you  ENJOY!!!  Each month we include a 2 page 12x12 COLOR copied insert in your kit!!  This insert looks something like this....

We include all the layouts that WE have created/designed using the same kit, for your reference, inspiration or just for viewing pleasure!!!  We don't give step by step instructions for each layout, giving you the freedom to make it your own...but we DO give you a tip or technique for each layout!  Sometimes even just a little somethin' that we learned using a new tool or trial and error!!

Each monthly kit varies in variety!!  There's always *at least* 2 alphabets, dimensional and flat embellishments.  We always complete AT LEAST 8 12x12 layouts.  The past three months we have accomplished FOURTEEN layouts!!  That's prettttty darn cool, if you ask me!!  All of these great layouts in ONE bag!!  The ONLY thing that is NOT included in our Monthly Kit is the cardstock that we use to complete the layouts.  We offer it separately as an "add on"....allowing you to choose from your OWN cardstock selection OR purchasing all of ours in one pkg!!  PLUS, we try to work a month AHEAD....allowing you to "plan" for your holiday/seasonal pictures!!!  So, for example, we did some patriotic/4th of July related paper and bellies in June!

We have quite a few subscribers that save all their kits for a weekend crop!!  This way, they don't have to THINK about matching paper with cardstock and embellishments - you can just grab your kits & pictures - throw them in your tool bag and you're set to accomplish GREATNESS!! :)

Here are a few "sneaks" from the AUGUST kit....i can't show you too too much, because that's one of the perks of being a subscriber, ya know!! ; )

 

And here are a FEW of the items that are included inside the AUGUST kit!  Our "theme" (if you will) was Birthdays....we're celebrating our FIRST year as a kit club!! :)  YEAH!!  But, as you can see from a few of the layouts that we completed....the product that we chose does not FORCE itself to be Birthday themed!  (and this is the same for all of our kits!!)

 OKay...so hopefully this will give you a little "peak" into a sampling of whats in our monthly kit club!!  We do make "extra" kits for those that like to take a chance each month!!  As of right now we only have 6 remaining to sell!!  We have all of the layouts that we create each month, hanging on our "Attic Monthly Kit Wall" each month....come in and check them out if you're in the area....if you're not - we will GLADLY ship!! ;)
