Hopscotch Flip Flap Workshop

Do you suffer from photo overload?  Are you the type of person who likes to take a ton of pictures and fit them ALL onto your pages?  If so, then be sure to join in this month's scrapbook workshop where I will teach you how to create an interactive layout using Flip Flaps to add more photos to your pages.

2 Page Layout-Both Pages Closed

This month's project was inspired by the super-talented Lisa Stenz.  You can view her blog HERE.

To create this project, you will be using products featured in the Seasonal Expressions catalog, which is available through March 31, 2015.  The Hopscotch line is a favorite of mine!  The colors are so bright and cheerful, perfect for any Springtime activity or event.  By adding several sizes of Flip Flaps this 2 page layout will hold 32 photos!    

Left Page-Flaps Open

Right Page-Flaps Open

Several of the photo mats and Picture My Life cards are placed inside of Flip Flaps, which lift up, allowing you to add more photos underneath.  

In addition to the Flip Flap layout, I've also created a traditional 2 page layout to go along with it.

I will be hosting this workshop on March 22, 2015 from 2-6pm, at my home in Choconut, PA.  If you would like to participate, I will need your RSVP and payment by March 8th.  The cost is $40 and includes the following supplies;

• X7194B Hopscotch Level 2 Paper Pack 
• X7194C Hopscotch Complements

• Z1325 Flip Flaps 12" Asst.
• 5  4x6 Flip Flaps
• 2  12x12 Memory Protectors
• 1 Sheet Gold Sequins
• Extra Cardstock
• My Cutting Guide

You will need to BYO Basics-paper trimmer, scissors, adhesives, glue dots, 3D foam tape, black journaling pen etc.  This is a rather lengthy workshop.  Please note that I have allowed 4 hours to complete the project, but it will be so worth your time!  You are going to love Flip Flaps when you're finished!
