Swan Lake WYW kit by CTMH

Have you ever tried Close To My Heart’s

Workshop Your Way kits?

We call them WYW for short…and they are FABULOUS kits that include all the products to create (3) sets of 12x12 pages, add on Pocket Plus pages, and 8-10 cards!  Wahoo!! An amazing kit!!  

Each kit comes with a Paper Collection, extra sheets of cardstock, coordinating Complements pack, and 1-2 different types of additional embellishments.

You can see the SWAN LAKE collection kit here…It’s a GREAT deal!!

The directions, to complete these projects, are in a downloadable format, and can be found on my shopping website as you place that particular kit in your shopping cart!

Last week, I held my monthly scrapbooking class & we used the Swan Lake WYW kit!  What beautiful pages we created!!

This class chose to only make the 3 sets of layouts from the kit…but I had a surprise for them! By changing a few of the cutting directions,and adding 4 pieces of White Daisy cardstock, we were able to create a total of 4 sets of 12x12 layouts…..8 pages!!!

Let’s take a look at the pages we created….

Layout 1

Here is a close up of the “plastic” lettering that comes in the Swan Lake complements pack.  They are so light, and are just raised a bit to give some added dimension & texture to your creation!

Layout 2

Look at these BEAUTIFUL gold foil stickers that are included in the complement pack!!! Also our NEW shimmer black RIBBON….it adds so much!

Layout 3

This is the FUN page…or at least I think so! I really like the NEW product that CTMH released in August of this year…these Pocket PLUS protectors!!

These pages are little inserts that are added in between your two pages.  Our cut apart Picture My Life (PML) cards, that are included in our paper collections, fit PERFECTLY into these pockets!!

Layout 4- the layout I created with the leftover papers & I added 4 sheets of White Daisy Cardstock

So let's take a closer look….any guesses where the gold foil outlined hearts came from??

Well, it may seem a little silly ….but I couldn’t just throw away the outline of these gold foil hearts stickers!  

Scroll back up to layout 2…see the gold hearts? I used the heart stickers on that page, but then had the "leftover" outline shape of the hearts.  They were so pretty, and were gold foil, so I used my handy-dandy, non-stick, micro tip scissors, to fussy cut out these outlines & used them on the 4th layout!
