Color Tags & DIY Mini-Album

I am excited that Nic Howard will be teaching another class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. This new workshop is called Colour! Or Is It Color? It is a 6-week workshop beginning October 28.  (Registration is still open if you're looking for a great class for the fall!) For the pre-class assignment, we received instructions to make six color tags - one for each color of the rainbow that we will be studying during the workshop. These tags were fun to make and I'm looking forward to learning how to better use color in my scrapbooking when the workshop starts next month.

Listening to an episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable a few days ago, I was inspired to start a mini-album documenting our Do-It-Yourself projects. I purchased a denium covered 8x8 Paper Studio post bound album to house these layouts and plan to embellish the cover. I am going to include two-page spreads highlighting items that Robbie and I have made or frequently make. Here is my first layout, highlighting the diaper cakes that I make for baby shower gifts. I used DCWV Matchmakers Scalloped cardstock for the background, cut my letters using the Makin' the Grade Cricut cartridge, copied and reduced the diaper cake "recipe" and added a journaling block.

 I'm off now to browse a few blogs and scrapbook galleries in search of inspiration for my next layout!
