One more giveaway this week – and it’s a biggie: an all-access pass to True Scrap 3 – a $127 value. One lucky reader will win full admission to this online scrapbooking event, including fifteen workshops, a range of make & take tutorials and a keynote interview with Becky Higgins, plus all the bonus materials that are available to those who purchase the full event via my blog, including
…an exclusive video extension to the Starting Points series. Over this set of videos, I’ll take you through six brand new scrapbook pages from three starting points, so you can see just how varied one page starter can be. This series of videos is only available in this offer.
…a bonus PDF printable with a dozen page sketches, perfect for taking to a crop or scrapping at home. This is also exclusive to this offer and not available elsewhere.
…a class pass to your choice of either Pretty Paper Party, True Stories, Learn Something New or Love your Pictures, Love your Pages. That means you can take your pick of paper and design tricks, journaling inspiration, a month long album class or a photography project! Depending on what you pick, that’s up to a $24/£18 value. (And if you have taken all of those classes, you can gift it to a friend and be their favourite person!)
…a bonus $5 to spend at your choice of Two Peas in a Bucket, Amazon or Starbucks. (And if you’re not in the US, that can be your currency at the Amazon or Starbucks for your country if you prefer!) Just for fun.

At True Scrap 3, I’m teaching a workshop called The Perfect Collection. It’s all about taking a collection pack and getting the most from it – like eighteen totally complete scrapbook pages. The workshop includes a forty minute video that takes you through the core concepts I use for getting the most from one set of papers without needing to buy a giant stack of premade embellishments, and includes a printable accompaniment so you can refer to an entire workbook of easy-to-follow materials. That workbook includes a cutting guide to take the fear out of chopping up your pack of patterned papers, the starting point designs for each of the layouts created by using that cutting guide AND photos of all the completed layouts. The eighteen 12×12 pages include both single and double layouts, with a mix of 4×6 and 2×3 photographs plus one larger photo.

So many times I’ve been asked to share the details of how I just start and don’t stop until every scrap is used up, so that’s exactly what’s here in The Perfect Collection. There are so many opportunities to add your own style and personality to these ideas, from the choice of your papers to your favourite punches, stamps and other little touches – yet you’ll end up with a big stack of pages that rely primarily on paper rather than expensive premade embellishments. That also means it’s perfect for any older paper collections you’ve been saving for a rainy day, since you won’t bang your head against the table for not being able to find the matching accessory products in the store now!

This strategy works equally well for one complete album with matching supplies or for pages that fit all sorts of albums and themes, as you can choose if you want to use all photos from one big event or if you would rather pick pictures from all different topics and make each page on a new subject.

Any other questions on the workshop, drop me a line and I’m happy to answer!
