You & Me Extra Projects!

For those of you that purchased the National Scrapbooking Month You & Me I have two extra projects for you!  Included in your kit is one sheet of 12"x12" Colonial White cardstock.  Before stamping on the cardstock be sure to cut an 8.5"x 11" piece from it.  Then cut that 8.5"x11" piece in two.  Place your paper into paper trimmer where it is longer horizontally (11") and cut in half at the 5.5" marker.  This will give you two 5.5"x4.25" pieces.  Fold each in half to make a standard A2 card.  You'll have plenty left to stamp what you need for the workshop.

Now, complete your You & Me layouts according to the instructions! 

With the left over scraps and embellishments you'll be able to create two beautiful cards.  For my cards I chose Collage from Wishes (pg.97) and Buckle from Originals (pg. 82).  I used both of these patterns for my inspirations but deviated from the actual measurements to use what I could of my scraps and the included stamp set.  Follow my samples or make your own!
