Living my dream

Formalising things. Kits, teaching, want to know more?

Hi. For anyone growing with my scrapbook journey over the years. You'll have seen me start scrapping in a very simple way. Eventually learning what style I love and then seeing it grow from a hobby into a small business. Teaching. Running scrapbook events. Selling kits.

I have grown so much over the years and have even more to share as this year I sell kits on a regular basis and have a stand at SENZ also selling kits.

On top of this, I continue to teach and am looking forward to some wonderful events coming up in the next 6-12 months. Including a fabulous cruise next year. I hope you can join me at one or more of these events!

As part of this, I've rebranded and will be adding a website under my new name "Trina McClune Designs" or TMD for short.

Over the next little while you can also watch out for a new facebook craft page and a regular newsletter which will tell you what I'm up to and what kits I'm releasing.

It's going to take me a bit to set everything up, and what a fun time I'm going to have following through on this extended journey. But in the meantime, I'd love to include you in my newsletter. To do this, just flick me an email with the subject "Newsletter" and I'll add your email address to my database and thus the newsletter which will come out at regular intervals telling you what kits I have for sale, when/where I'll be teaching and of course if there are any events like SENZ where I'll be selling my kits.

Just up the top of this page to the right hand side is a link to my email. Click on that and you're half way there (I've since been advised my link only works with outlook. If you have another programme apart from outlook, just copy and paste the link there).

I can't wait to hear from you.

 

**SOLD OUT** April Kit for sale - Using BoBunny, Garden Journal

This month I have another great kit for sale! In the kit, you will get instructions for not only a double layout but a single layout as well. 

I have used the gorgeous Garden Journal Collection from BoBunny and am thrilled with the results.

Ok, can I tell you a little secret? I made this double layout because I originally made a single and wasn't quite sure about it. So decided I'd do something different and came up with this. 

My plan for the double was to play around with 'white space'. Create a basic design but then make it interesting by adding 'designed gaps'. I think it's worked quite well.

I have adored working with BoBunny's chipboard pieces, noteworthy items and of course papers.

And you guessed it, the single layout, is the one I mentioned above. I asked Sarah and Matt if they liked the layout and they both did, so I decided why not throw in instructions for it as well.

Here it is:

I have recently remembered why I love to scrapbook. And apart from the creative side, I value the stories so much that I've decided to try and get more stories in my work. You'll see I've done it on both of these items (you may remember the photo from a couple of days ago on facebook).

As always with my kits there is a ton of product inside each one (in fact plenty left over for more designs than just these). However you will need some basics of your own to complete the kits...

Your basic scrapbooking kit which includes things like glue/scissors etc. 

Black ink*

Texture Paste*

Photos

Sandpaper*

Liquid Pearls*

The ones with * beside them mean that you can still complete the layout without these items, but it will give the layout/s more dimension if you are able to use these items in their creation.

The price of the kit is $55 plus postage a standard $8.50 for 1-3 kits. Any more in one shipment and I'll need to get you a separate quote.

If you'd like to buy a kit, please flick me a message on the facebook page post, or email me (the links above).

Kits will be ready to post on Tues (due to easter). Oh but I will be at AE if you'd like to save postage, I can deliver personally if you're also attending.

Thanks so much!
