Out of Print Mini Album, with Maresa



Another date will be added, stay tuned for further details

Continuing my love affair with Basic Grey Out of Print paper... this little album is a marvel. It features all sorts of pockets, tags and flip pages that will fit 4"x6" photos, and the binding is constructed in such a way that your book won't "sit funny" when you fill it up. You won't believe how much you can put into it!

You will learn clever, but insanely simple, techniques that will allow you to modify, expand, and add to the basic design. Before you know it, you will be designing your own albums. There are no rules with this album, and each person will end up with an album that is unique to its creator. As usual, there will be a complete tutorial, chock full of photos, for you to have for future use.

Date: Saturday September 3, 2011 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. ONLY ONE SPACE LEFT
Cost: $50.00

Supplies to bring:

Personal paper trimmer [with a scoring blade if you don't have a Score board]

Corner rounder [if desired]
Wet and dry adhesive
Scissors
Bone folder

A snack and a beverage for break-time. This is a long class!

August Layout Challenge: Inchies, with Charmagne



I've done so many cards using inchies...small creations made within a one inch square. In this class we will play with Authentique's beautiful new Journey and Uncommon line to create a double layout using a much bigger "inchie" concept. Choose between a pink (Uncommon line) or blue (Journey line) to create this pretty project. This layout can be adapted for both masculine or feminine photos. See you there!

Get In Touch Cards, with Maresa




The store has so many new lines of Graphic 45 paper in, and I have to say, Communique is one of my favorites! Paired with awesome Hero Arts stamps, these cards have a vintage feel with a few punches of bright colour.
