Are you ready to look at a book in a whole new way? In this inspiring class, Debby will be your guide as you transform the pages of The Secret Garden book included in your class kit into chunky altered scrapbook that you can fill with special photos and stories. By the end of class you’ll have painted and stamped and torn and folded and added into your books in lots of creative ways. This book is designed to be an ongoing scrapbook that you might not finish in one sitting but add to over time as you explore ways to add to your book. Your class kit will contain the book to alter and colorful products from Amy Tangerine, Crate Paper, Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp, Ranger, and more. All kits will have directions, a list of techniques for altering your books, and color photos.  Click http://debbyschuh.typepad.com/my_upcoming_classes/2017/09/chunky-altered-book-album.html for additional pictures.

Student supply list: Each person needs their own 12" paper trimmer and adhesive (I used 1/4” tape adhesive the most in my book). Please also bring these helpful tools... scissors, pencil, ruler, stapler, scoring tool, Crop a Dile punch, corner rounder punch, sanding tool, craft sheet, powder to make stickers unsticky, a glue stick, black Archival Ink or other permanent ink for stamping, any stamps from home that you might like to use in your book, a gift card for painting, and acrylic craft paint - I used Michaels Craftsmart paint in Pink/Rose, White, and Robin's Egg Blue. 

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” We’ll get ready for this year’s festivities by creating a beautiful album where we can keep our special photos, stories, and mementos of the season. Using a new 6x8” album from Echo Park, we’ll fill it with lovely papers and embellishments from the Crate Paper FaLaLa collection, and a mix of products from Carta Bella, Simple Stories, Pebbles, and more. We’ll create interactive pages to hold lots of photos in the fifteen page protectors of various sizes. You’ll change the way you look at a page protector as we alter them to hold more photos. Be inspired to document your Christmas season! Every kit comes with directions with color photos to follow if you cannot attend class in person.  See link http://debbyschuh.typepad.com/my_upcoming_classes/2017/09/falala-christmas-album.html for additional pictures.

Student supply list: Each person needs their own 12" paper trimmer and adhesive (I most frequently use 1/4" and 1/2"wide Scor Pal tape. The 1/4” tape will be very useful in this project.)

Please also bring these helpful tools... scissors, scallop scissors, pencil, ruler, stapler, scoring tool, Crop a Dile punch, 1/4” hole punch (I use the 1/4” We R MemoryKeepers Power Punch), corner rounder punch, liquid glue, and foam tape adhesive. If you like a more distressed look, bring a sanding tool, non-stick craft sheet, ink to distress with (I use a pretty dry Ranger Distress Ink pad in the Vintage Photo color), ink blending tool.

Featuring the beautifully collaged Tim Holtz Idea-ology Memoranda paper collection, we will each create a unique journal and scrapbook to hold our family photos and stories or to use as a travel journal or to use for anything you can dream up! This workshop is filled with creative techniques for making your book interactive and filled with secret pocket and booklets for all your stories and photos. We will be using the Cinch machine to add wire-binding to our custom journals; we will learn to color and customize die cuts with Distress Markers; we will be learning tricks for expanding the pages of our books to make them more useful; and lots more!  Click linkhttp://debbyschuh.typepad.com/my_upcoming_classes/2017/06/memoranda-journal-album.html for additional pictures.

Each book will be unique as you choose from a wide variety of paper dolls and botanicals for the cover of your book.* This is a great opportunity to make the cover more personal with a feminine or more masculine or childlike cover. The twelve sheets of double-sided paper that come in the class kit also offer limitless choices to make the book your own. From the door knob on the front cover to the rub ons and snippets of ephemera and trinkets that you'll find in your kit, you'll have fun playing and creating and learning with me!

Class kits come with instruction with color photos. If you are getting a kit from the store, your kit will contain an assortment of paper dolls and botanicals. The book can be assembled with binding rings that you might have instead of the Cinch machine.

*If you would like to make your book cover just like the sample book, you can purchase the full packages of Idea-ology Paper Dolls (TH93555) and Botanicals (TH93554) separately.
