With a modern mix of whimsy and vintage romance, this beautiful album that we will create together in class will inspire your creativity and be a perfect place to keep your special photos of wonderful memories with friends and family. New products from Tim Holtz Ideology and Carta Bella will fill your class kit and be the foundation for our interactive, individual, and technique-filled books as we create our albums step by step.

What could be a more perfect place to make a travel scrapbook and journal than in an actual traveler’s notebook! We will fill a full size Webster’s Pages Traveler’s Notebook with a captivating collection of papers and embellishments from Crate Paper’s Here and There collection. Documenting your journey has never been more fun!

We will make four notebooks and two mini books with lots of pockets and interactive page ideas for your photos and memorabilia. I think I’m going to use my traveler’s notebook to make a scrapbook that I’ve always wanted to make with photos from several past trips, giving the highlights of my travels over time. It would also be a great book to take with you on a trip and add to throughout the trip, documenting in real time.

Your carefully chosen kit will be filled with papers, stickers, rub ons, washi tape, ephemera, and a collection of ribbons to match to create this 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” white with gold dots traveler’s notebook. The retail value of the product in this kit is about $80.

All kits come with directions with color photos.

I am full of stories… aren't we all? I’ve been making a list of the stories I want to tell in writing (with photos, if I have them) about interesting things that have happened over the course of my life. I often get the “not that story again” look from my sons, but now that I’ll have my Story Girl album filled up with all my tales, I’ll know that they are recorded and all in one spot. How fun to look back and see that maybe you led (or lead) a more interesting life than you think!

Using an 8” x 9” Echo Park 2-ring album and Simple Stories page protectors with the beautiful new Flourish collection from Maggie Holmes, we’ll make a book ready for your own favorite stories. As always, the techniques that we use to make our pages interactive and expansive can be applied to any scrapbook that you might make.

I love the colors of this collection - the rich blues and yellows and sage green with pinks, of course - that was inspired by European flower markets. The graphic black and white album and paper designs make it a very versatile book to use for many different purposes.

Your class kit will be filled with papers, an beautiful acetate sheet, stickers, 3-D stickers, ephemera, twenty journaling cards for a start on your stories, the album and page protectors, and beautiful ribbons to match our books.

I always say I don’t know how to draw, yet I have taught myself how to draw faces. Guess what, you can draw faces, too! I will teach you how to draw a face with easy tips and tricks. We’ll use the “magic pencil” to make your faces look artsy and interesting (and I will give you each your own pencil in your kit, so you’ll have one to play with at home). I’ll also show you how to paint the faces with artistic, fun colors. Even if you can’t draw, you can learn to draw faces. I promise!  Please NOTE, until payment is received you are not registered for the class.
