Life Layout Class (Playing with Tissue Paper)

A New Year...and new classes!

Hello 2012!
Yes, I know it's been forever since I've posted. But, enough with what I have not done and on to what I have done... 

New Classes for 2012...

First up is the Smooch Layout.

I will post the link to purchase the class (over on the right side), when I get a final price. (the button is not active right now.)
However, this kit will come with more than enough goodies to do multiple layouts. Think... stickles, paint, twine and a whole Thickers alphabet pack.

The class will be taught on the following dates at Rockin' Reality Retreats:
February 25  •  March 3  •  April 14 
If there are kits left over I will put them up on my etsy site after April 14. 

Thanks for looking,
Sabrina 

Photo Transfer Class - Cancelled for Tomorrow

I am having to cancel the Photo Transfer Class tomorrow. I am still offering the $5 Fun Layout and the Halloween Mini Album. Also, I am doing a fun make-n-take ornament in the morning. Sorry for any inconvenience! Sign up for tomorrow's classes on the right------>
Peace & Craftiness! 

Make-N-Take for October 29 Retreat

I wish I could take credit for this cute little ornament, but I found the idea in this...
 


I will be doing a little Make-N-Take at the retreat next weekend to teach the basic design. However, the possibilities are endless! I am thinking stars, pow shapes, snowflakes...

Here is the basic how-to...



1. cut out shapes - about 16 total. I did circles first and then tried this fun snowflake shape. (I cut the snowflakes out on the cricut, for the circles you could use a punch) They need to be shapes that are congruent. Mine are about 3" in diameter.



2. Score down the middle of each piece and fold.



Do this to all of them. I used two different patterned paper. You could do them all the same, 3 different or if you had a bunch of scraps - all different. (Just think of all that Basic Grey paper you bought in packs and only used a few sheets. I had a whole box full.)



3. Now start gluing the halves together.





4. Keep gluing one half to the back of the next half. (alternating patterns if you have more than one)
Just be sure that your edges are lining up. There will be a gap in the middle when you are finished.

5. When you get the the last one, glue the two left over sides together to make a complete circle. 



6. I ran a ribbon through the center and added buttons to finish it off. I recommend a very small ribbon or even twine. There is a big enough gap to run it down the middle. 

Tada! 

**I know the photos are all jacked up, but you get the idea.

Great Weekend @ Rockin' R

 

I had the best time teaching this past weekend and visited with some really neat and talented women. It was also great to catch up with some old friends that I just adore. Being around that much creativity is so inspiring. I love seeing all the different styles, techniques and to hear the stories behind them. I went with minimal supplies and just wanted to experiment. I'll tease you with a few pics...

Next up is a view of the scrap space, some invitations that I have been commissioned for and a couple logos in the works. Oh, and a new 6x12 album kit... thanks for looking!
