New Years Resolutions:
1. Stay Healthy--that includes LOTS of art therapy.
2. Keep up with blog posts--I have such a backlog of things to share!! Including tutorials.
3. Try new things.....
I cut back on teaching classes and dealt with some health issues--as a result, I'm starting the new year in feeling great. Now, I need to get in shape!
I upgraded my blog capabilities--now I need to figure out how to use the upgrades to organize and add features. Who needs sleep anyway? I also want to post some more tutorials for favorite techniques.
My latest NEW THING is chipboard, 3D, and construction.
I have two upcoming classes scheduled for February and March at Memory Lane in Missoula, Montana. These are based on designs by Kathy at Paper Phenomenon. I'm paying for the license to share these great projects, and I will be adding some original projects of my own later.
I want to show these now, so you can sign up and order materials if you wish through Missoula Memory Lane if you are attending. Here goes:
Occasions Folio
Saturday, Februrary 4, 2012--10:30 a.m. to whenever we stop
$25.00 plus materials. A materials/tools list is forthcoming and will be available at Memory Lane (and here).
This is a good opportunity to use up some of that great paper you've collected (and forgotten what you got it for) or for using with paper collections. I'll provide some links to my favorites since many of you have asked. Memory Lane will be sending an order for the paper collections the first week or so of January, so be sure to register and let them know what you want. I've also picked out coordinating card stock to go with each of the sets I'm recommending.
This folio album measures 12 x 10 inches and is packed full of places for picture, the cards you receive, journaling and so on.
This folio is for Christmas using the Father Christmas collection by Bo Bunny.
Other Christmas papers I love are the Christmas Emporium and Deluxe Edition Christmas Past by Graphic 45.
My birthday is in January, so I made this Occasions Folio from Steampunk Debutante by Graphic 45 with a few variations of my own. I love it!
Some other collections that I think would be great include:
Graphic 45: Renaissance Faire, On the Boardwalk, Tropical Travelogue (new), A Proper Gentleman, and Fashionista
Bo Bunny: Snowfall, Et Cetera (very vintage), Noel, and Liberty
Cosmo Cricket: Odds & Ends, Salt Air, and Circa 1934
What occasions are happening in your year?
Coming in March...
Build A Page
Saturday, March 3--10:30 a.m. until they kick us out
$25.00 plus materials
We will make all six interactive spreads in this great project!
I'll show more about this project later in the month. The sample was made with a paper pack of Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime. Ask about the matching stamps to this an other new Graphic 45 collections. Other collections that would work well (in addition to the ones already mentioned) include:
Graphic 45: Le' Romantique, An ABC Primer, and The Magic of Oz
Bo Bunny: Zoology, Forever Fall, and Blast Off
Cosmo Cricket: Clementine and Dear Mr. Claus
