"Beat The Winter Blues " Scrapbooking and Stamping Extravaganza
   

8:00 A.M. - 9:30 A.M. - Memories in 3D:
Jan and Julie worked as a team to teach this double page layout for your holiday memories.  We used foam board on one side of this layout to create a 3D effect. On the foam side we cut "niches" for some favorite holiday memorabilia. Then the other side complimented this intriguing design. The Daisy D papers really caught everyone's attention.

9:45 A.M. - 10:45 A.M. - Seasonal Favorite Cards:
Those who joined Julie for this class created 2 fall and 2 winter themed cards. These cards incorporated both Close To My Heart and Top Line Creation products. One card, was be a winter photo frame. Embellishment and stenciling techniques were employed in this class.


11:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. - Textures of Autumn:
Jan taught this double spread, perfect for your Autumn photos.  The layout incorporated Leaving Prints papers, real leaves, wire, beads, faux seals, and torn paper techniques. This layout had you feeling the different textures which autumn brings to us.  There was even be a bonus project included in the class kit! The easy card was something that could be completed at home in minutes using techniques covered in class and was a perfect thank-you note for your Thanksgiving Hostess, or to send your Thanksgiving  greetings.

12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M. - LUNCH


1:00 P.M. - 2:15 P.M. - TagRRiFIC III:
A favorite class of Jan's!! In this class we made a fall tag using rubber stamps. We also made a "Give Thanks"  tag book using walnut ink, torn and distressed papers, and lots of embellishments. Jan finished this class with another tag named "Assembly Required", can you guess which season this tag was for? This class was tons of fun and provided some TagRRiFIC new ideas for the coming fall season.

2:30 P.M. - 3:30 P.M. - A Fall With Texture:
Julie led this class and covered a double page fall layout which was a Top Line Creations project.  Using pre-printed vellum, fabric, and aging the layout pieces with a crackled finish, you created a beautiful layout for your favorite fall pictures.

3:30 P.M. - 3:45 P.M. - COOKIE BREAK

3:45 P.M. - 5:30 P.M. - Canned Memories:
In this class, Jan led you in creating a mini album that would be storde in a tin that we "whitewashed" and stamped.  The album contained many different paper techniques and oodles of embellishments, and incorporated some of the new Leaving Prints winter products.  Perfect when finished and tied with a red gingham bow. This project made a wonderful gift, with or without photos.


Then in the evening from 6:00 P.M. - Midnight - we held our PJ CROP!
