Add gesso to your page and stamp into the paint : you'll get a nice textured print.

 

Use masks and glimmer mists

 

Make the Enveloppe

Cut a piece of paper into a piece of kraft paper. Size : 6 1/2" x 7".

 

 

 

Use a small round punch to make the paper eyelets and punch a small hole in the middle of each circle.

Don't forget to add the thread before "closing" the system.

Colorful Designs - new ONLINE workshop!

Good evening all!

A lot of you have been asking me lately if I was going to do another online workshop, such as the SCRAP World Cup class I hosted last summer. Well, shall I say YES?!! :)

Colorful Designs is my new online class especially created for you, the scrapbooker looking for fresh design and loving colors!

 

Want more designs on your layouts ? Afraid of colors ? This workshop is for you!

Join me on this new journey and get this 2 MONTHS long class and become a design and color expert!

As an experienced scrapbook teacher travelling around the globe, I've seen so many scrappers being AFRAID of colors and not knowing how to balance their creations. Colors are the skin of your feelings, emotions : get rid of this fear and pick your color palette!

Design itself is such a concept. It actually makes a layout work...or not. I will teach you tricks, tips and techniques so that you won't be scared of the blank page and that your style gets itself confortable with design and colors.

 

For 35€ (around $40), you'll get :

•  access to a private blog where you'll see the weekly classes posted on Wednesday
• tips and tricks on design once a week
• a sketch with each class
• color combos for you to scrapbook NEW colors
• my blogging feelings
• posts about the DESIGN world
• VIDEOS! you'll be able to laugh at my accent! :)
• access to a FLICKR gallery for you to upload your layouts
• TWO live CHATS for us to get to know each other and for you to ask whatever questions you have in mind
• a complete list of supplies used for each workshop

and all of this for 2 months!!!

And because you know I am a mini album lover, your last class within this workshop will be a mini album class! I'll be offering the possibility to order a class kit for this one.

Become an expert COLORFUL DESIGN SCRAPBOOKER!

For only 35€, come scrap with me for 2 months!
