We all have photos that are hanging around from our childhood, or those treasured photos of our parents or grandparents, that we want to scrap but don't quite know where to start. This class will focus on the technique of scrapping older photos, colour choice and preserving what we know about these precious photos.
We will make a layout about family during the class - it is ideal for family photos with parents and children, or photos of the kids together. The quote used on the page is by Michael Crichton. If you would like to use it, please bring it printed out on some cardstock, ready to cut into strips for use on your page.
"If you don't know
your family's history
then you don't know
anything. You are a
leaf that doesn't know it is
PART OF A TREE"
Michael Crichton.
I have used part of the quote as my title, highlighting it in chipboard letters.
Supplies needed:
Three photos, 3 1/4 " high to fit across your 12" page (eg, 3 photos of 4" wide or an assortment to fit across the page).
One piece of neutral cardstock for a background.
Quote printed out on same neutral cardstock as your background.
Small chipboard alphabet for a title (I used part of the quote - "part of a tree" - as my title).
Small chipboard brackets to frame your title.
One strip of patterned paper (or fabric, ribbon, etc) 12" long and 2" high for a boarder along the bottom of your page.
1/2 a sheet of patterned paper to make a hand-cut tree.
One strip of dark coloured cardstock (about 4-6" wide and 8" long) to make a hand-cut tree trunk.
Dark coloured ink to ink around your tree and journaling strips.
Mat pack if you have one (don't worry if you haven't, you can borrow mine).
