Scrapbooking Classes

I am starting scrapbooking classes from my home this term. I am really excited and hope that they are very much enjoyed.

I will run a course of 5 classes over the 10 week term. Classes will start in the second week of term and run on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night, fortnightly. Please book in early for your preferred night to reserve your spot because there has been some keen interest.

Price: $15 per class (to be paid in advance to reserve your spot) which includes the class with one on one help, all tools that you will need (apart from your favourite adhesive), some supplies that may be difficult to source and a yummy supper.

Class size: max of 6 people and min of 4.

Location: My home in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, at my kitchen table!

Class one: Scraplifting a layout.


I want to legitimise the process of "lifting" a layout and encourage people to have fun making a page idea their own.

Supplies to bring:
One 4"x6" photo in portrait.
Adhesive.
One neutral cardstock for the background and one coordinating cardstock.
One patterned paper for a photo mat.
Alphabet (and rubon alpha if desired) for a title.
ribbon or coordinating paper strips and embelishments as desired.

Techniques Used:
Paper piecing.
Distressing using sandpaper and a distressing tool.
Hand journaling using strips.
Inking.
Paper piercing and drawn stitching.

Class Two: Embelish it!

This class will focus on making your own embelishments and making purchased embellies your own. We will work with felt, foam and ribbon. Sneak peak to come!


Class Three: Working From a Sketch

We will work through a sketch to create a layout. You will be amazed at the end of the class how many variations of the one idea will have been created. Sketches are a fun starting point to making a layout unique to you. Sneak peak to come!


Class Four: Working With Transparencies

No need to be scared! Transparencies are a very versatile medium and create really funky backgrounds for a layout. We will run through the whole process of creating this see through layout.


Class Five: Journaling From the Heart

In this class we will run through some popular styles of integrating your journaling into your page. We will work with some "She" quotes by Kobi Yamada to create a page just for you.
