Cute little project
Kathey asked me to put together this mini canvas accordian book kit with pictures of her new grandson. I was very impressed with how quickly and easily this kit went together (under an hour for me). Everything but the photos are included in the kit, even the ribbon!
Classes
(Click on photos to enlarge)
Wednesday, April 25th, 6:00-7:30 p.m.
For this class you will need 8 photos for the bracelet. The photos must be sent to me at jsdevoe@charter.net by Monday April 23rd for resizing. I will have them correctly sized for the class. It is preferable if the photos are close up shots rather than of a group or landscape, because they are going to be fairly small. You will need to bring to class a trimmer and scoring tool if you have one. There are only 4 slots open for this class, so register early!
Saturday, April 28th, 10:00-12:00
Cost is $15.00
This box is so easy to create. please bring a trimmer, scissors, and a scoring tool if you have one.

Looking for the right words...
Sometimes you just can't seem to find the right words for that special photo or card. I have a solution for you! On the right side of this page under Links, you will find Quote Garden. Its a great resource for scrappers and cardmakers! Look up quotes by category or keyword. Here is one I found I thought would be great for a Mother's Day card:
God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers. ~Jewish Proverb

Transparency Fun
Browsing the internet, I always find things I want to try with my scrapbooking. I found THIS idea, and thought I would try it out.
I created this design in Photoshop, but you could make something similar in Microsoft Word. MSWord has great and easy ways to create word art, which is perfect for this project. You could also doodle a design, scan it into your computer, and print it out on a transparency!
I have uploaded this particular design HERE, if you would like to give this technique a try!
I tried printing it on a transparency at home, but had difficulty with it feeding properly (bad printer!). It printed fine on regular paper though, so I took that into Kathey to have it copied to transparency.
I flipped the copied transparency over, so the text read backwards. I painted the designs with acrylic paint. Its very easy, just make sure you stay in the lines, like in a coloring book. If you do make a mistake, you will have a little bit of time to wipe off the paint and start over. I had to use 2 coats of paint for the opaque look I was going for.
Let the paint dry completely and assemble your layout. Remember, brads are a great way to adhere the transparency to the background paper. Take a look at my finished layout:
