Class: Today is the Greatest


Instructor: Shimelle Laine
Price: $60.00
Class Length: 2 hours
Class Description: Here's a reason to document a great day before February: in this class, we'll make four 12x12 layouts. One layout will highlight your thoughts on the day, and the other three will highlight the perspective and thoughts focusing on the same day. This is a great way to capture other peoples thoughts and images. Before class, choose a day (past or present) to record with your friends or family. Hand everyone a journaling sheet, passing the camera around all day (or get others photos from that day) so you catch everyone's perspective. There's no limit to how many people you can have in your group, so don't worry if you have a big family or a busy day with a zillion friends -- it will be easy to make additional pages for the project at home, so you could make an entire album from the day. For our four pages, we'll play with interactive page elements, multi-photo design, stamps and happy colors. Think a special event or birthday, or even just a plain old everyday .. event or non-event, all good!
Skill level: Intermediate. This is my practical class -- stuff you'll use over and over again on your scrapbook pages to help you tell stories and document your life.
