Adventures
in Scrapbooking: Using
Kits
It's
not the contents, but how you use the
kit to preserve your photos and memories
that counts. The journey, the challenge,
and the adventure of utilizing a scrapbook
kit is just that - how to combine it with
your own personal style and photos in
ways that you are happy with. Whether
you're working with a kit club's kit,
one from the scrapbook aisle at the craft
store, or making up your own, you will
find a lot of fun and creative inspiration
in this new six week course Adventures
in Scrapbooking: Using Kits.
Instructor May Flaum is a veteran Big
Picture teacher and long time crafter.
May is author of Paper
+ Pixels: Scrapbook Layouts, has
been published in numerous idea books
and magazines, and has taught scrapbooking
classes for years. Her 'no rules' approach,
paired with a variety of layouts, helps
students at all levels to take her ideas
and make them their own. May will show
you how to use purchased kits, how to
build kits, and how to make the most of
your stash of supplies. She is a highly
active instructor, so expect to see her
starting threads on the message board,
commenting on the gallery, and encouraging
you to e-mail her with questions and comments.
Each week May will create scrapbook layouts
from a kit and share them, along with
big tips, lessons, ideas, step-by-step
instructions, bonus materials, and more.
New challenges and a weekly sketch will
be available in the handout each week
for students, and a weekly prize drawing
will be held on the message board. In
addition, students can easily work at
their own pace, and May's content is designed
to be utilized long after class adding
even more value to this class.
What
you'll be doing:
This course is focused on scrapbook
layouts, 12" x 12" layouts
to be specific. Still, all of
the ideas and most of the page
designs can easily be converted
to other sizes. May has designed
this class so that it is flexible
and can appeal to all levels and
styles of scrapbookers.
How this works:
In each week's main handout May
will share about a subject that
can be utilized on any and all
kits you use. Then she will share
the week's sketch and challenges,
and finally talk about the week's
kit choice and share the layouts
she created with it. Step-by-step
instructions are included.
Want more? You'll get it! In addition
to the main handouts, each week
will have bonus material - an
audio visual presentation or additional
handout featuring more lessons,
tips, and kits that May has created
herself.
Syllabus:
Please note that substitutions
are welcome, and purchasing is
not necessary to participate in
class. Students may work with
any supplies they have on hand
and can create their own kits
if desired.
