What I Like About You! (online class)

I'm going to be teaching some online classes for My Kits & Pieces. They're going to start offering classes that are both kit-based and non-kit-based.  My first class is available now and it's this fabulous mini album:

Cover-new

Pages1-10-sm

As always, with anything I teach, there's lots of technique involved.  The "classroom" is a private blog where you can ask questions, share your version of the album and watch the videos (yes, I've gone a little more high tech, there are videos) of the various techniques.  If you'd like to sign up, the class is $10 and you've got the entire month of July to hang out in the classroom and work on the album!  Here's the official promo:

 "What I Like About You."

 While making this adorable mini album, you will learn:

  • How to make your own mini book (including a sewn binding).

  • How to create a painted title.

  • How to create my trademark doodle dots.

  • How to hand cut a title.

  • How to hand cut embellishments from patterned paper.

  • How to trim your paper and photos to perfectly fit an odd shaped page.

In the online classroom, you will find a combination of written directions and live action videos that you can watch to learn the various techniques. The classroom will remain open for the entire month of July.  You can leave questions, have conversations, and share your work in our private classroom.  There are no supplies to buy. Use what you have at home!  (There's also a bonus project in the classroom so that you can use up all the scraps from this project!)

I hope to see you in the classroom!

Photo A Day 2008

  • 06.15.08
    My goal is to take one photo a day, every day for 366 days (it's a leap year). The only rule is that I cannot edit the photos after taking them. No cropping, no playing with the levels. They are what they are. Click on any image to see a larger 4x6 view rather than the small square preview view and to read about what the image is.
