hooray for the red, white and blue…

i’ll be teaching another altered book class at scrapbook 911 on june 26th, this time, the theme is patriotic…

this book is #4 in the series of holiday themed altered books i’ll be teaching. i am introducing a few new techniques in this class, and now that most of you who have been coming have the “basics” down, i’ll try to incorporate a few new ideas in each of my future altered book classes.

don’t worry though if you’ve NEVER taken an altered book class or made one on your own, although this class is 5 hours, the techniques aren’t very difficult and you’ll be able to create a project you’ll be proud to display.

i used papers and cardstock sticker embellies from pink paislee’s new starlight collection, and added some wonderful vintage ephemera images from GECKO GALZ to suppliment items from my vintage stash. i’ve been gathering up red, white and blue items for MONTHS in anticipation for this class.

if you are interested, please sign up quickly, as space is limited, and once the spots are gone – they are GONE! i won’t be able to add any additional spots to this class as i’m out of most of my goodies!

curious about the next book in the series?  think about it, the theme will be hauntingly familiar! i’m busy trying to dig up items that will be spooktacular for the theme, but they aren’t easy to find and are proving to be as elusive as a ghost! LOL!
