{all in the family} altered book class

i know… i know… i’m a day (or so) late with this – but i TRIED!

but i am FINALLY done with the sample! if i could have stopped myself from going back and rethinking and adding MORE goodies and little touches MAYBE i could have finished on time :)

here are pics of the book…

detail Collage

i added some NEW! elements to this book including file cabinet “drawers” on the side of the book that REALLY open and a mini “journal” that is part of the book and can be opened.

also, in addition to all the little treasures and trinkets i add, we’ll be using some REAL vintage office products in the class as well, like this old, huge, 30 pound dymo label maker…

dymo (1024x768)

you’ll use it to create your own custom label to use in the book…

dymo 2 (768x1024)

you can also select a custom date and use this vintage “received” stamp to add an accent to a folder in your. the “confidential” stamp on the front of the folder is also from a vintage stamp…

round stamp 2 (1024x760)

round stamp (768x1024)

i’ve also created some custom printables using vintage ephemera like the vintage photo folder on the front cover, old dictionary pages, a family tree and a family records page.

here are the details:

date: saturday, june 11

time: 12:00 to 5:00

cost:$68

supply list: CLICK HERE

if you are interested in this class, please call Scrapbook N’ More to sign up or to request more information {830} 214-1690. and PLEASE call as soon as you can.

this class MAY have to be rescheduled if we do not get enough sign ups. my altered book classes are too labor intensive to teach to a small class. i HOPE this will not happen! please help spread the word!

i usually plan the altered book classes around holidays or special occasions so am on the lookout for paper lines to use WELL in advance. i had wanted to do a family altered book, but had not found a paper line i liked. i happened to see this FAB line by Kaiser during one of my classes at SBNM last month and thought it would be perfect for the book and it would be GREAT if i could schedule it before father’s day. i knew it would be pushing it, but hadn’t realized how crowded my schedule would be with personal items in the following weeks. i’m really excited about how the book turned out though, and hope you will be to!

thanks!

family altered book class…

HiYa!

well i’m behind – AS USUAL – and am furiously working to complete the family altered book sample.

the class is scheduled for 6/11 – i hope you saved the date!

i have had a family book on the “back burner” for quite awhile so i have some great junque stashed away for this project. combine that with the fabulous “vintage office” vibe of the paper collection – a style i LOVE – and avidly collect -and the pile of goodies i pulled to play with is pretty outta control!

i literally had to STOP pulling pretties!

here are some shots of what i pulled, followed by some close up pics. what will make the cut?


closeups…


i’m predicting this book will be pretty JAM packed with JUNQUE!

the masculine flavor of the paper and vintage office theme will make this a perfect gift for dad, granddad, hubby or son – and class is timed perfectly to create this book for father’s day!

i am hoping to finalize all the details and have the sample completed and dropped off by this weekend. i DID say hoping – figured if i told you my plans i’d have more motivation to stick to it!

thanks for your continued interest in these classes…

kits!

hello…

i’ve had a box of kits at Scrapbook n’ More for quite awhile, but i haven’t added to it in quite awhile!

this sunday, while i’m toting all my stuff for my Texas book class, i’ll be also taking a bunch of kits!

most are priced $5 to $6, a few that have more goodies are priced a little higher. there are even kits that are finished and ready for photos.

you can find the kits in a black box on the sale table to the right of the entrance to the crop room.

charlotte has a nice display of kits as well at the back of the store.

so if you are in the market for some quick and easy scrapbook kits, be sure to check them out!

here’s some pics of what I am bringing. there are multiples of most kits, but a few are singles…

“away we go” travel altered book

introducing…

the next altered book in my series of altered book classes… “away we go” travel themed altered book…

away we go collage 1

away we go - collage 2

this book is designed differently from the other books in this series; there is room for lots of photos, several places for travel notes and pockets to stash souvenirs from your trip. features include several pull outs and a tabbed photo section too.

as usual, lots of great trinkets and treasures from my stash: vintage wooden model airplane propellers, “wings” pins given to kids flying in days past, charms, tokens, old maps and pages from atlases, vintage postcards and stereo cards, travel tickets from the 40’s and lots of custom embellies created just for this project.

this class is almost full and no more seats can be added due to limited parts and pieces. if you are interested, please call Scrapbook N’ More at (830) 214-1690 for information or to sign up.  we’ll keep a waitlist for the class in case slots open up due to cancellations.

a light lunch and snacks are included in the cost of the class and will be served about halfway through the class. alternately, if students prefer to purchase lunch, the store will take orders in advance for delivery during break.

you can view the supply list for the class HERE.

thanks to everyone for the continued interest in this class series.

2 christmas classes at scrapbook n’ more…

ok! the deets are set for my COUNTDOWN 2 CHRISTMAS class…

the class will be held at Scrapbook n’ More in new braunfels on saturday, december 1 from 2:00 to 5:00, cost is $35.

you’ll be able to make the countdown calendar AND start the countdown all on the day!

i am also offering FABULOUS FINDS, a make your own necklace class on the same day, december 1, also at Scrapbook N’ More. this class will run from 10:00 to 1:00…

i will have TONS of parts for you to select from, vintage to new: charms, watch parts, junque jewelry, beads, findings, chains and more. i been hard at work scouring antique stores, shows, estate sales and online sites for special trinkets just for you. you’ll get a few base pieces to build on, then you’ll have “class cash” so you can select your own parts. extra parts, pieces and bits will be available for purchase if you decide you want to add MORE goodies to your piece. you’ll leave with a complete necklace – pendant and chain.

this would make a great gift for that “hard to shop for” person on your Christmas list, or come and make something special to wear with your holiday outfit.

the cost of this class is $35 {included is enough “class cash” to “purchase” parts to equate to what’s in the sample} plus, any additional parts or pieces that you would like to purchase separately – but that’s optional!

you can sign up for either or both of these classes NOW! call Scrapbook N’ More at {830} 214-1690 for more info or to sign up.
