Are you new to scrapbooking or looking to begin this creative hobby? Do you love the thought of creating your own pages, but feel a bit overwhelmed at where to start, what tools to purchase, how much product to buy, or how to design a page? If you answered yes, to any of the previous questions, this course is for you!

I’m very excited to return to ScrapFest in Kitchener! Spring’s not that far away, so it’s time to start planning your visit to ScrapFest at the Kitchener Aud on April 17th & 18th.

Join me on Saturday, April 18th for a fun layout class that puts the spotlight on celebrating our unique personalities. These layouts will equally suit highlighting formal or simply silly moments in our lives. Show off your personality, tell your story, and celebrate life!

The delightful FANCY FREE collection, designed by Paige Evans, forms the foundation to these layouts. Participants will complete 1 double and 2 single scrapbook layouts, and will have plenty of paper left over to develop further layouts. Your kit will also include multiple die cuts, DMC floss and embellishments to complement your pages.

Techniques used in this class will help you create dimension and texture to add layers and interest to your work. Try your hand at a little stitching to create a fun title; develop attention with angles and embellishments; direct focus and interest with subtle layering; and utilize large die cuts and journaling to create balance.

Here are some sneak peeks of the layouts in this class:
