REPEAT LESSON

REPEAT LESSON

Of last Thursday's evening class, for those who weren't able to attend


Date:  Tuesday 18 October
Time:  6:30 for 7 until 9pm - pls note we will start promptly at 7!
Theme:  Joyful
Colours:  Dusty pink, brown and a touch of green
Technique:  Colour blocking
Cost:  R65 per person - includes your kit.
What to bring:  2x photos 7.5cm X 10cm
Tools:  please refer to previous post

PLEASE phone or e-mail me to reserve your place.  Seats are limited to 6 (or a max of 8)

My thoughts on the lesson:
It was a lovely and very small get together last Thursday.  But it was great!  I must confess, I was surprised at the challenge this layout turned out to be.  The technique is a valuable one, because it is functional.  You will soon realise that NOTHING gets thrown away - scraps of paper always come in handy.  It would be perfect to use these scraps for this type of layout.  We also learned the art of "quick and easy stitching" on paper, and how to use your steel ruler, craft knife and mat properly.  The latter can not be taught in one lesson, it takes practice!
It was exciting to start on the techniques book which Marie introduced.  26+ techniques to learn!  It will change the way you look at crafting.


For those who don't know, this is Marie.  She is a Wife, Mother and Teacher by day, and a Scrap-a-holic by night and in any other time she has spare! It is a wonderful priveledge to have her teach Scrapbooking at Jack's! 
don't you just LOVE the apron?.....
