Christmas Scrapbooking Class on February 17th

As the rest of the world stares at the dark field for the Superbowl, I thought I'd tell you about my upcoming class.  On February 17th, at 2 pm, I'll be offering a class to make 2 full 12x12 scrapbook layouts (that's 4 pages) for Christmas photos and memories.  The class will be at the Methodist Church in Camarillo and will have a $17 materials fee.   You MUST sign up by 2 pm on February 10th to be included as I need to have time to order and prepare materials. 

What will we make, you ask?

  Here's the first layout: 

You can view the products mentioned on my website by clicking on the links, below.

The Christmas Tree is made with shapes punches with Stampin' Up!'s ornament punch (119847 - $16.95) and decorated with the small ornament / candle flame punch from the "Merry Minis Punch Pack" (126882 - $16.95) which also includes a Christmas Tree punch and a Star punch (at the top of the tree).  It's a little hard to see, but I used the "Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder" (116824 - $7.95 -- used with the Big Shot) to emboss the red matting.  If you remind me, I'll bring extra embossing folders to the class so you can emboss the gifts with other patterns if you'd like. 

Here it is a little closer.

 

Closer yet.  Here you can see that each of the ornaments I used to make the tree are stamped with the "Delightful Decorations Stamp Set" (W116517 - $21.95 / C127787 - $16.95) and I used the Silver Glimmer Paper (124005 - $4.95/2 sheets of 12 x 12).  You can see the embossing on the red matting a little better here.

 

Here are Santa and Mrs. Claus (based on a design by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Veronica Vasquez), ready to hold your pictures.  Believe me, I'm CERTAINLY not caught up on MY scrapbooking so the 2012 is merely a suggestion.  You can make it any year you'd like or change the wording altogether as long as it fits. 

 

Here's that Silver Glimmer Paper again.  You can get it FREE during Sale-a-Bration (through March 22nd) if you order more than $150 worth of Stampin' Up! products.  That's in addition to your THREE FREE Sale-a-Bration items and FREE Hostess Goodies if you are or have your own party.  See my entry about the February Card Buffet for more info.

There is sponging to add depth here.  Sorry it's hard to see in the pictures. 

And here's Mrs. Claus with a bit of ribbon and a broach.  Her collar is made with the Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402 - $15.95).

I'd love to help you make these pages to add to your scrapbooks or get one started.  Just remember you need to let me know by 2 pm on February 10th.  Thanks!
