SCRAPBOOK LESSON ~ HERITAGE BLUES & THE IRONING 18th June

Heritage layouts don’t need to be complicated just stylish & that’s just what this layout delivers. Also we are going to do the ironing…transfers that is.

Photo requirements: 2 - 6″ x 4″ portrait

Heritage photos would be perfect for this layout however we tested them with some school photos & it looked fantastic as well so don’t think that you can only use one theme of photo.

Bonus layout using iron on transfers ~ Photo requirements 1 - 6″ x 4″ portrait or landscape.

Colours we will be using ~ silver / black / glitter…..its all a bit of a surprise!

I fell head over heels in love with this company when I first saw it at SIA back in May.  I just had to order it on the spot.  Now that it has arrived in the store I love it even more.  Helen & I spent ages on the Graphic 45 website browsing the gallery & both of us are gobsmacked by how great it looks with both heritage & modern day photos.  Drop by & have a look for yourself at www.g45papers.com  you won’t be disappointed.  Roz will be taking a class in August using the Playtimes Past papers…can’t wait to see what she comes up with.  Helen has also been playing with some of the papers as well so will post what she has come up with shortly.

WOW watch this space the new Kaiser papers are GORGEOUS. I was lucky enough to be at the launch last night, there are six new ranges of papers, all with matching embellishments. The packaging doubles as storage and you can get storage folders to keep them in. There are a heap of new stamps, ribbons, bling and paints and beautiful new embroided badges for each range. For those of you coming to the all day crop tomorrow you will get a sneak peek of some of the products - unless Karen and Roz mug me for my goodie bag first.
