FEE:              $85.00


Description:

I don’t know why, but I just love clocks, and have a fondness for things with small drawers.  Imagine mixing those two elements together, along with a configuration book, and Marion Smith’s Mad Tea Party paper line (which happens to have a clock of some sort on every page), and you have the perfect combination for a not-so-mini-album!  With 15 page surfaces and pocket pages too, there’s plenty of room to add photos.  I’m in love with the four inch wide, faux, pocket watch we’ll make and tuck in the cover of the album.  And, there’s a little tea party going on under the domed glass encased with rhinestone.  Not only is it cute, but it’s functional too since the thick chain on the pocket watch acts as a closure for the book.  Add a few drawers and a peek-a-boo shadow box on the inside, and you have one “mad” book!       

So, pack a lunch and come spend the day with me creating this fun book! 

Student Supply List: 

Basic Kit:  craft mat, scissors, paper cutter and bone folder

Aleene’s Super Thick Tacky Glue (Pink label)  

Glossy Accents - for use on the pocket watch

Glue Dots (small, but any size will work) – for use on the pocket watch

Crop a Dile

OPTIONAL:   Evergreen Bough Distress Ink:  We will share my ink pad for making one element of the book.  If you own it too (and you should because it’s one of my favorite colors!), bring it to class and you won’t have to wait to use mine.

OPTIONAL:  If you want a distressed look for your book, bring these items:

Foam blending tool

Favorite brown distress ink (I used Brushed Corduroy)

Distressing Tool (I used the Tonic/Tim Holtz paper distresser)

Stardust Stickles – there are pages in the book that are stickled, but you’ll want to do this part at home because of the drying time.

Description:

This shadowbox book has 14 pages, plus flips, flaps and pockets, for you to add photos and memorabilia.  So many details, like dressing up a five inch 3D dress form and creating a tiny photo album from game pieces to hold mini photos or tiny notes.  You’ll make a miniature burlap wall frame with lace banner, and my favorite – a faux, 3D pocket watch complete with little hands of time.  Pull the handle on the magnetic door and you’ll find room for you to add your own little 3d embellishments.

Inside this altered configuration book you’ll find shabby chic style pages with bits of lace, buttons and flower that go great with the Prima Time Traveler paper collection we’ll be using.  The beautiful tan, burgundy and black color combinations along with the script writing, clocks and rose patterns make this album perfect for any occasion.  Come spend the day with me creating this fun and unique book!

STUDENT SUPPLY LIST:

Bone folder

Aleene Super Thick Tacky Glue (pink label) – Christine highly recommends this glue for this project – it is sold at Scrapbook Island

“anywhere” type hole punch:  Christine’s preference is a Big Bite Crop-a-dile (note:  the hand held crop a dile doesn’t punch deep enough), or a  Japanese screw punch, or a paper piercer

Foam blending tool

Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

paper distresser - Christine used the Tim Holtz/Tonic paper distresser

Belle Necklace Class

I saw a friend wearing a necklace like this, with a bell-like noise, and I fell in love with it!  I had to make one of my own, and now you can too.  In this class, you'll learn how to hand cut, drill and debur a vintage knife and transform it into a beautiful bell necklace, using a fork tine as the bell's clapper.  You can choose to embellish the face of your necklace with rhinestones, or keep it sophisticatedly simple with its gentle bell ring.  You'll go home with a beautiful, ready-to-wear, necklace.   A great gift for yourself, or for someone special!  Each class is limited to six students, so sign up early! 

All supplies are provided for this class.
