October class

We had a blast with the Teresa Collins Memorabilia file folders and patterned papers at class last weekend!

You all saw the sneak peek on the blog before, so here are some of the pages of the album we created in the class:

For the front cover, we used the largest of the file folders and covered it with a piece of embossed cardstock. To this, we added a folder made from the patterned paper. This contains photos and some of the accents cut from the patterned paper. At the bottom of the front cover, there is a folded ribbon, and three decorative hat pins tucked behind a cute star created from "leftovers" from the sticker sheet included in the kit.

The smaller file folders were sewn into the large one, forming the basis of the mini album. There was enough space on the inside of the front cover to create an additional folder album for that page.

All the album pages were decorated with stickers, sequence and bits of glitter paper. This worked really well, as there was not much room for bulky embellishments in this one...

The smallest file folder is simply gorgeous! We used it to add a whole lot of extra photos. It hardly needed any embellishments, as the gold damask pattern printed on it is already beautiful enough...

A little banner made from different stickers in the kit creates some interest at the top of this page.

The last page in the album was created using a journaling card cut from the patterned paper, layered on two different patterned papers, and then finished off with a few stars.

Of course, there were as many different albums as there were ladies in the class. We even had one or two double layouts, using the same materials!

Thanks for stopping by. Keep an eye out for teasers of the next project. See you soon!

October class

Our next class will take place on 26 October. We are going to create a mini album using the Teresa Collins Memorabilia range. The File Folders from this range will form the basis of the album, with an additional fold out section added.

You can really go to town as far as photos are concerned, on this one! There are 15 photos of different sizes in the album. The theme will best suit family photos, but is really not limited, as there is a whole sticker sheet with many different sentiments included in the kit. The kit also includes cardstock, three sheets of double sided patterned paper, file folders, sequence, ribbon and hatpins to decorate the album with.

Here is a little sneak peak:

There are a limited number of kits available. Order one from info@picsntales.co.za to avoid disappointment!
