December class - sneak peep

The texture paste on November's class layouts are not even quite dry yet, and already it is time to prepare for December's class! Our last class of the year takes place this coming weekend, and will hopefully end the year off on an "unforgettable" note. Yip, that's the title of the layout!!


We will use Kaiser Craft's "Hidden Treasures" range and interesting little accents such as mesh circles, twine, bunting, bling and Babushka dolls to create a versatile layout about anyone or anything that you consider to be unforgettable.


The layout uses three photographs, but there is plenty of space to add more if you wish to do so. You will also have quite a bit of patterned paper left over, so we've created a bonus layout to show you how you can put it to good use.

We have a few extra kits available, so please contact us to place your order.

November class

Wow! Did we have a jam-packed, technique filled class this month! We started the morning off with a flower making workshop presented by Charmain Harris, a guest teacher well known for her beautiful card making and off-the-page projects, and thereafter we played with textured paste and stencils!


The girls thoroughly enjoyed making the flowers, the sunflower and rose were firm favourites! This little pink one stole my heart!


After a very intense first half of the morning - intense with concentration, it was on to texture paste and stencils. (See more flower making class pictures on our Facebook page) 

This month we used the beautiful Delight Collection from Prima to create two single pages.


The texture paste was applied to the background papers first to add additional interest before the paper layering. I also added some real stitching detail to all the layouts. The layouts were finished off with the beautiful Prima brads and tags.


Here are the layouts:

Life is sweet

Days to remember

I just loved the soft and romantic feel of this paper range so much, that I couldn't resist making a double layout as well! So the girls were really spoiled for choice!


The November kit includes a full Prima flower pack, Prima brads and tags, chipboard titles and much more. We do have a few kits available, please inquire to our email address: info@picsntales.co.za

The Pics n Tales challenge seems to be here to stay! This month we used a Pagemaps sketch and the girls really rose to the occasion! Please visit our Facebook page to see the beautiful layouts that they created.

The year is coming to an end and we will have our last class next week, 7 December 2013. Look out for sneak peeps of the layout soon!

Thank you for stopping by!
