August class

We had a blast at this month's class! We welcomed new friends, we had a fun challenge, and two very different takes on the same layout - all in one day....

Before the class, we asked everyone to bring a few ugly papers from their stash, along with an ugly embellishment, to class. Well, let me just say that not everybody thinks of "ugly" in the same way. While some paper sets really fit the description, others would still be bought if they were on the shelves today. We had quite an energetic round (well, three rounds) of "musical paper packs", before we were each rewarded with someone else's idea of "ugly". The challenge now is to make a project, where at least a bit of all the paper and embellishments in the pack is visible, before the next class at the end of September. Can't wait to see what the ladies come up with!!!!

Then it was on to the business of the day:

 
 
The name of this My Mind's Eye paper range was so beautiful, I decided to use it as the title for the layout. The gorgeous patterned paper was combined with some washi tape with cute little birds and birdcages on it, a sticker sheet used in an unusual way, ribbon and a few brads. Each kit also contained a full set of MME stamps, so everyone could really personalise the layout to suit their own style.
 
As always, there were as many variations on the layout as there were people in the class. To provide even more inspiration to the ladies in the class, Ezme created a slightly different layout, using the same kit content:
 
So after a full day of creativity and fun, we look forward to seeing you at our next class. Happy scrapping until then!
