Altered Journal

Altered Journal. Old fashion composition books have been around for decades. Even with the existence of modern technology, composition books remain.

In the Altered Journal class, you will learn various decoupage techniques and will transform an old fashion composition book into a modern day journal, ready to become a part of YOUR everyday life. In addition to decoupage, we will also cover distressing techniques, methods for mounting ribbons and embellishments to decoupaged surfaces, and eyelet setting using the newest (and my current favorite) tool; the Crop-A-Dile.

Please visit the link "Class Supply Lists" for a list of all supplies you will need to bring with you to class.

Greeting Card Storage Tin

Have you seen those white tins with the hinged and handled top in the scrapbook and craft stores? They look like old-fashion lunch boxes from the ’30's. Well they are the perfect size and shape for storing greeting cards. Whether you’ve purchased a stash of greeting cards or you enjoy making them, keep them safe and organized with this divided decorated tin.

Learn to decorate your own storage tin with scrapbook paper using decoupage techniques, ribbons and die cuts and leave with an adorable and useful craft.
