Unlock your Story...







I did this wonderful class with Elizabeth Kartchner.
Wow, what a fun class!

I tried a few techniques I had never used before.

Here is my completed album...

first page which is an envelope with a card for journaling inside.
front of the envelope

other side of envelopesecond page is a fabric page, photos either side...
Two pieces of fabric I put with right sides facing out and simply stitched together with a paper border.
love these gorgeous flowers..it was a strip of flowers on elastic that I bought at a fabric store, just cut them off!

third page is another envelope




4th page is a clear acrylic page with photos and embellishments. I had never used clear acrylic before, it was fun painting on it!

fifth page is 2 photos either side with a fabric ruffle (fabric paper is from the dearlizzy line)

Last page is the inside of the back cover.





Thanks Liz, so enjoyed it!!

Today on my own online class I taught them how to make these, with a step by step video tutorial. You can join up anytime, the class is via a private blog. Entry is ongoing. Sign up via my blog side bar "A pocket full of posies" {more details here in this post}Lots of step by step video tutorials on all sorts of flowers.
