parkerericajs: Graphic 45 Bird Song Project Series with Sabrina! ? Scrapbook ...

These absolutely gorgeous papers have inspired projects that work together as an entire five piece set. Excited? I sure am. Not just because of the wonderful things we?ll be making, but because we?ll be learning some new techniques that will also benefit future projects you create at home. What are the five pieces? Well, we?ll begin with making a beautiful box that not only holds custom sized cards that we will make and the custom envelopes we make to go with them, but once the cards are used, the box has hidden tags that may be used for photos or journaling as well as storage for some favorite little items. Next, we?ll create a fan mini that opens, just like a fan, and holds within it hidden pockets and tags. Following this project comes a beautiful organizer that we?ll put together and will inspire a little more personal organization. Now, these beautiful projects need to be shown off in just the right place in your home (or the receivers home) and what better way than to display it on a Japanese inspired tray that we will make from scratch using chipboard. That is the fourth project. And the final item is a beautiful photo shadow box to display over the location of the tray we created holding all these fun items.

Sound like a lot of fun to you? Do you want to take all five classes to make the matching set? Well for those of you who would like to do this, if you sign up for all five classes and pay for them at the time you register, you will enjoy a $40 discount, paying only $205 for the five classes! One other note, there will only be kits available to those taking the class, and only up to 12 kits per class including the ones for those taking the class. Now let?s get to the nitty-gritty of the classes themselves.

This class is loaded with quite a few new things to do and use in the making of this gorgeous box and card set.

I will have one there, but as we will be using it for a while, it would be great if you could bring one), paper piercer and piercing pad or a small hole punch (smaller than the average hole punch), Scor Pal (or Martha Stewart Scor Pad), bone folder

For this class we?ll be thinking outside the box as we create a fan mini that is sure to be the delight of all who see it. It will measure at least 12? in length and hold within it hidden pockets for photo tags or journaling. This mini opens up like a fan and can be viewed from both sides! Just think how beautiful it will look next to the elegant box with cards! Be sure your trimmer blade is sharp for this class.

This is what you will need for class. And note, I may add more things to this list once the project is made and I know more exactly what I used. So watch for any changes that may be posted. Thank you.
