I'm joining the super talented Janine Koczwara and Jane Clark in teaching a mini album workshop in Aussie! the classes are:
Janine Koczwara (Australia)
Class Description:
Do you love the look of layer upon luscious layer of detail in a layout? If you do, but struggle to pull it all together, this is a class you will love as Janine Koczwara (Prima Educator) takes you through creating a very feminine, multi-dimensional, layered layout. While you are learning about layering you will also learn lots of new ways of incorporating Prima products on your page, with masking, misting, stamping, distressing, stitching and texturizing elements. To top it all off you will create an amazing floral cluster on your page, showcasing the beauty of Prima’s flowers on your layout.

Class Description:
Do you often scrap about your family, children and pets but neglect to tell your own story? Join Louise in creating a beautifully detailled “Growing Up Me” Twiddleybitz album. Decorated with beautiful Prima papers and flowers, Twiddleybitz chipboard and Shimmerz paints, this album is full of little tips and techniques you can easily transfer to your layout scrapbooking. Louise also adds her own custom embellishments to the mix to give you a unique keepsake to treasure for years to come.

So if you're planning on being in Brisbane in September make sure you get in on these workshops, they're all pretty gorgeous!
Ok, so now the shares. I was pretty excited to be sending some of my work to be displayed on the Prima stand at CHA this year. I've always dreamed of CHA and although, despite my repeated badgering, they declined my offer to hand deliver the items ;) I still had this acrylic album and layout there! woohoo!
This layout uses the new North Country line of papers and embellishments with some Printery and other Prima touches in there. It's a redo of a layout I did a year or so ago that I was never completely happy with and I adored the photo and title so wanted to give it another go. Don't you love the rubon snowflakes? too cute!
And the other item is my favourite. I LOVE acrylic albums and mixed and matched some Prima ones to create this one. I completely adore the new resin embellishments, the vintage birdy is to. die. for. Seriously need to stock up on more of these!
So there you go, thanks for looking
