first official scrapbooking class

was AWESOME!

i had a lot of fun. it was soooo good to teach again. and i was lucky to have a really great first class. all of the gals were a lot of fun and one even went on a coffee run for all of us! (thanks Jolaine for the huge sacrifice!)



i'll start with the felt album (labeled Album Two in your instructions)...it was the one we worked the hardest and longest on....

i think the inner pages will make up for the sweat you poured into all the stitching. here are the two pages that had photos since i didn't have the photos on my instruction sheet.


and, i realized later that i think i forgot to tell everyone..?! all of the quotes in the album were printed out on cardstock for you and included in your kit. you just needed to cut them out. or just copy them with your handwriting.

BUT for the poem in this album...i wanted to make it more "primary-ish" (don't tell the ATA that i make up my own words!) ......so before you cut out this poem...use your ruler and a thin marker to draw the bottom line, then the top line and then add dashes in between. (teacher trick!)


Here is the FIRST TAG in this album:


side one.
side two. (the photo is hiding the staple) i just glued some brown cardstock to the back of the journalling card. you could also just glue a photo. or leave it alone! i used the number and red striped ribbon.


here is the SECOND TAG in the felt album:

side one. (i added the brad to the flower and then used a glue dot to adhere it...this was in place of a ribbon)

side two.

you can trace the journaling card and get them to match. or just make sure that the width of the tag is less than 3 inches (this one is 2 1/2 inches), and that the width is more than 3 inches (this one is 3 1/2 inches).
