even though the focus was on a new colour each month, there were different techniques explored each month. those techniques could have been used interchangeably between any of the months/colours as well. i was trying to think of my favourite of the year. i can't pick!! there was something i loved about each layout that was unique to that month.


{i purposely didn't list all of the techniques we used on the layouts. just the main technique that the class often referred to when we talked about previous classes. the rest of the techniques...well...you just had to take the class to learn and play! respect that the techniques taught in each class were part of the class cost and not to be shared publicly. i do not share the methods of achieving the techniques outside of the class and expect that my students will use those techniques only on their own work and not use it for teaching purposes. some techniques were based on publicly known techniques, but refined for my class. i spent many hours researching and testing before they were chosen for a specific month, and in some cases had to be changed to work with different products.}
