Narelle's 2013 classes

I promise  I'm not trying to freak you out.... but it is time to start planning our class schedules for 2013 so I have prepared the first set of classes using the gorgeous Carta Bella "Traditions" paper.


The classes will run over 2 weeks.

On Friday February 8th (morning and evening classes) I'll be teaching you how to make some really versatile flowers with lots of variations, and we'll add these flowers to a double layout. There is enough paper in your kit for you to be able to create 2 ( that's right TWO!) double layouts, one in shades of green and blue, and the other in shades of yellow and red.  You'll be able to use the layout you complete as your template to whip up the other one at home!  These layouts would be ideal for scrapping some family photos.  




On Friday February 22nd (morning and evening classes) we'll be completing a single layout from the same kit again!  The theme for this one can be whatever you like, but it lends itself towards a more female page with lots of flowers.



If you would like to be part of this class series you'll need to let Di know straight away so she can order the stock!  Remember- dont reply to this blog post or email-  you need to contact Di directly on mobile 0404 266 296 or by emailing her on dismale@bigpond.com.au

When you are booking in, please let Di know if you need her to order for you some Tim Holtz Distress ink in "Old paper" as we'll be using this on all the layouts.

I'll be back in mid January to post a list of what you'll need to bring, and some more sneak peaks, but in the meantime, start planning your photos!

For each double layout you'll need::-
2 x Portrait photos 5x7"
2 x Portrait photos 6x4"
2 x Landscape photos 3x4"

For the single layout you'll need a 4x6 Landscape photo.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas.

Blessings,
Narelle xxxxx

30th November - Narelle's "Twig & Berry" Workshop


Friday 30th November at 10.30am
"Twig and Berry" Christmas Layout

*  Please do not reply to this blog post or email.  For bookings you must contact Di
on   0404 266 296 or by emailing dismale@bigpond.com.au *


This year has flown past sooo quickly- and here it is, my final class for the year!
We'll be creating a really traditional Christmas layout using the Kaisercraft "Twig and Berry" range.  


My layout doesn't have a title on it because I'm giving you the option to use one of the gorgeous Scrap FX Christmas words.  Choose from "Spirit of Christmas" or "Decorating the Tree".  

 Please advise Di which word you would like at the time of booking.


For the class you will need to bring along:-
  • A 5x7 portrait orientation photo (can be added later if you want to take a special photo during your Christmas celebration) *See below for photo editing tips*
  • A bright Red button (1.5-2cm diameter)
  • Red adhesive pearls eg Kaisercraft or Flourish with a Bling (we'll have some for sale but if you have lots at home bring them along

If you like your photo to have a similar finish to the one I have used on my sample-  here are some basic instructions using the free software "picasa".

This is the photo "before" and "after" the editing!

       


1.  Download Picasa-  http://picasa.google.com/
2.  Open your photo in Picasa
3.  Select the second tab that has a sun shape on it.


4.  Slide the fill light, shadows and highlights up and down til you are happy with the look, then slide the "Colour temperature" across to the right to give the photo a yellowish tone.


5.  Select the last tab on the right and click on "Vignette" (this is the function that puts the green border around the photo!)
6.  With the colour picker, select a dark green colour, then slide the "size", "Strength" and "Fade" options until you are happy with the look.  
7.  Select "Apply" and save your photo!


Blessings,
Narelle xxxxx
