"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

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone for their support of the Samaritan's Purse Shoebox Appeal, l hope you enjoyed

filling your boxes. Amazing how just one box can make such a difference to a child.  We were able to support this Appeal with 30 shoe boxes and just over $100 dollars in donations.  The Church organizers, Geoff and myself are so grateful for your support and participation. Well done everyone!

Hoping to be able to show you a short DVD that has been made by Samaritan's Purse over a cuppa this week.

l hope that everyone who participated in the 2 day retreat had an enjoyable

and profitable scrapping time! l know some ladies have made all their Christmas cards

Thank you to those who brought along some sweet goodies to share!

Will look at some more dates for 2013 if people are liking these days, so please respond with your thoughts.  Will definitely hire another space for the Workshops so you can leave your stuff in one place.

Thank you for your support,

Di & Geoff
