Christmas Wishes - Double Layout

December 2, 2009

7:00 - 9:30pm

$18.00

This is a traditional layout in more ways than one. A multi-photo, double layout on traditional Christmas colours. Simple elegance is the way to go with paper lace borders, reindeer paper, and traditional motifs. Finished off with a touch of twisted twine and flowers. Bring your basic tool kit and don't forget your brown ink. If you own a Fiskars Apron Lace border punch, please bring it with you. You can also purchase this item at the store the night of the class. Photos needed for this class are 1~ 5x7 landscape and 5~4x6 photos which you can crop. We love the way sepia or black and white photos show up on this layout.

Check out this fabulous bookmark

As this week, October 4 - 11, is  ICHTHYOSIS AWARENSS WEEK, Sarah had a wonderful idea to create awareness and celebrate her daughter. She created an information bookmark. Using the symbol of a butterfly, which is the symbol for those affected by ICHTHYOSIS, and adding information about the condition, she has made a fabulous, informative gift.

For more information on how Sarah made this sweet bookmark and why, check out her blog ONLY IN HOLLYWOODSTOCK

For more information about ichthyosis, please visit: Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types.

Sarah says, "Please feel free to use this idea to create bookmarks of your own. A bookmark to raise awareness for Breast Cancer could use a pink ribbon in place of the butterfly. You could replace the butterfly with a puzzle piece if you wanted to raise awareness for Autism."

The possibilities are endless for this bookmark Idea.
