Springtime Curiosities Class & Kit Sale


Also, for the first day of Summer, I realized it was probably a good idea to clear out some class kits from the PaperZone class I taught earlier this Spring. Note: there is a good reason for this, which I will be announcing shortly. ;)


The listing is up on Etsy now. I'm also offering the access to the class separate from the kit (if you can't swing the kit or have too much stuff on hand). Otherwise, if you buy the kit, for a limited time, you get access to the site for FREE.


In the class we'll cover quite a few techniques including: using transparencies to add dimension, adding texture with spray ink, learning to stretch your supplies by creating embellishments made from cardstock, design principles for small projects and tips for minibook photo management.

The site also includes an exclusive video tutorial and step by step photos of the finished book as well as access to exclusive photoshop templates.


I'm pretty excited. I love this stuff. 


So to celebrate, I am going to be GIVING AWAY one of the kits AND class access to one of my lucky commenters!


Simply post in the comments what you like (or don't like) about this kit, and I'll pick a random winner on Friday. Internationals are welcome as well. :)


Thank you for letting me share. Have a great night!
