Little Book of Love
with Zina Wright sponsored by Print Blocks

Get ready to have some serious scrapping fun! Come and join Zina as she helps you to create a gorgeous mini album using the 7-gypsies album and papers and tags, some beautiful footfall twill, autumn leaves
stamps and some exclusively designed words by Zina and cut with the Robo Craft from Skat Katz.
In this class we will be using lots of different techniques such as painting, stamping, tearing, and the use of  transparencies to put together a wonderful little book to house some of your favorite photos. The theme of the book is love, which keeps it open for interpretation. You can choose your photos around that theme, with anything in mind. It could be “things you love” or “places you love” or even “why i love you”... the possi
bilities are endless. I chose to do “Photos i love from the year 2006”, so basically it’s a book of my favorite
photos from last year. For me that was an easy topic to deal with when having to find so many photos for the one mini album. But get creative and have some fun with your topic....i cant wait to see what you all come up with!

What To Bring:
Photos:

7 (6x4”) horizontal pics
7 (5x7”) horizontal pics (these can be replaced with (6x4”) pics )
6 (6x4”) pics to be cropped to about 5x4”

Good black journalling pen

Black ink pad (NOT Staz-on)
stapler and good scissors

adhesive and glue stick or liquid glue

Hole punch (Square if you have but circle will do or just an eyelet setter)
Xyron machine (not necessary, but great if you have one!)
foam brush for painting

My At- Home Classes are here!

I have finally managed to organise some at home classes!

I've got two to start, and i'll see how i go with these before i start organising more.Freestyle_at_home_class_2

Boys_class_1

They are both really fun classes, one with a more girly feel, and the other a boyish feel...but with both classes you can use girl OR boy pics. If you are interested in these or any other classes, please email me at lilywillowdesigns@bigpond.com and put the class name in the header. I'll try and answer any questions you have. I can only fit in 8 people per class, so seats ARE limited. If there is alot of interest in a particular class i will try and run it again. Other days i am thinking of running classes are Modays and Thursdays, so let me know if any of these days are better for you so i can consider this when planning my next class. I am also considering doing night classes, but at a later date, so please let me know if you would be interested in those as well. For all of those who asked, YES, i am planning on doing online classes, but most probably not till Jan 2006. However i am currently teaching online classes through the Scrapboxx Online  Store so you can check those out if you are interested.

Looking forawrd to hearing from you!
