here's the details:

Friday November 21, 2008

you don't need to bring any photos with you except for the ones on the cover transparency, but i will list out what the book holds so you can consider it. i loved adding my photos to the book. it really brought it to life.

10 ~ 4x6 vertical photos
16 ~ 3.5x5 photos
42 ~ 2x2 photos (these can be wallets you punch or cut down)
photos can be color and b&w. i printed most of the 4x6 with a white border

supplies and tools to bring:
paper trimmer with score blade
scissors
Crop-a-dile or small hole punch
bone folder
foam brushes
acrylic paint (i used making memories evergreen and cranberry)
regular adhesive (runner or double stick tape)
medium craft glue dots
mini flat glue dots

ok, on to the photo...
Cover without vinyl 
the vinyl will be applied right in the lower section on the transparency. i'll post another photo after we get it on there. :)

see you on friday!

Guess what's back?

Everyone has loved this display by Miss Julie...but sadly, we had sold out of this great "coat rack / shelf"...but it's back! And it's just perfect for showcasing great photos on either 12x12 canvas or 8x10 works great too!

Come on in and pick yours up before they're all gone!

The best things

save the date

november 21, 2008. 7-PM. make sure you get it down on your calendar. :) we will be making a 6x12 standing transparency Christmas Memories mini book. if any of you have seen the 6x12 wedding album Karen Russell designed, that's it. i changed it up a bit and we will be creating a Christmas album that will hold TONS of Christmas photos. i think i will have about 5 years worth of photos in mine! cool right? all the product just arrived and i will get the class sample up ASAP so you can all see what you're saving your friday night for. :)
