I was chatting to a lovely woman this morning all about SENZ and how much fun it was and I realised I haven't shown all the classes I did this year. So without further ado, here they are:
Prima "3 in 1"
The reason this class is called 3 in 1 is because you make 3 complete layouts in one 2 hour class. It's always been popular, and this year was no different.
I used a ton of gorgeous Prima to make it 'just right' ...
As always this class was full on. I think most of the second class got their layouts finished as I tweaked the way we did the first class to ensure time wasn't wasted.
There were a ton of things to learn in this class, and I think the rosettes were a big favourite of peoples. However, we also did some stamping, die cutting, adding fabric to a page, rolling edges of paper, using the most of paper pieces, hand cutting etc etc.
Texture throughout was another LO class.
I have to say it's one of my all time favourite classes. Just so pretty. It was also a lot of fun as we cut out many pieces of paper then put them back together again in a different way. But I think the attendees favourite part were the Resist Canvas pieces we used (here's a link to one of many different styles you can get). So much fun and easy! If you're not sure what they are, then ask your local store to get them in and try them out!
Cherishing your childhood was another of my classes...
Again a very pretty layout. I encouraged people to bring a photo of themselves to create a layout from when they were little and it was lovely to see all the old photos come out!
My smash album from Christchurch and Nelson was extremely popular so I did another class of that. Again, a full on class, but lots and lots of fun. People racing around from one work station to the other. We had a ton stations: ink, paint, glimmermist, embossing powder, sewing, die cutting and of course, the creating of a brand new album at their own seat.
And the last class I taught was a multi photo class.
I reintroduced an old design technique of using specialty page protectors. It meant we could make 3 pages and it would sit in an album as one.
This is the first page you see. Once you've finished looking at this page, you flip it open to see a double page underneath.
We used mostly 6x4" photos and a variety of black and white and colour photos. We made a pocket to put invitations/guest lists in. We worked out how easy it is to move your photos around and around again until they are just right....
Above, the page on the right, is made directly onto the back of the front page above. Let me show you how it looks inside your album.....
Again, it was lots of fun and I think just about everyone got their pages completed. Yay!
And that was it for this years classes. There were 40 in each class and 6 classes over the weekend. So I was pretty wrecked when I got home. All that talking! LOL. But it was a nice wrecked feeling.
Would love to see what you did at SENZ! Send me any links, I'd love to see more pictures...

I enjoyed your 3 n 1 layout class Trina. Finished the Title and journaling last night so another 3 layouts done. The Smash Album looks great and all those techniques - wow.
