It's been a while since I blogged hasn't it? Well I've got a great reason now. As part of the inaugural Frank Garcia DT, we are holding a blog hop so everyone can meet everyone and see all our wonderful styles, PLUS get to see the stunning ranges that Frank has released as part of the Prima Marketing team.
I'm hoping you've come here from Frank Garcias blog?! If so, welcome! I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the webosphere. Today I'm going to show you a bit of my scrapbooking style and also give you the opportunity to win a prize... But that can wait until the end....
First I'm going to show you a cute little album I made earlier this year using one of Frank's lovely albums and one of his stunning collections, Archivist....
I taught this album as a class in July and it was very popular.
It had a ton of different aspects to it, from hidden pockets, openings, extra pages etc etc.
I especially loved the trim Frank designed for us to use....
It really finishes off the side of an album.
To see more samples of work I've done using Franks delicious designs, just scroll on down to the next post where you'll see a class I put together using A Victorian Christmas. It was a fun set of tags to make, and we managed to get all 7 done in 3 hours.
Teaching is one of my passions and I'm lucky to do this on a regular basis throughout NZ, Australia and even further afield when the time arises. Next year I'll be teaching on a cruise through Needlepoint Tours and Cruises that goes out to Vanuatu. What an amazing time we're going to have!
Talking of amazing times, who wouldn't want to win a gorgeous prize from Frank Garcia for someone who joins us on the blog hop.
Just leave a message to us on our blogs and we'll be choosing a lucky winner in due course. I'm sure you'd like to see what your might win? Here it is.....
Perfect for that last minute Christmas card/gift.
Well, because this is a blog hop, you're going to want to know which blog to hop along to. I'm sending you to the lovely Jennifer at this blog addy: http://scrap-escape.blogspot.com/
Enjoy the hop and have a wonderful day!
Your album is so very gorgeous outside and inside. I loved the little hinges that you used - new and different. Thanks for sharing.
