Upcoming New Class!

January 21, 2012 By JulieK

I’m so excited to be teaching at the annual “Super Bowl Event” at Ink About It this year!! The event is on Superbowl Sunday, and runs from 10am-3pm (you’ll get home in plenty of time for the big game!!). It’s 4 mini workshops, lunch, prizes and more!! Call the store to get signed up as this even usually sells out quickly!!

Here’s a couple photos of my portion of the day!! This super fun wall hanging will get you through the rest of the winter (as it seems that winter is finally upon us).  We’ll be using the Zutter Bind it All, but don’t let that scare you!! I’ll have mine for anyone to use, and will be there to help everyone!!

The project uses the fun Echo Park patterned papers (and faux snow… what could be better???) with 2 places for photos, and also has patterned paper on the back so that it can be hung in a door or window…

Here’s a little closeup of the top so you can see the snow on the letters a little better.

The project will be at the store for you to take a closer look at it by Monday afternoon :) Call the store to get sugned up for this great event!

Annual Christmas Card Book

January 11, 2012 By JulieK

It happens every year… You pack up all the holiday decorations, and have a pile of beautiful cards that you don’t want to throw away, but really have no place to keep… Here’s the perfect solution!!! Take them with you to my next class at Ink About It in Westford on Thursday, January 19. Call the store to reserve your spot, and we’ll bind your own beautiful cards together in a book and you’ll have them to look through for years to come!!  Here’s a preview of the book, it uses BEAUTIFUL SEI patterned papers that are foiled and glittered.  We’ll make the covers in class, and then use the Zutter Bind it All to punch and bind all of this year’s cards into a wonderful keepsake!!

Sneek Peek at this year’s cover…

I had the last 3 year’s worth of books on the coffee table this year, and it was so much fun to look through all the old cards, and expecially the photo cards!! Here’s the details on the older books…

The 2010 Christmas Card Book

The 2009 Christmas Card Book

The 2008 Christmas Card Book

 

The Christmas Book is Here!!

December 17, 2011 By JulieK

Well… the only thing “Christmas” about the Christmas book is that it’s given as Christmas presents for the family… It’s really a “year in review” book that I make.  I use digital scrapbook materials, create all 50 pages (plus a cover) with Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, then create the book using Word, turn it into a PDF and upload it to an online publishing company (I use lulu.com). It sounds MUCH more complicated than it is, as long as you know how to use Photoshop…  HERE’S a link to last year’s cover…

The printed books arrived in the mail today!! I’m so excited, and can’t wait for everyone to see it… If you’re one of “those” people :) and don’t want a sneak peek… don’t look below!!  But, if you’d like to see this year’s cover… Here it is!!  The digital pages and elements that I used are from Shabby Princess, I use her digital elements for my books almost every year, she’s a wonderful digital designer (my header and other blog elements also use Shabby Princess digital elements, with permission).

Anyway… Here’s the cover of the book… (remember… don’t peek if you want to be surprised!!) The book certainly doesn’t cover everything that we do all year, it’s “only” 50 pages, and I took 1400 pictures during our summer trip alone!!! But it’s pretty representative of what we do through the year… This year, we took a Wild West Vacation… and so there are lots of pictures of that!! It starts in January with snow storms and Kathryn’s birthday… goes through the spring with Easter and Mother’s day… through various summer fun, the big trip and Sean’s birthday… through the fall with Halloween and ends with Thanksgiving!!  I love the “excuse” to spend several hours looking through all my pictures of the year!!

Well… without further adieu…  The cover…

Zutter Wallhanging

December 16, 2011 By JulieK

I was so excited to teach this class last night at Ink About It  in Westford!! It is a quick and easy project that comes together with some pretty papers, and makes a great decoration for yourself or a gift…

Materials:

Chipboard (cut into 1 6×12, 2 4×6, 2 2×6 pieces)

Fancy Pants patterned papers from the St. Nick line (OMGosh, don’t you love those trees??)

Love that May Arts ribbon!!

 Zutter Owires in 3/4 inch Antique Brass

The snowflake and stars are both old school Sizzix :) cut with chipboard and paper to make them stand up a bit. 

There are also patterned papers on the back side, incase you want to hang it on a door or someplace where both sides are visible.

 

And we made a little bonus surprise :) a fun little post it note holder… Same papers and wire… Hang the wall hanging and then put the matching post it note holder next to the phone…
