Class this Friday evening…

September 27, 2011 By JulieK

You heard right :) There’s going to be an extra special class this Friday evening at Ink About It in Westford… The store is usually not open on Friday evenings, but they are going to be open specifically for my class!!! There’s still some space, give the store a call and let them know that you want to come!!!

The book is in a “smash” style… The “Smash” books are sold out everywhere, and this is my take on it… I’ve never actually seen a Smash Book in person, but I couldn’t resist making my own little version of it… I had a “plan” for what it would look like, and then it got away from me :) It uses Simple Stories patterned paper, Zutter Acrylic tab pages, chipboard pages, plain pages (that we’re going to stamp) and even pockets!!! I had so much fun making this book, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do! Here’s a peek at the cover and a little bit of the inside :)

Here’s an inside page, you can see one of the pockets…

Here’s the back of the pocket page and a chipboard divider…

Class is just $25, if you have a Zutter Bind it All, you can bring it, if not, no worries!! I’ll have mine :) Everything will be ready to assemble!! Give the store a call and reserve your spot today!!

Do you LOVE Ribbon??

This Thursday evening, I’m teaching this super fun Zutter book at Ink About It in Westford, MA… Take a peek, and call the store if you’re interested in taking the class!!! It uses the 8×10 clipboard wood covers, and is in a “Smash Book” kind of style. How adorable are those Fancy Pants patterned papers???

Here’s a preview of the cover…

And one of the inside pages…

The only thing that’s a little bit tricky to see, is that the long strips are folded in half, then wrapped around the page, leaving a little tab hanging off the side. Then the long strips are added to the inside edge of the page.

Another completely random project… But, I was at Ink About It in Westford, dropping off my July sample for Zutter Class a while ago, and when I turned around to leave, I saw the Little Yellow Bicycle Summer papers… Those lemonade colors made me buy them :) It wasn’t my fault!! Anyway, I HAD to make this little envelope book with them… It’s 5 envelopes put together, and I tucked index cards in the pockets, so there’s room for pictures, and also plenty of room for notes :) A great little summer journal…

Here’s the cover with the little belly band holding it shut…

Here is the front without the band on…

And one of the inside pages…

Thinking about making this a kids class at Late Night Croppers toward the end of July… I have enough of the paper (and if I don’t do a class with it, you all will call me a hoarder :) So, if you have a kiddo between about 5-9ish, let me know if you’d be interested!
