Embellishments: Beautifully Handmade

Hi all! An awesome class is being offered for a second time over as Get It Scrapped and I wanted to share. Tania is teaching her Embellishments Beautifully Handmade again! Here is a link to learn heaps more about it.

Tania’s Class

I took the class the first round and loved it! Lots of hand crafting, sewing and layering with fun doo dads. The embellishments are gorgeous and make amazing touches to your pages. I will come back and share some of the pages that I have made with her fun techniques. And no worries if you are not crafty, Tania breaks it all down step by step so everyone can follow along.

Come join the fun and try making some beautiful hand touches for your pages!

Oodles of Doodles Workshop (self-paced)

In my work as an art teacher in elementary, middle, and high schools, I’ve discovered that 90% of people doubt their ability to draw. Students of all ages assure me they’re not artists. Upon discovering my profession many adults say, “I can barely draw stick figures.”

I firmly believe that everyone can learn some of the basics of drawing. Doodling is a fun and easy place to start–which is just what I’ll be teaching in “Oodles of Doodles.” You’ll master 18 different patterns to use alone or in combination with others for eye-catching results. I’ll also be sharing inspiration and instruction for ways to use your drawings on scrapbook pages, introductory lessons for drawing facial features, detailed how-tos for making tessellations, and much more.

Six lessons teach:

  • 18 repetitive patterns to use alone or in combination on your pages and projects
  • inspiration and instruction for using doodles on backgrounds, white space, photos, borders, frames and embellishments
  • instruction on how to draw eyes, mouths, noses, ears and an entire face
  • detailed step-by-step how-to for creating tessellations (think M C Escher)

In addition to learning a new technique, you might also discover how relaxing it can be to create with repetitive patterns (that’s why they’re calling doodles “zen”-tangles lately)!
