Upcoming Prima Classes at Made with Love

Hey scrappers, my latest upcoing Prima classes this November at Made with Love, a Coffee Break mini album and a Bloom Girl mixed media canvas layout... The mini album is a pure beginner class where the placement of elements and some fussy cutting involve... It's actually a pre-empt class for scrappers who don't really know my style well especially in areas of cutting and paper utlization...

The next interesting class is a mixed media layout class using one of the Bloom Girl stamp... You will learn how to apply colours on the Bloom Girl using various Ingvild Bolme chalk edgers, as well as creating the background using various mixed media products from Prima... It'd be something fun... But I'd have to warn you guys that it's not a pure beginner class... If you can't really colour, you may face problems and there's some fussy cutting to be done prior in attending the class in order to maximize the 3hr workshop...

Below is the promotional collage and additional pictures... Hope to see some of you at class..

Cheers!!!

A Roam Broom Halloween Layout

Today over at Clear Scraps Blog Post, I'm sharing this super cute layout using Graphic 45 retired Happy Hunting collection... Featuring my niece when she was about 2 years old, trying to be a housekeeper at home... She insisted to sweep the floor for us but she ended up getting the wrong broom and ended up getting herself stuck underneath her pants... Struggling to get herself out from the "broom", she gave this super duper cute expression that was so desperately funny... So out I came and took this epic moment of hers... Haha... Come to think about it, she was really too cute and funny...

I started off with a sheet of 12" x 12" acrylic sheet and centre down with a piece of  pattern paper... Did some minimal mixed media work here - random damask stenciling and some painting on the chipboard pieces... As I wanted this to be cute and simple, I kept this layout to the minimum... As usual in what I love to do, I gave my niece a witch hat and a tulle veil, turning her into a cute little witch for this Halloween...

Halloween is only this Friday, I hereby wish everyone a Happy Halloween!!! Have fun and happy crafting!!! Cheers!!!

Here is the list of supplies for this layout:

• Clear Scraps 12" x 12" Acrylic Sheet
• Clear Scraps Theatre Chipboard Album
• Clear Scraps 6" Damask Stencil
• Graphic 45 Happy Hunting (Happy Hunting, Pumpkin Time, Jolly Jack-o-Lantern, Word Play, Bewitched)
• Art Anthology Sorbet (satin sheen gold)
• Clear Snap Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink (tuxedo & carrot)
• Swirls Chipboards
• Black Gesso

Graphic 45 Halloween Tomb Party Gift Set

Today on Graphic 45 tutorial blog post, I'm sharing how to make these incredible fun Tomb Party gift set for this Halloween using An Eerie Tale and Steampunk Spells paper collection.

As I was browsing the Steampunk Spells papers, I came across these 4 intriguing Halloween characters-Miss Ima Fraid, Dr. Dreadful, Mr. Seymour Bones & Madame Macabre. I saw the potential to transform them into unique tomb-masters for a Halloween Party. The result is a gift set with matching invitation cards, where each guest is assigned a tombmaster based on their invitation. It's a fun and creative twist for your Halloween celebration.

Curious about where I got those crosses and skeleton hands? I handmade them using a glue gun and painted them according to my needs. I believe these are available for sale in your local craft store. But for a more personal touch, I decided to make them.

Download the tombstone template HERE and follow this tutorial on how to make these.

I hope this will give you some ideas for creating a theme for Halloween.

Happy crafting!!!
