Heritage Pennant

May 17, 2010

This is one of my favorite pho­tos of my Mom and her Mother. I am guess­ing this photo was taken around 1944. I think photo booth pho­tos are the best. So want­ing to be able to see this photo more often I decided to cre­ate a lit­tle her­itage style pen­nant. Now I can dis­play it how­ever I wish.

Tips, Tech­niques and Tutorials

I had a super fun Sat­ur­day at The Crafty Scrap­per. I took two sol­der­ing classes 101 and 201. Trisha is a great teacher. If you ever have a chance to take a class from her I sug­gest you do. You will be so happy you did. I will show you some of the charms I made later in the week.

Have a great day. I’m off to send Car­olyn the info needed for my Tus­cany and Roses Tech­nique Class. I will be teach­ing it Fri­day evening June 11th dur­ing the crop. So if you are inter­ested in tak­ing this one give Car­olyn a call.972.923.3151

In my Tus­cany and Roses tech­nique class you will alter two pages from a Maya Road Dress Form album. I will teach you how to repro­duce a faux Ital­ian Stucco tex­ture that is per­fect to apply to lots of dif­fer­ent projects such as album cov­ers, tags and chip­board embell­ish­ments. You will also learn how to recre­ate beau­ti­ful roses using Grungepa­per, Paint, Dis­tress Stick­les and Glit­ter. This class is all about paint and ink so make sure you bring an apron or wear some­thing you will not mind get­ting dirty.
