Class Length: 3.5 – 4 Hours    Skill: Intermediate

This “Family” class is full of techniques that can be incorporated into future projects and layouts. You will learn tips on using Crackle Paint, Stickles, Decorative Scissors, Embroidery Floss and Distress Ink. Once you get the hang of these techniques you will want to use them all the time. The techniques are not hard but some are a bit more time consuming than others. Just remind yourself the impact they create on your projects and layouts makes the time spent worth every second. This project is also a two in one. You can either hang your “Family” banner or you can set it on a table as a mini album. How you decide to display it is up to you. Either way, people are going to love looking at it.

While I was in Beaumont Alan and Ansley switched my scraproom and Ansley’s bedroom. I got a bigger scraproom and Ansley got the room with the polka dots painted on the walls (Terri’s old room). Ansley loves anything with polka dots. This was a huge task and I am so thankful I did not have to do it!!! I still cannot believe they got it completed before I came home. I think the 170 pounds of scrapping products all over the living room was a great motivator. I received a huge box of supplies from Fiskars while I was gone. So this on top of my MMM prizes I was in serious trouble. As soon as I got home Saturday started working on getting organized so I could fit all this product in my scraproom. Here are a few photos showing my storage solutions.

Vintage buttons stored in a glass jar I bought for .59 cents at a resale shop.

My basic supplies stored in old glass vases/planters. I found these at a resale shop for $1 each. They are the perfect size for my work area.

This little dish used to hold my Mom’s bubble bath when she was a little girl but now it holds my rhinestones and gems.

The plastic storage containers are from Target. The metal buckets I found at JoAnns on clearance.

These clear over the door shoe holders are perfect for my paints, embossing powders and punches.

Also… I have started blogging on the Memory Makers Masters Blog. You need to check it out. Each MMM will post off and on during the week. Lots of fun stuff to see, learn and read… layouts, techniques and ideas. I hope you visit and post to say hi.
