Well, it is time for a fun blog hop with Prima and National Scrapbook Day!! This is a wonderful opportunity to get together and scrap to your hearts content and enjoy some fabulous Live With Prima Classes that are running for this event!! You can find the online Live With Prima Classes here:
Check out the Prima blog as well for more inspiration as well as following the links of the Prima Educators and Design Team participating in this wonderful blog hop.
Here is a little inspiration from me to help this fun day along as well!! It can be so much fun to create wonderful layered tags like these...
These tags have been made using the Leeza Gibbons Wishful Thinking range from Prima. They combine fussy cutting with layers of die cut goodness (Spellbinders, Cheery Lynn and and Magnolia Dies along with Couture Creations embossing folder used) for beautiful results, but what can you do with these tags once created.....
You can create a fun LO and so much of the hard work is done for you when you create the tag!! The dimension from the layering is amazing and it gives you an opportunity to practice layering on a smaller size (ie the tag) while then being able to utilise it onto a layout or a card.
I am teaching both the tag class and the layout class (booked out) at Paper Flourish this month. Thursday 9th May 6.30pm or Friday 10th May 10am for the tag class and there are still spaces left in this both night time and daytime classes for creating the tags, however the LO class which comes afterwards is booked out.
Here is the list for the blog hop! (If you get lost just come back here to the Prima blog and catch back up! Our NSD LWP teachers are listed first so you can see their class projects!)
