Bringing back one of my favorites . . .

If you used to take my classes at For Keeps Sake (yes, they are closed. insert sad face.) you might remember my Innies & Outties workshops. Because they were one of my favorites I'm bringing the concept back for Halloween.

 

We'll begin with a We R Memory Keepers linen 8x8 binder and add page protectors with photo mats on the inside of each page protector. Then we'll decorate the outside of each page protector with embellishments = INNIES & OUTTIES.  Each student will get a full Simple Stories Vintage Halloween collection kit + lots of other embellishments I will be adding to each class kit.

The cover will be layered similar to the photo above.

I'll be teaching this class at

Checkered Cottage, Kirkwood MO

October 13 (all day class)

and at

The Doodlebug Inc, Jasper IN

October 19 (all day class)

Hope to see you there!
