This weekend I went back to school with the Vancouver School Board. I taught a Scrapbooking 101 class at Eric Hamber Secondary on Saturday from 10am to 3pm.
There were 6 students in the class and they were all great. So keen and full of questions. I had a great time with them.
I was a little nervous about what I should put in the class and how long it would take to complete the class. It's so hard to predict how much time people will need to finish the tasks but I wanted to balance that with giving them as much of the basics as I could.
The goal of the class was to learn as many scrapbooking techniques as possible and walk away with a small scrapbook that could document the learnings of the class. Here are a few pictures of what we completed, all in a day!
The scallop effect on the purple piece was a breeze for this class. I was so proud of them! It's such a great trick to make a double use out of the corner rounder. The key when putting this page together is adhere all the pieces first and apply the black ribbon last.
The animals on this page were such a hit! It was a great way to learn how you can add colour to your stamps by colouring them in with watercolour pencils and a watercolour brush. I had to include a picture of them up close. They are such cute animals!
The left side of this two page spread is a simple one to put together with the red piece on the white base first then the blue, then the white photo mat and the dark blue with red ribbon on last. The right side is a little more complex only because of the three white pieces at the bottom that get fed through the blue hemp. You'll want to take the hemp, feed the white pieces through and then tie the hemp around the dark blue banner at the bottom. After you've tied the hemp, you can use adhesive to attach the white pieces to the blue banner. Then you can attach the banner to the red cardstock and continue attaching the remaining pieces.
It was a full day but I think it's safe to say that it was fun for all!
