Graphic 45 Beach Mixed Media Album Class

 Saturday, March 2

10:15 to 4:00

During the long cold winter we all remember back to those sun kissed days of summer with its warmth, sand & sea when life was a beach! Katie has designed this 6 ½ inch square momento album using Graphic 45’s SunKissed line. This playful album, with her specially designed mixed media cover, contains five waterfall pages as well as flaps and pockets that can hold approximately 30 pictures. The deep ocean blues complimented with coral, cantaloupe and a burst of sunny yellow is perfect for all your images, trinkets or beach scavenged finds. As always it's best to come in and see the project in person on display at the front counter.

Please bring to class: 1"Flat Brush, small water spray bottle, liquid glue (I used Art Glitter Glue), score tape (various sizes), Vintage photo distress ink, ink applicator, glossy accents, scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder, heating tool (if you have one) and foam dots.
