BoBunny's "Dreams of Autumn" class with Katie Porcina

Fall will soon be in the air with all the beautiful reds, oranges and browns. Pinecones, leaves, pumpkins and the most adorable cute little foxes make this layout, using the new Bo Bunny “Dreams of Autumn” line, perfect for the season. Included in this class is a special technique utilizing deco foil transfer gel, Minc Machine and a stencil.

I always love to show you what to do with your scraps as there are a few from this project, so I've also included a Fall Thank you card in this class! Kits are available if you are not able to attend the class. This project has a bit of fussy cutting homework that will be available for pick up one week before class.

Please bring to the class: scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder, tape adhesive, foam dots/squares and brown ink (I use Tim Holtz Vintage Photo).

Layout Detail.

The pictures never do Katie's layouts justice, the depth, detail and creativity is awesome, please stop by the store to see the layouts and Thank you card on display.
