Summer of Sketches (and other class news)

Summer of Sketches is a season-long new class that just started at Studio Calico today. Like seriously... it's going to run for the next 3 months!! It's lead by Jamie Waters and features a bunch of other crazy talented contributors.... as well as me ;-)

The way it works is that every Monday a new video and layout from Jamie will appear in the classroom. There will also be a sketch based on her layout as well as tips for how to make it work for you. Then there will be two contributors making a layout and a round-robin style approach where each scrapbooker will work from a sketch of the layout created by the person before them.

By the end of it you'll have 12 start-to-finish videos from Jamie, 12 sketches based on her work plus 36 further sketches based on the class projects. That's endless inspiration!
Plus if you sign up now you'll also receive this 4x6" stamp set posted to you absolutely FREE!

I can't share my layout with you yet, but I've managed to sneak in this little peek of the project I'm contributing a little bit later on in the proceedings. I've used the latest Scout Scrapbook kit (still love all that shiny gold!) plus the exclusive stamp set too.

You can find all the details about how to register for class HERE.

And if you're in the mood for classes right now then you might also want to check out this Calligraphy Class taught by Maghon Taylor of All She Wrote Notes. As you can imagine, this one is all about learning practical tips and techniques for creating unique hand-lettered pieces in your own calligraphy style. It also comes with a FREE class kit consisting of a Speedball Holder and 2 Extra Fine Nibs. These are the nibs recommended by Maghon and used by her throughout the class so you'll be able to follow along with ease.

And lastly we have the amazing Lisa Truesdell teaching the latest addition in the Mini Book Workshop classes that are running throughout the year. She's going to share tips and techniques for how to use a travellers notebook to record adventures from a family vacation. This class is super affordable at only $10, or buy the whole 6 classes for only $50.

Lisa will be using a kit designed exclusively for the class and which can be picked up for an extra charge. All the details for enrolling in the Mini Book Workshop can be found HERE.

Happy classing!
