Next month (October 8th from 6-9pm to be exact), I will be teaching a class (at Perfect Day Scrapbooking in Huntington Beach) of this super special mini album. It uses Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells line and will be perfect for Halloween. And the beautiful paper is not the only treat that makes it special, no no no. This album includes some of the tricks & techniques I learned at Laura Denison's Graphic 45 class at CHA, Las Vegas, including her "stack the deck" binding. And at $28.00 the cost of the class may be the biggest treat of all!
Scroll down for more sneak peaks of the album and info on where, when and how. Or if you are in the Soutern California area swing by Perfect Day (714-369-2862) and see the sample in person.
The stacked binding creates such a clean well hidden hinge for the pages. And the hardback cover is also made "from scratch."
And the pages are so interactive! Tags that slide out of both the middle and the ends of the pages! And each page can be combined how *you* want it so it is totally personalized.
And don't let the folded and layered look fool you. The technique for making these pocket pages is really quite simple - Once you know how!
The images used for Steampunk Spells are really creative and manage to be both a little creepy and a little cute, sightly whimsical and a bit witty, bright and fun all the while still having that great vintage feel Graphic 45 is known for. I really love this line.
And even from the back this mini is fun and pretty with classic steampunk gears and roses. It would look great on display.
So, now you have had a peek inside this mini album full of tags, pockets and some new tricks and treats to learn. If you want to make one of your own, please contact Perfect Day Scrapbooking in Huntington Beach (714-369-2862) to reserve a spot!
