Heidi Swapp Memory File Tutorial

Heidi Swapp Memory File Tutorial

May 1, 6-8pm

$25

Instructor Dawn

Hi All!

I am so excited to announce this class! First off let me start by saying this class is a TUTORIAL on HOW to make Heidi Swapp Memory Files into "albums"; the project is FULLY customizable and NOT complete.  Now I'm sure your wondering WHAT I mean by not complete; to sum it up in a nut shell, you will NOT be decorating your file with embellishments and layouts until you go home. Your "file album" will be assembled together, you will just  need to add pictures and embellishments later.

  In this tutorial you will learn how to decorate the outside of a file with Tim Holtz Distress Stains and Dylusions Stamps (this is WHERE you will customize to your own tastes, I will have a selection of stains and stamp sets out).  You will also learn how to bind a mini album, attach files together, and make a flippable mini. 

The pictures are of a completed file that will hold over 40, 4x6" photos! You will be able to take your album home to complete the process of adding pictures and embellishments.

Your Tutorial will include a Kit to make the  "file album":

1 Memory File- (random, first come first choose)

1 Manilla File

1 Clip

5 Sheets of Pattern Paper (mix of Amy Tangerine and Heidi Swapp)

1 12x12 Card Stock

1 8.5x11 Card Stock

1 Heidi Swapp "Foto Flipbook" (choose either the Sunglasses one in the last picture, or one with camera)

2 page protectors

Supply list: Standard Craft Kit with paper trimmer

*Additional Heidi Swapp  items you may wish to purchase: Day Glow Neon Tapes,Sugar Chic Banner Delights, Color Instaframes,Sugar Chic Stix; Amy Tangerine Bits

Heidi Swapp Memory Files: Be still my heart!

Hi All!

Again I find myself apologizing for my lack of web posts: I sure hope you've taken the time to follow me on my Facebook Store page; which I update daily, and frequently.

Anyhoo...

For those of you not following me on Facebook: this is a Heidi Swapp Memory File! If you have not heard of these yet, hold onto your socks cause they are simply AMAZING!  First off I will start by saying they are NOT supposed to replace scrapbooking, they are simply another medium for us to play with and express our creativity in a new way!  Plus you can use all the elements in your everyday scrappping.  I'll post two more posts this week with regular layouts I've made with these awesome new lines!

My Memory File sample is made with the AWESOME Color Magic Files.  They start off solid White: you ink them up any way you want; I used the FABULOUS new Dylusions Spray which BEYOND float my boat....the color magic is  a resist paper, everywhere the pattern part is glossy will resist the inks! Presto, you have a custom color project!  I also used Heidi's gorgeous new paper line Sugar Chic, and her amazing new Openable Embellishments, Stix, Neon Pens which are positively my FAVORITE (they write ON pictures!!!), her Banners and much much more!  

Please make sure you check out my FACEBOOK page and look through the photos, I explain them in more detail. And please check out Heidi's Blog for clearly the BEST explanations and pictures!  I DO ABSOLUTELY LOVE the entire collection which is WHY I CARRY the ENTIRE Collection!  Actually I sold out of most things by Day 1 of me stocking them! I had to re-ordered them that night. I have NEVER done that before! Good news for YOU...I restocked Friday! And still have MORE on the way!  Pop in to see the samples and ask any questions.  I'll be doing a class with a file VERY soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by; your comments are always appreciated.

Hi All

Well as usual, I am blown away with the Design Team's creations.  This month they we told to choose papers from the gorgeous Echo Park Line, This & That.  There is a Girl Collection and a Boy Collection to this line; and to be fair, they all had to choose from the girl line! But I find both the lines are very interchangeable.  Kari's layout is of her son!  I also asked the DT to make some card this month too, and I must say they did a bang up job!

Pop by the shop and grab some gorgeous Echo Park and see DT creations in real life...always better then my pictures!
