Sneak peek at Thursday's class




This is a class sample for the Peanut & Butter Jelly class on Thursday, 6/26/09 @ 6:30pm. This is a community service project. I’m doing this class for those who are without food. The Alaska food bank is looking for donations, and they say they are always looking for PB & J. Class fee is $10 or $5 with Peanut Butter or Jelly food donation. I will be serving PB & J cookies, Jessie’s recipe! RVSP to reserve your space.

Here is a little bit about the class. I love the look of the popular layered books that a few scrap companies make. After looking at a few I decided to try to make one of my own, however this is smaller version. The largest page is 4x6. I used a deck of giant playing cards that I bought in Las Vegas last year. 1 deck of cards could make several books for family gifts (Christmas, a child color book, baby shower, wedding or your top 5). I could go on. My thought is to not use bulky embellishments on the inside (this is why I my daughter's page has nothing yet) and laminate each page, then it is finger friendly for those little ones to look at. Tell me what you think.

Supplies used: CTMH Bella Level 1 paper pack, CTMH Noteworthy stamp set, Pansy purple ink pad, purple & green paper flowers, random ribbon, buttons and Nestablities die cut.

  1. very pretty. What a neat idea using the large playing cards. They are like cardstock only sturdier.
