School has started or it is getting ready to, so it's time to get back in a more structured routine. Fall means more classes and holiday classes ( Halloween lines are already in and on display). Here is a run down of the classes I have scheduled at this moment for August and September. I know there are a couple more in the works ( Bobbie will have a Halloween class and I believe Angie will also. I'm also tickled pink to announce Jen McGlon will be here for a Halloween, Fall or Christmas doll so watch for class date.)

Memoranda Journal Album
Sat., Sept. 9th
2:30-5:30
Debby Schuh, $70 *
Kits are Available
Featuring the beautifully collaged Tim Holtz Idea-ology Memoranda paper collection, we will
each create a unique journal and scrapbook to hold our family photos and stories or to use as a
travel journal or to use for anything you can dream up! This workshop is filled with creative
techniques for making your book interactive and filled with secret pocket and booklets for all
your stories and photos. We will be using the Cinch machine to add wire-binding to our custom
journals; we will learn to color and customize die cuts with Distress Markers; we will be learning
tricks for expanding the pages of our books to make them more useful; and lots more!
Each book will be unique as you choose from a wide variety of paper dolls and botanicals for
the cover of your book.* This is a great opportunity to make the cover more personal with a
feminine or more masculine or childlike cover. The twelve sheets of double-sided paper that
come in the class kit also offer limitless choices to make the book your own. From the door knob
on the front cover to the rub ons and snippets of ephemera and trinkets that you'll find in your
kit, you'll have fun playing and creating and learning with me!
Class kits come with instruction with color photos. Your kit will contain an assortment of paper dolls and botanicals. The book can be assembled with binding rings that you might have instead of the Cinch machine.
If you would like to make your book cover just like the sample book, you can purchase the full
packages of Idea-ology Paper Dolls (TH93555) and Botanicals (TH93554) separately.
Tools to bring to class: Each person needs their own 12" paper trimmer and adhesive (I most
frequently use 1/4", 1/2", and 1 1/2" wide Scor Pal tape). Please also bring these helpful tools...
scissors, pencil, ruler, stapler, scoring tool, Crop a Dile punch, corner rounder punch, sanding
tool, non-stick craft sheet, ink to distress with (I use a pretty dry Ranger Distress Ink pad in the
Vintage Photo color), ink blending tool, foam adhesive. Optional: Corner chomper, Cinch
machine, We R MemoryKeepers tab punch, wire cutters, Ranger Distress Markers (Broken
China, Mustard Seed, Spun Sugar, Peeled Paint, and Worn Lipstick are a few of my favorites),
Kleenex for blending markers.
