Don't fall outta your chair....

I am alive!
And yes, I do still scrapbook... and cardmake.... and create.

A lot has happened since I last posted - I will do my best to fill in but I will list a few highlights in the creative department....

1. Taking a class with TIM HOLTZ! He is an awesome teacher and it was even more fun to take it with some great friends. I also got to take some great classes with Graphic 45, Bo Bunny, Little Yellow Bicycle and much more!

2. Flying out to New Brunswick to join the APOS girls at a retreat and teach some classes. These girls are so much fun and it was an honour to join them. No sleep for 3 days almost did me in but it was the best time. Thanks Alissa again :)

3. Copics Copics Copics - I am teaching Copics like crazy. A beginner and advanced class every month and they are going great. Our store (Creative Scrapbooks) has a lot of new teachers and the classes are building like crazy. If you live in the area, don't miss out!

4. I just finished teaching my first online photo editing class through A PILE OF SCRAP!

We realize not everyone will have Photoshop - so one class will be Photo Editing with Photoshop ($30)
and one will be with a free program that I will provide you with links for the free download.($20).

These to lessons will teach you how to do the following:
Cropping a Photo
Changing a Photo to Black and White or Sepia
How to Use Text on your Photos
How to Use Photoshop Brushes
How to use Photo Masks
How to Eliminate Unwanted Objects from Your Photos
Focal Black and White (colouring parts of the photo but leaving the rest black and white)
How to Use Photoshop Actions
How to Use Photo Plugins
How to Create a Photo Collage
How to Brighten and Sharpen your Photos
How to Create and Place a Watermark on Your Photos


You will receive the 10 lessons in your email so that you can work at it on your own time. Only those that have paid for the class will have access to the information. The information will stay there for you to refer to after the class is done and I will do my best to answer any and all questions! If you are interested, please leave me a message and I will send you the info!

And that is it for now - but look out, I may go post crazy this week!
