Will be starting right here in about 8 minutes. This class will be just under an hour long...because I have hosting duties at noon...so get your supplies together as it will move a little quickly. I completely understand if you want to just watch it and then put together your layouts later.

For the first layout we are going to start with this fabulous sketch.


For this page I am using a piece of Avalanche cardstock by Bazzill, as my base. Cats eye ink in rose, an edge punch by Martha Stewart.( all of these can substituted for items you have) I am just telling you exactly what I am using, in addition to the October Afternoon supplies.



Here is what the completed layout looks like.

Cindy...I peeked into your gallery to see these layouts! They are all fabulous!!! Great class girl!

[Kimandasmo]

As you can see i rotated the sketch, which is a great way to utilize the same sketch in more than one way. I started by cutting the Strawberry Jam paper to size. I did this by cutting one inch off both vertically and horizontal. I then used my edge punch along both the top and the bottom of the paper.



Next I centered it on my cardstock and adhered.

I can't wait--though I may put it together once all the directions are compleTe!

My next step was to cut the squares. Although he sketch shows 9 squares we are only going to use six. Using the Front Porch paper, cut one two rows ..each one should have 2 circles in it..like so

then turn that paper and cut it so you have 4 circles in each square..like this.

what a great layout!!

[Kimandasmo]

Now you can ink the sides of your squares.

At this point you can begin to line them up on your page...there is no set distance from the top of bottom, just wherever you feel comfortable with them. Here is how I lined mine up, I also adhere my photo in at this point as well.

The next step is to work on the border that goes along the bottom edge of the photos. For this I cut a 1 inch by 12 inch strip fromFront Porch paper, I then used my edge punch and inked it.

You're gonna show me how quick it can be to make LOs.
