December Album

Leave a reply

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…..

Is your December full of Christmas Parties, end of year concerts, decorating the house, baking treats and writing out Christmas cards?

Are you mostly too busy to busy to put all these memories into an Album? Are you looking for a simple way to do it this year?

I have the solution for you! Join us for a class (or take away kit with full instructions and images) and you can have your whole album ready in as little as 3 hours! All you will need to do during December is take photos (everyone has a mobile phone with camera handy right?) and do a little bit of journaling. Not even 1 minutes work per day! And at the end of December you are left with a lasting memory.

Our December Album class has been so popular, we ordered in some more product and will be running the class 2 more times this week.

Tuesday night 7pm till 10pm and on Wednesday from 11.30am till 2.30pm.

Class costs $65 which includes the full kit. All you will need to bring is your paper trimmer, adhesive and scissors.

Kit Includes:

Ring Binder Album 8×6″

2 packs of Captured Moments cards

3 rolls of washi tape

4 sheets of 12×12″ paper

14 x album inserts (10 already in album – extra 4 given)

1 sheet of large numbers

1 sheet of alphabet stickers

1 pack of collectables (over 50 die cuts in pack)

1 pack of captured moments sticker packs

If you would like to create the album at home – the kit will cost $60

We will be using the very popular Webster’s Pages, flowers, brads and alphabet stickers.

Please bring a good pair of scissors with you as well as a close up photo. I used a 5×7″ one, but you can use a 4×6: one as you can just make the hole a bit smaller. Everything else is included.
