Those who know me have a fair understanding of my obsession with crafts…  obsession being an understatement. I am not sure why, but I feel the intense desire to learn every craft know to man, and as such I have hundreds of UFO’s (no, not the flying kind - un finished objects, though I know if aliens came to earth I would want to learn all of their crafts as well).

Anyway enough waffling on, you get the point.

One of the crafts I have taken a small obsession with recently is Scrapbooking (or paper crafts).

Next Sunday at our lovely Brown Owls monthly meet I will finally be able to pass on some of the skills and techniques I have learned in this craft through my tag making class. I am so excited!

Below are some images of the little projects we will be making. I have tried to keep them small and uncomplicated, though at the same time teaching as many techniques as possible. (has to suit beginners through to experienced paper crafters - and at the same time only take a maximum of 3 hours to create)

I’m charging $5 for the class; God only knows that scrapbooking is one, if not the most expensive craft/hobby to start up (I don’t even want to think about how much I have spent over the years…) so keeping the costs to a minimum was also a factor.

I think the tags I have made are cute, if I do say so myself, and really hope my friends like them and enjoy making them!

Thank You tag.

I haven’t yet finished this one, so I don’t want to spoil things by showing the unfinished item. A quick trip to spotlight tomorrow to pick up some pink buttons and It’s all done, but I thought I would post up a sneak preview just to wet your appetite a bit.

 That’s all of them. So let me know what you think.
