Online Class 4 - Chocolate Bling!!

Our next online class is very special. You will learn how to convert a digital photo into a chocolate-sepia by yourself, and then scrapping the photo. If you have always relied on purchased-actions for your photo conversion, then this is the time to learn to DIY!

There will be a step by step images of the photo editing in both Photoshop (compatible with PS7 and above) and Photoshop Elements (compatible with PSE 3.0 and above). It will be available to view a day prior to the class, for those of you who don’t print their photos at home. A hard copy of the steps in word document will also be emailed to you after the class is finished, so you can always use it for more editing in the future.

Our tutor for this class is Vita Thai. Vita is currently a Design Team member on For Keeps Creative Scrapbooking, and designs for Crafty Matters and Sketches Oz.

So if you have always wanted to learn how to change your photos digitally, this is one you shouldn't miss.

DESIGN-A-CHIPPIE Competition - Extended!!

We have received many requests to extend the deadline of this competition because many are interested and have only just heard about this competition. Therefore, we have decided to extend the deadline of this competition to 31 October 2007. So now we will be expecting more designs! :)

Online Class 3 - Grunge!

First of all, a big THANK YOU to all who registered for the Cake Slice Gift Box class. It was another successful online class, and I believe everyone had fun making the gift boxes.

We have Online Class 3 lined up for you. Our next tutor is Jill Geraghty-Groves. I am sure Jill's work does not need much introduction. You would have seen her at Scrapapple, Everyday Garbage, Magistical Memories, and has been on many other design teams.

Jill has kindly offered to teach a layout .... GRUNGE STYLE!!!!! I know many scrapbookers are interested to do a GRUNGE layout, so you'll really want to keep your eyes peeled on this one. Sneak peeks will be available soon. If you want to see more of Jill's work, visit her blog to get an idea. Her work is AWESOME!! (Is that a 'grunge' word?) :) :)
