Some Online Workshops :)

Finally you can purchase two of my online workshops as “Instructions Only” workshops :)

*What a Wonderful World*

In this “What A Wonderful World” workshop you will create a wonderful acrylic album with lots of Prima goodies, paint and markers. You will learn how to overcome the difficulties of working with an acrylic album and take advantage of the acrylic to create a lot of playful depth. You will get access to a private blog site with complete instructions, tutorials, videos and photos. This way you can work at your own pace… no rushing to keep up or, for you over-achievers, no one to slow you down ;)

The main Workshop with Kit is sold out. You can purchase the Instructions Only Workshop for 10$ here.

 *Story Teller – A Secret Keeper Album – Workshop*

Do you have a story to tell that is like a well kept secret? A story that is well worth to be told and just needs a special place to unfold and be told in all its beauty? Well then this class “Story Teller – A Secret Keeper Album” is the right workshop for you. I will show you how to create a very special album which can be displayed openly- yet still hiding your story. You will work with a lot of wonderful Prima Products, Paints and Inks. You can work on your own pace and in the comfort of your own home.

You can purchase this as an “Instructions Only” Workshop for 10$ here.

There are also a couple Workshops with the Material Kit left – you can get one for 25$ here.

Layout: Listen Young Me *STM #97*

This week’s song at Scrapping the Music is the Mary Tyler Moore TV Theme Song and I love the lyrics.

Der Song der Woche bei Scrapping the Music ist das Anfangslied der Serie Mary Tyler Moore und ich liebe den Text.

*Listen Young Me*

Journaling: I would so love to sing this song for you – you selfdoubting, unsecure for happiness striving girl: Love is all around, no need to waste it. You can have a town, why don’t you take it? You’re gonna make it after all. How will you make it on your own? The world is awfully big, girl this time you’re all alone. But it’s time you started living. It’s time you let someone else do some giving! You can have a town, why don’t you take it?

Supplies: Rose Moka Mec Collection, Rose Moka Diva Collection, Rose Moka Pique NIque Collection, Rose Mokka Letter Stickers, Tim Holtz Stamps, Hambly Rub On.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Ich kann es kaum erwarten, was Ihr für Layouts zaubert!

Unglaublich…der August ist schon da! Und während ich eigentlich ein wenig traurig bin, dass das Jahr so schnell an mir vorbeifliegt….freue ich mich schon total auf die nächsten 4 Monate. Es wird super aufregend! Aber zunächst mal …meine nicht so aufregende letzte Woche ;)

Denmark Workshops in August :)

MultiScrap will have it’s 5th anniversary in August and to celebrate they invited me to teach 3 classes on August 20th and 21st. I had the pleasure to work with Iben before and I so look forward to this! Here is what is waiting for you :)…in Danish :) (I will teach in English or German of course- LOL)

MultiScrap hat sein 5.Jubiläum im August und um dieses ausgiebig zu feiern, hat man mich eingeladen im August, genauer am 20. und 21., 3 Workshops zu unterrichten. Ich hatte ja schon das Vernügen mit Iben zusammenzuarbeiten und ich freue mich riesig! Und das ist was Euch erwartet :) in Dänisch (ich unterrichte aber in Englisch oder Deutsch – LOL)

* Evig kærlighed*

I denne Prima workshop – undervist af Nathalie Kalbach vil du skabe et LO med mange sjove og inspirerende teknikker. Medbring et foto af dig og dine kære(ste) eller måske et antikt bryllups foto af bedste/olde forældre el. lign. LO’et vil være både romantisk og moderne. Du vil komme til at arbejde med spændende Prima produkter – nogle ikke set i Danmark før !! Derudover bruges der alkohol inks, akryl maling og folie til at udforske spændende måder man kan bruge disse materialer på og skabe et unikt stykke kunst ! Disse teknikker kan du også bruge til fremtidige projekter og er meget brugbare. Nathalie vil desuden vise dig hvordan du nemt kan ændre dit LO til et flot vægophæng der kan blive et smukt midtpunkt i dit hjem. OBS: BEGRÆNSET ANTAL PLADSER !!

In this Prima Workshop taught to you by Nathalie Kalbach, you will create a layout with a lot of fun and inspiring techniques. Use a photo of you and your loved one(s) or even a heritage wedding photo to highlight a relationship in a romantic but modern way. You will work with Prima Marketing Products, alcohol inks, acrylic paints and foil and explore interesting ways to use those media to create an unique piece of art. These techniques can be used in future projects and are versatile. Nat will also show you how to turn your layout easily into a wall hanging that will be a beautiful eye-catcher in your home.

*Hyldest album*

Du behøver ikke at være en rockstjerne for at være en stjerne i nogens liv !

Der er mennesker i vores liv som vi sætter stor pris på. Ær dem på din egen måde med deres eget personlige tribute album.

I denne Prima workshop tager Nathalie dig med ud på en tur som du måske ikke fra starten af ved hvor præcis ender, men Nathalie har en plan og hun kender målet !!

Nathalie vil vise dig sjove og spændende teknikker med alkohol inks og embossing pulver som vil overraske dig og tilføre en helt unik effekt til dit specielle hyldest album.

I dit workshop kit finder du smukke Prima produkter som vi vil bruge på spændende og unikke måder.

OBS: BEGRÆNSET ANTAL PLADSER !

You don’t have to be a rock star to rock somebody’s life. There are people in our life that we value a lot. Honor them in your own way with their own personal Tribute Album.  In this Prima Workshop you go for a Spin but you don’t know exactly how it ends. Nat will show you fun and playful techniques with Alcohol inks and Embossing Powders that will surprise you and add a unique sparkle to your special tribute. In your workshop kit you will also find beautiful Prima products that can be used in versatile and unique ways.

 *Mystery Mix Workshop*

Vi har endnu ingen sneak peak billeder af denne klasse, men det er en LO klasse hvor du kommer til at arbejde med produkter fra: American Crafts, Sassafras og Graphic 45 !!

+ der vil være nogle spændende teknikker at lære som du også i fremtiden kan bruge på dine LO’er.

Yderligere information om hvad der skal medbringes kommer primo august.

OBS: Begrænset antal pladser.

Can’t wait to see you there!
