A couple of weeks ago the new session of my Yearlong Class started up again and so far it seems like we’re going to have a ton of fun!

All the classes are sketch based this year and we’re lucky enough to have had Mary Ann design all the exclusive sketches for us – you can only get them in this class! If you like sketches or want to learn more about how to use them to suit you, this is the last chance to sign up and get in on the good times.

Our paper this year is from the Studio Calico Wanderlust collection and I wanted to show a bunch of colours and patterns to start off the year, which led to this cover page LO:

That big black and white block was meant for a 4×6 photo but I liked how it looked on its own so much that I think I’m going to leave it as is – designer’s perogative! 🙂

The initial kit includes some amazing resist alphas stickers and cork hearts:

And some fabulous gold alphas and flair:

The January LO is fairly simple but I taught how to stretch a sketch and alter it to suit your photo needs:

We used more of those resist alphas with some enamel dots:

and gold letters with October Afternoon labels:

and finished it off with great Project Life arrow stickers:

I think there may be one kit left so if you want to get the amazing core kit and initial instructions and then join us for the rest of the year, now is the time to go for it!

As always, I’ll be posting to twitter, instagram, and Facebook with #YLA2014 so keep an eye out for sneak peeks close to the end of each month.
