10am Decorative Beyond the Page

with Cassandra Glass

Everyone is familiar with beyond the page items, but mostly as scrappers we stick to the mini album of various descriptions. In this chat we will discuss the wide range of BTP decorative items. Not always incorporating photography, these items can be just as personal and sentimental as a beautiful page or book. Simple everyday items can easily be transformed into something beautiful with a little imagination and know-how. Thinking outside the square and displaying little pieces of our personality around our home, we will discuss the practicalities and possibilities of BTP decorative items. Once the creative juices are flowing, you will walk away seeing that plain wall clock or biscuit tin in a whole new light.

In this chat we will talk about creative and simple journalling as well as how to incorporate more interesting approaches to this fundamental element in our art. Different styles and formats to telling your story can make even the most avid avoider inspired to write it down. So many examples and techniques will be discussed and demonstrated, that no longer will there be any excuses!
