I fell in love with the Bungalow Lane collection when I first saw it - with the warm, colorful florals and quilt-inspired patterns that I envisioned using in an album filled with cozy warmth. This new class book is filled with texture and homespun elements for your photos and journaling and memories of home and family and friendship.

Here's a look at some of the pages of the album...

We will be using the Paige Evans Bungalow Lane collection to make this super cute scrapbook with a "vintage" 7gypsies book cover, twelve sheets of 12x12" paper, a beautiful acetate sheet, a full set of matching washi tapes, including darling scalloped-edge washi tape, stickers, die cuts, a full package of colorful bird paper clips, an enamel heart charm (each kit will contain one of four colors), lots of ribbons and trims and other items to embellish your album. Each page will give you lots of places for photos with folding and interactive techniques that I enjoy in my scrapbooks. I sewed on some pages to give my book a more homemade look, but this is completely optional to complete your album. All kits come with printed directions with color photos of each page and the video recording of the class on YouTube.

Class length: About 3 hours

Class cost: $65 plus shipping (unless you are purchasing the class at Scrap Shack near Houston.)
