THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

I've joined in on a class at Debbie Hodge's Get it Scrapped site being taught by Jane Howden.  You can check out The Street Where You Live class here.   (But you may have to register with the forums to use this link.)  It is a year long free class that is a lot of fun.  I'm only two months behind now that I've completed the first month.  Three sketches for traditional scrappers or templates for digi-scrappers are supplied by Jane for each month.  I can do one template, two templates, or all three templates--whatever I feel like doing.  The first month I did two of the templates and here they are:
TSWYL-There's-No-Place-Like
Credit:  Katie Pertiet papers:  Cotton Easter Red, King Me Paper-6, Vintage Text, and Simple Spring.  Template by Jane Howden.  Fonts are Army Expanded and Century Gothic.
TSWYL1b-My-View-Web
Credits:  Papers--Irene Alexeeva, Rule My World; Gina Miller, Country Cottage; Michelle COleman, Color My World.  Frames by Kimi B.  Label from Song Bird Avenue Charity Kit; Wire Clip by Irene Alexeevba, Rule My World.  Fonts used are Happy Daze and Century Gothic.
I know what you are all thinking...what happened to the Art Journal Caravan?  Well, I discovered I have to learn some of the digital techniques for art journaling before I continue making layouts for that class.  Patti Knox is teaching a digital art journal class at Get it Scrapped, and I've signed up for that.  After the class is finished, I should have a little more knowledge under my belt so that I can do catch up in that class.   I will finish the Art Journal Caravan.  In the meantime, The Street Where You Live is a fun free class that will keep me busy until I start catch up on the Art Journal Caravan.
