Happy New Year! I'm allowed to say that this plate in January for two reasons, 1) I've not seen most of you yet this year, and 2) I'm up first for your January Virtual Crop!
I hope you have had a fine start to 2025, and have lots of fun times booked in throughout the year to play with pretty paper, and spend making memories with good friends!
I've designed this months class using Vicki Boutin papers. Who doesn't love a bit of VbB to brighten their January up?
My first layout features an interesting cut, that I think looks really striking on paper, but it did turn out to be a wee bit complicated to explain in the instructions, so I've included some diagrams and measurements, which I hope make some sense!
The second layout includes a bit of getting messy (but not that messy, I promise). I used white gesso to tone down the background paper, so my photo and the elements could pop. Yes that's a pic of me (and Rik) circa 2001 with braids down to my thighs! haha
Don't forget we love to see your layouts, so please snap a pic and share in the facebook group! 🩷
