Shimelle's new class

[pamcook]

My first layout from the class using Shimelle's first collection and some Heidi Swapp embellishments (because they were on my desk).
I love that these designs are so versatile. I know I'll use them over and over again.

This is great Pam! Great papers and colors too.

So what are you learning, Pam? I haven't joined yet.

I like your layout. I bought that paper and made all my Perfect collection layouts with it. I need to get photos on those darn pages.

Love that one Pam.

I joined but haven't yet received anything except the receipt.

This sketch (the first one) is about using your embellishments in a diagonal format along with papers with horizontal designs. You know Shimelle, she explains design theory so well. I feel like I'm learning everything for the first time.
Here's another page I just did using the same design. Papers with large printed designs like this freak me out a bit. I love them and then I'm afraid to use them.
These supplies are a few years old from MME. Who know how long I've had the black glitter embellishments? 5+ years at least.

Have you taken any of her classes before? If you have, check the forum (shimelle.com/forum) to see if the class is showing up in your profile. If this is your first, she'll send you an email with your log on information. It typically takes 24 hours for her to get you signed in.

Email her if its been more than 24 hours though.

Very cool one, Pam. And good on you for using old stuff. I'm trying to focus on using vs hoarding. Bad habit of mine.

Without my glasses and on a cell phone screen, the kitchen light reflecting on the fridge in the side by side photos look like eyes. Spookiness, indeed!

[ScrappinJen]

I see it, too, Pam. Spooky!

[mpizzazz]

Even with glasses and a laptop screen, they do look like eyes, Pam! Cool! You are so brave using those big embellishments. I really like the poison bottles, etc.

nothing in my mailbox yet... but it was yesterday afternoon when I signed up so I'll wait...

something like this will be perfect timing... I've laid out all the "page kits" for the rest of the FL vacation layouts.... just the basics: paper, photos, diecuts ... I've got the stack of thickers ready.... and brads, dots, ink, etc. And... I've recently printed out a bunch of page sketches (some of Shimelle's too) and I started a book (it's a blank journal) for keeping notes on challenges and sketches that I like... so I'll have that handy while watching the class, too.

Ha! I'm not sure being brave has much to do with it. Shimelle says do it, so I do!
I loved that paper collection - the orange glitter is amazing IRL. The poison bottles were obviously printed on the paper but I did layer some pink paislee rub-ons over them. Some you can see and some you can't but they look better on the page than they did gathering dust in my stash.

In Shimelle's first video, she talks about what she does when a product order arrives. Vastly different from what I do! I leave everything in the bag and file it with my other stuff. Sad but true. Tonight I'm going to pull together a similar kit based on the papers I bought at the beach (those from SA) and get some pages done!

these pages are fantastic Pam! I've yet to log into class... soon!

Oops, it wasn't obvious to me. I thought the poison bottles etc in that corner were embellies you added....
