photography class input :)

Hi there! I cannot believe how quick time has gone by! We are so excited to get to Newport already! :)

I have a few questions for you guys who will be in the photography class.
A: Do you shoot manual?
B: Does your camera have manual capabilities?

And if you could rank in order of importance, it will greatly help us:

- composition
-lighting
-learning your camera
-perspective
-post processing

Thank you! If you have any questions, please post them here. Again, we'd love your input. We know that the range will be broad so if we could get an idea of where you're at, it'd help us plan better!
:)

Party with Patterned Paper!

Hi everyone, Shannon Tidwell here! Happy almost Holiday! Hope you have fun plans for the extended weekend. Me....I'm hoping to get a little scrapping done.

I am so excited about the class I've designed for Reflections. If I had to choose one word to describe the layouts....fun. But cheerful would work. Oh, and so would happy. You get the

picture! I love patterns and bright colors and that's exactly what we'll have in this class.

I saw that Susan shared a sneak peek of one of the layouts. Here are a few more...

I don't want to give away too much! Have a great weekend!

A Flicker of Fun!

On Friday, May 1st we will have Isle Carnival. What is Isle Carnival you ask? Well, it's a night of fun! Come dressed in Island attire and enjoy make and takes, a silent auction, some delectable treats, and a vendor faire. And speaking of vendor faires one of our favorite jewelry designers, Debbie Flicker will be there. Beautiful, bright colors and fabulous designs. You can check out more of her work in her etsy shop.

Shannon's Patterned Paper Class

Patterned Paper is what it's all about! This is going to be a entertaining class full of bright colors and wonderful KI Memories Patterned Paper...lots of it! We'll give center stage to the papers and make amazing pages. you will complete six
12"x12" layouts each with fun ideas you can take home and apply to your projects. So, let's put a little color (and pattern) in your life!

Jennifer, a 2002 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Famer, has been scrapbooking and stamping since about 2002. Her designs and page layouts have been published in Creating Keepsakes magazines and idea books, Scrapbooks Etc., Autumn Leaves "Designing With” books and several other publications. Her work can be seen each month in CK's Tool Time column, where Jennifer shows the many things you can do with one tool or product. She also writes a bi-monthly article for CreatingKeepsakes.com. A book based on these articles, “101 Things To Do With Your Scrapbook Supplies,” was released in June 2007 from Creating Keepsakes.
And avid rubber stamper, she frequently includes stamping techniques in her scrapbook designs. She also contributes design ideas to the Hero Arts catalogs and website.
Jennifer, who left a job as an engineer to scrapbook full time from her home in Cincinnati, also enjoys traveling around the world teaching stamping classes. Her family includes her husband Ken, step-daughters Kay and Audrey, and son, Colin.

We really wanted Jennifer to be part of Reflections and she did too, but due to scheduling conflicts she couldn't make it. BUT, she offered to design a make and take for us and Jamie Waters graciously offered to teach it for her. Jennifer always includes great techniques that can be used over and over again. We know you will learn something you can use over and over again.

Be sure to check out Jennifer's blog for tons of ideas.
