Do
you want to become a better scrapbook layout designer?
Do you want to spend less time staring at a blank
piece of cardstock and more time turning it into
something with a wow factor? Do you simply want
more confidence in how you put everything together?
If
you've answered "yes" to any of the
above, then join Cathy Zielske as she kicks off
our year-long 4Experts Series by bringing back
her popular class, Design Your Life. This
class is an intensive but practical study of graphic
design as it applies to the hobby you love. Cathy
has been working as a graphic designer for 19
years and is also the author of two definitive
books on scrapbook design, Clean&Simple
Scrapbooking and Clean&Simple Scrapbooking,
The Sequel.

Cathy
believes that design is as much a tool for scrapbookers
as a paper trimmer or adhesive. The more you understand,
the better your pages will look and the more confidence
you'll have. She believes it's not about the latest
and greatest products or how awesome your camera is
or how creative you are; it's about how you work with
images, spaces and words. There's no one more qualified
than Cathy to show you how to elevate your own style
through time-tested principles of design.
|
But
don't expect this to be a dry, old-school lecture
approach. Cathy will deliver this class as only
she can, with her sense of humor and signature
style, so prepare to learn AND have a really good
time in the process. Cathy will also share 36
of her unpublished layouts in the weekly class
handouts.
Over
12 weeks, you will create the ultimate design
binder/scrapbook featuring a collection of your
own 36 layouts, ranging in size from 8" x
8 " to 12" x 12" and everything
in between. When it's all over, you'll have both
a scrapbook that documents three months of your
life and a vital design resource you'll use for
years to come. Finally, you will walk away with
the design confidence you need to make beautifully
designed pages.
