An album for those first bath photos but oh so much more! What about photos of your new hot tub...the trip to the farm or pumpkin patch that will require a bath upon return...your dog getting a bath...feeding the ducks of course...a really rainy day...as a new baby gift.

Board Books 101
You’ll start with a 5” x 5” blank “Cara customized” chipboard book. Students will choose their own papers by bringing 3 sheets of 12” x 12” paper and a smile to class. I will bring some embellishments, ribbons and stamps to play with. Techniques include Mod Podge of cover and pages, adding extra pages to chipboard books, using transparencies, adding an acrylic page, adding transparency pockets, using tools with chipboard books, and tricks to adding embellishments.
This is a two hour class and you will complete your board book with lots of individual attention and support. You’ll also leave with an “Are You Board?” handout of ideas and techniques. This is a technique class and you will complete YOUR book, YOUR way.
