Dresses to Die For Online Class

2013-06-03T17:21:30-04:00

I'm teaching my first Memory Box online class!

The class has 24-7 access and, as the picture above shows, uses the super-popular 2013 Memory Box Dress Form, Camilla evening Dress and Ava Party Dress dies. (See the inset circular thumbnails for detail shots from one each of the cards.)

In addition to three videos with accompanying PDF instructions, there's a PDF tutorial with screen shots on making computer-generated sentiments and a tips sheet on selecting the best patterned papers for these particular dies. There's a gallery and discussion board, as well, and, best of all, you have lifetime access to the class content!

Take this class at SNR's The Art Studio for $9.99.

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
