Free Class and Announcing new project

I always try - but don't always manage it - to put a free class on here on a Sunday.

I have a free class with a difference.... more of an inspiration really.

 
It is an altered hybrid tin I made a littlew while ago and shared as a project on IACW a couple of weeks ago.

Really simple to make and would make a cute Christmas gift as you could fill it with all sorts of different things.

And the great thing .... it is about re-using stuff. Love it!

You can get the PDF with all the tips and pictures HERE

As ever I would love it if you took just a quick moment to comment here and let me know what you think.

Now the bigger news is that starting in January 2010 I have decided to run a year long project on here.

There will be class pages, prompts, templates, freebies and other googies, all as part of the year long project.

I have been gathering things for it for weeks now and hope people might like to join in and share.

It is a project i want to do for me - 2010 is a special year for me .... a BIG year and one I am not totally looking forward to. I wanted to do soemthing special to mark it and am embarking on a year long project to make sure I record it. But you won't have to have a special year to join in .... just a year.

And it is the sort of thing you will be able to dip in and out of as well.

I will be doing something every week - so 52 projects, freebies, classes, pages and prompts - but you are welcome to pop along and dip in and out as you want to.

I can't wait and will happily play alone, but it would be so much fun if people wanted to join and play along with me.

I will share more info nearer the time.

Can't wait for this, Karen. I visit your blog every day and have been meaning to leave a comment for ages, telling you how much inspiration I always get from your postings and the many projects you show us. I think you should write a book on scrapbooking - now there's one I'd definitely buy!! :)

Love the altered tin Karen so thanks very much for that.

I follow your blog on a daily basis so am really looking forward to the year long class - I am hoping it will be an important year for me too - not a special birthday but for other reasons.

[Mary Bainbridge]

I forgot to say that it is a big year for me too next year I will be 70 but not until Dec so a whole year of preparation and hopefully a celebration in December with my family up in Edinburgh I hope
