Time flies when you’re having fun and we certainly had a lot of that this time last weekend…
We can’t believe that it’s seven days ago that Birds of a Feather were in the throws of their second workshop over at Ansty Hall, with four stunning classes taught by the international designer Paige Taylor Evans.
Using her latest collection ‘Take me Away’ for Pink Paislee, Paige didn’t disappoint with her fabulous layouts, featuring her signature style!
Her first layout was ‘Too cute’
Using an adorable floral cut file, I think most of us had a ‘eureka’ moment when a simple technique was used to back the patterned papers to the cut file! If you’re not in the know, then you’ll have to wait until next time to discover what it is!
‘Awesome’ – need I say more was simply that!
Now I’m certainly one for having used many a patterned manufacturers strip, but seriously… this stunning ampersand is literally decorated with 20 different selvages!
Who would have thought of that?
Paige has the most beautiful handwriting – when we mentioned this, she replied that her husband Chris has said that her handwriting has changed three times since he’s been married to her! You can’t deny – she’s a scrapbooker through and through!
I ‘LOVE THIS’ too!
Big titles are so in at the moment, and those that are symmetrical in the number of their letters seem to aesthetically work so much better!
Cute huh? It’s so effective…
All too soon, it was time for Paige to teach the final layout of the weekend…
‘Sweet Life’ is the epitome of fancy cutting!
This class involved some serious cutting! Not for the faint hearted, it involved three fussy cut flowers and blooms from three separate papers! I’d have been having minor palpitations – not because of the detailed fussy cutting, but because of the fact that you had to cut into three entirely different papers!
Another stunning layout to finish off the most memorable of weekends!
To say we had a great time simply doesn’t do the weekend justice! IT WAS AMAZING and judging by the comments, it’s a sentiment that you all share too…
So on behalf of Birds of a Feather…
THANK YOU PAIGE xxx
