What do I get for Dad?

This is the question that rolls around at least three times a year: Father's Day, Christmas, and his birthday. Never fear, Heidi Swapp and I have your solution to that gift conundrum RIGHT HERE! You'll love planning, creating, assembling, and giving this awesome (masculine!) album, filled with photos and genuine sentiment to your favorite guy in the whole world!

Our Goal:Create Dad that Special Gift

Teaming up with Heidi Swapp for another Mouse, Paper, Scissors adventure, the Dad album will be something Dad will adore! Constructed from manila folders, and covered in duct tape (yep. seriously),creating great masculine album that you'll love making.

What To Expect in Class

I'm Jessica, and I'm in charge of the digi stuff. We'll be exploring the possibilities of typography, creating photo collages, and making and using Photoshop brushes! Sound exciting? It is! Once our Photoshop Work is all done, I'll turn you over to Heidi for the paper-production part. We'll walk you through the entire 10-page album, from writing prompts, to page planning, to detailed Photoshop instructions and step-by-step assembly. You'll love it, and we can't wait for you to share what you make!

You'll receive:

• Templates for the album, including cover, quotes and photo templates
• Video instructions for creating your own Album, from Photoshop (Mouse) to printing (Paper) and assembly (Scissors)!
• A full digital kit
• Journaling prompts including both Jessica's take and Heidi's take!
