Melange Gypsie Journal – Creative Genius Workshop
Posted on 22. Jul, 2010.
If you’re in town early for Creative Escape, you will want to schedule this class at Scrapbooks, Etc. Carol Wingert, two time Creative Escape instructor, will be teaching a fabulous travel journal called the “Melange Gypsie Journal”…a collection or medley of stuff all artfully compiled into one funky made from scratch book.
It can be used as a travel journal…or just for your walk in life.
This isn’t a junque journal with stitched interior pages. Instead, it meaders, it flips, it shadowboxes…a brand new combo for Carol to teach.
The class is August 25th from 10:30 to 2:00. Seating is limited and you won’t want to miss out on this creative opportunity…after all, it’s your creative escape!
