Treasured Memories Canada | Bower Bird Mini Album Class with Pauline Pierantozzi

Couture Creations is very proud to be sponsoring Pauline's class

Date: January 5th

Time: 10am - 6pm

Cost: $100.00

 

Designed by Pauline Pierantozzi from Australia exclusively

for Treasured Memories

Edmonton Canada

This 9x9 inch mini album takes memory keeping to the

extreme. The book is an eclectic collection of found and

treasured items, with over 12 pages of flaps, pockets and

divided pages to house oodles of photographs.

 

Combining the mini album concept with altered art is what

makes this album unique. The album is attached to a backing

board which resembles as picket fence so that it can be hung

like a piece of art on a wall or stand on an easel. For those

of you who are not sure about an album on a wall, then the

backing board can be removed and the album used on a coffee

table or bookshelf.

 

Using a plethora of paper craft products from Australia and

the USA, Pauline has created a showstopper album which

focuses on techniques using embossing, stamping, die cutting,

distressing and more. The Couture Creations paper line that is used in the album

will not be released until CHA 2014 – customers of Treasured

Memories will be the first in the world to use these products.

 

This full day workshop promises to be action packed, fast

paced and a whole lot of fun with an Aussie girl who has over

12 years of teaching experience in Australian stores and paper

craft events. Pauline is known for her compassionate, giving

and patient teaching style.

 

Bookings are essential and kits are strictly limited.

 

Join me on Sunday January 5th

for a full day workshop and

create your own Bower Bird Mini Album.

I have been involved in the Australian paper

craft industry in the capacity of educator and

advocate for well over 12 years, resigning

from my teaching position to follow my

passion for all things paper. I live on a

Pineapple Plantation on the Sunshine Coast

in Queensland, Australia with my fabulous

husband Peter, and my two equally beautiful and talented

teenage daughters Jordan and Sidney. Family life and

everything it encompasses is important to me.

 

After being diagnosed with cancer late last year I was even

more passionate about being creative with my memories and

the near thought of not having those memories encapsulated

for my daughters frightened me and the importance of not only

memory keeping for myself but also educating others about its’

importance become my drive.

 

It is an absolute honour for me to travel to Canada and teach at

Treasured Memories – which I am hoping will be the beginning

of my international educator role. Being involved in the industry

for so long has afforded me many friendships with some of

the world’s most compassionate people and when Trisha

Ladouceur recommended me to her favourite scrapbooking

store I was humbled and honoured to be considered so highly.

I hope that you will join me on Sunday January 5th

Memories for a unique memory keeping project and altered art

project.
