7 DAYS • 7 PRINCIPLES
Online Class, August 18-24 • $15**

Join me August 18-24 as I take you through the seven principles of design (contrast,
emphasis, balance, unity, pattern, movement, and rhythm) as they apply
to scrapbooking. These seven principles are the things you should
consider when creating a layout to ensure a great result! 

The seven principles of design are often confused with the seven elements
of design (color, value, texture, shape, form, space, and line). The
two are definitely linked, but the elements are more concerned with the
artist's hand, whereas the principles are about the design itself. If
you're interested in exploring the elements of design as well, I'll be offering
a week long class in September.

Each of the seven days, we will explore a new principle and I will offer you tips on how to incorporate it into your scrapbooking.  You will be able to leave your questions and comments in the classroom and get feedback on your own work!

If you'd like to register, you can do so here.
