I've been hanging on to a *huge* secret!

(Drum roll please.)

But today I can finally share!

(Drum roll continues…anticipation grows.)

I am going to be teaching FREE live video classes for Prima every other week!

LiveWithPrimaScreenShot
You can see the post about it here.

And the new "Live With Prima" website is here.  At the "Live With Prima" website, you can:

  • read host bios (Marion Smith, Donna Downey, and me)
  • check out the schedule of classes
  • buy a kit so that you can follow along with the class exactly
  • chat with other Prima-holics

What will you be seeing in the videos?  Well let me break it down:

  • Every other Monday I will be live at ustream.com.  
  • We're still working out the times, but right now it looks like it will be 11am EST.  Hopefully this will allow international girls to catch the show live!
  • There will be a kit you can buy so that you can follow along exactly, or you can follow along using your own supplies.
  • If you can't make it to the live broadcast, you can watch the video later.
  • If you watch live, you can ask questions by typing them in and chat with other students in the class too!  And in case I miss your question, there will also be folks from Prima watching the live chat and answering questions!
  • Most of the live classes have giveaways!  So if you participate in the chat, you'll be eligible to win Prima product!
  • I'll be focusing (big surprise) on fun artsy techniques with lots of design tips thrown in!
  • Class times will vary, but they will likely be 1-2 hours long.

I will be teaching my first FREE online class on Monday, March 8 at 11am.  There is no kit for this first class.   I'm going to be sharing some techniques from this layout:

We're going to be making the banner at the top of the layout.  (And I'll share how to do those inky droplets.)

6a00d8341c766153ef01287784af6f970c-450wi
We're going to be playing with stamping, masking, and inking too!

6a00d8341c766153ef012877849bfa970c-450wi
And I'll be using Distress Stickles as we create our own little embellishments!

6a00d8341c766153ef01287784aeb3970c-450wi

As for future classes and kits, I'm totally open to suggestions, so feel free to suggest projects or
techniques!  But I can guarantee you that there will be lots of "artsy made easy!" 

I hope you'll join me!!
