Tiffany Tillman’s Scraphic Design Core is Back!
What happens when you marry graphic design principles with scrapbooking? You create the Scraphic Design process, a set of steps beginning with blank canvas and finishing with a kick-butt, completed page using your polished design sense. Once you know the whys and hows of this process, you can adapt it to fit your crafting style.
Rejoin Tiffany Tillman for Core, the second part of the Scraphic Design series. For an additional four weeks, add the complexities of layering, color usage, pattern alchemy, element addition, text work and realistic shadowing to the journey. Class concludes with a final critique of your finished class assignments.

Tales of a Scrabooking Groupie: The Big Bam
