I'm very excited about this coming Saturday. It's the date of the first collaborative workshop offering with my dear friend Kerri Posson.The workshop is being held at Captured Moments.
Captured Moments is a local scrapbook store that we are very fortunate to have in our area. It's a family-run business that offers the most beautiful scrapbook papers, embellishments, scrapbooks, mixed-media products, and more.
The name of the workshop that Kerri and I are doing is called "Odds and Ends". The pictures, here, are samples of the background techniques that I will be teaching for a 5 x 7 canvas and two atc's. One of the atc's will be used to partner with a holiday card.
The backgrounds consist of a distressed/patchwork kind of technique, some foil treatments and mono-printing w/ acetate.
The workshop begins with these background techniques, and Kerri will then use her graphic design background to introduce collage design compositions to these backgrounds. We will be using odds and ends from salvage stores, flea markets and a lot of household materials to add to the collage pieces.
I hope to have a couple of Flip videos of the workshop to share with you in near future :)
Thank you all for your continued support with your friendships, words, and inspiration that you offer me on a daily basis.
Have a joyful day, a safe and happy upcoming weekend.
Happy Holidays! Love to all - Marilyn xxoo

You and Kerri Jean will have a wonderful day of teaching and collaborating with your students. Please show us pics of the finished "odds and ends". These samples look amazing.
I was drawn to your wonderful backgrounds. They are simply perfect. I was especially taken with the first one, since my latest favorite color combination happens to be bright red and turquoise.
Good luck on Saturday. I would have to say you have some very lucky students.
