Description: How about designing a lovely collaged open box or screen? This workshop combines elements of collage with three dimensional bookmaking. You can enhance the collage and turn it into a book form by adding writing.

We will start by sanding the edges of matboard that has been cut into house shapes. Choose lovely printed paper to cover four pieces and attach them together with linen tape. You may connect them together to create an open box or leave the two ends unattached to make a screen. Finally, glue images, writings and embellishments to finish your Cottage Collage.

 You may bring your scrapbooking material and written items as well as photos or choose from provided supplies.
