I'm a Certified SDU Instructor!!!

(Originally posted in April, 2009)

It’s official... I am certified to be an instructor for E.K. Success Brand’s “Scrapbook Design and You®” Course. SDU is the industry leader in innovative education. The curriculum taught incorporates theory, technique and technology with a goal of cultivating life-long paper crafting hobbyists and family historians.

Scrapbook Design & You® teaches beginner through advanced scrapbookers the essential scrapbook theories and principles of design. SDU will dramatically enhance the skills of any scrapbooker to create dynamic scrapbook pages.

The core SDU Curriculum provides each student with:

• A 4-part education series for every skill level.

• A chance to get acquainted with the tools of the trade.

• The opportunity to learn successful color selection & layout design theory.

• An appreciation for the importance of journaling, hand lettering and titles in design.

• New techniques for matting photos, getting stickers out of the collections, and giving new life to punches.

• A certificate of completion upon finishing the entire course.

I will be teaching SDU at 2 AC Moore locations: Pine Island Road in Cape Coral and Ben C. Pratt Parkway/6 Mile Cypress Parkway in Fort Myers. The June classes will be held on Saturdays from 1 - 3pm in the Cape Coral store and Thursdays from 5 - 7pm in Fort Myers. The cost for the 4-week course at either location is just $45 which includes the course manual (a $10 value). Pre-registration is required and must be paid at the time of registration, at least 3 days PRIOR to the class start date. I am also teaching SDU at Scrapbooking Goodies (1110 Del Prado Blvd., South, Cape Coral at various times throughout the month... check out their schedule to see when the next class begins at scrapbookinggoodies.com

In addition to the SDU curriculum, each week I will also demonstrate or show examples of other techniques and share tips that apply to the course material being taught that week. Expect to test out various tools before you buy them (Curvy Cutter, Powder Tool, Cutterpede, Herma Vario, Zig Memory System pens and markers, Centering Ruler, 3D-Dots foam adhesive, Chalklets, Paper Shaper, Edger and CornerAdorner Punches, eyelet setters, embossing styluses and more)

I look forward to sharing my passion of paper crafting with you!

Have a creative day,

Barb!
