I currently have two classes at Craftsy: PATTERNED PAPER PLAY and SILHOUETTE SAVVY.
PATTERNED PAPER PLAY includes 7 HD video lessons (with 20+ minutes of content in each lesson!) with anytime, anywhere access. Here's the official class description: Learn stash-busting secrets for playful patterned pages that amaze, all with guidance from designer and renowned instructor Paige Evans. Discover techniques for artfully tearing and layering paper strips for richly textured pages, create custom, intricate cutouts using your electronic cutting machine and learn both hand- and machine-stitching methods for one-of-a-kind results. Then, explore beautiful backgrounds as you master a variety of cutting techniques, layer your paper for a stylish ombré effect, and even roll out paper strips to mat or frame favorite photos. Plus, use watercolors to create the paper you've always dreamed of and play with tone-on-tone backgrounds using spray mist and a doily for imaginative, eye-catching results! Check out PATTERNED PAPER PLAY today!
In SILHOUETTE SAVVY I ask - is your Silhouette still sitting in the box? Or are you looking for some new techniques and ways to use your beloved Cameo? From beginning functions to sophisticated techniques, I'll be there every step of the way showing you exactly how to create amazing layouts in 7 HD lessons, over 20 minutes each! Seven (7!) cut files I designed so you can create these layouts are included! Join me in SILHOUETTE SAVVY and learn virtually everything there is to know about your Silhouette!
ONE lucky winner will get a FREE spot in BOTH of my classes (PATTERNED PAPER PLAY and SILHOUETTE SAVVY)!!! Just leave a comment on this post and tell me your all-time favorite scrapbook collection, because I'm curious :) I'll randomly pick and announce the winner on Friday July 17th 2015!

Hmmmmmm ... my all time FAVE scrapbook collection -- I would have to say that would be Bo Bunny's "Mama-razzi" collection!! I loved the colors, the vintage cameras, the paper designs!!
ReplyDeleteJust one collection! Uhm.....my minds eye lost&found. Not just the colours and the design, but how that paper feels (a bit heavy)! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI don't scrapbook (I make cards though) but I would love to learn! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI love Citrus Bliss from Pink Paisley))
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win, I don't know that I could pick just one collection, but I do love Simple Stories Summer Vibes line. Such great colors!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a blast to win a spot in your classes! My favorite collection is Crate Paper Open Book from Maggie Holmes. Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige - I have to be one of your biggest fans! Thank you for all of the inspiration you have given me. My favorite collection to date is MME Lost and Found! I am hoarding what is left in my stash. Thank you so very much for a chance to take both classes!
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite scrapbook collection?? Oooh, that's not an easy choice! Since I love autumn oh-so-much, I'm going to choose the Apple Cider collection by Bo Bunny from a few years back. I have a lot of it, and I'm still hoping to get my wedding scrapbooked with those beautiful papers and embellishments. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fav collections is Pink Paislee's City Side Walks.
ReplyDeletePaige- I am in your Silhouette class and have loved the ideas you've shared. I would love the chance to win a spot in your Patterned Paper class! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI scrap digitally (but am moving towards doing paper again-- there is so much I miss about the tactile-ness of physical supplies), but my favorite all time scrapbook collection would have to be the Basic Grey Blitzen collection, tied with October Afternoon's Public Library.
My all time favorite collection would have to be Lily Bee Destination.
ReplyDelete(Pick me--fingers crossed--pick me)
WOW, both classes. I would love to win it. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeletepick one collection??? there is this old cosmo cricket collection I am hording the last of my scraps - Mr. Happy (or something like that). I totally wish I could have more of it.
ReplyDeleteFavorite collection is whatever is the newest on my desk.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite paper keeps changing! Such Beautiful new ones keep coming out. Its usually the one I DONT have yet.LOL
ReplyDeleteI would love to win both classes. I hope I am not posting twice. I had trouble remembering my Google password, and then my comment was gone once I got back here. One of my favorite papers was Mama Razi by I believe Bo Bunny. I also have loved papers from Prima, G45, Pink Paislee, October Afternoon, and the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteI love classes! I have learned so much but this one is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteBoth classes look fantastic but your paper designs are out of this world!
ReplyDeleteI loved October Afternoon so maybe one of their collections.. The rocket one, Out of this world?
Wow! Two classes! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! These classes look awesome!! I would LOVE to take that Silhouette class!!
ReplyDeleteYour classes look amazing! Picking a favorite collection is so hard! I think maybe Crate DIY Shop?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome!!! I love the American Crafts dear Lizzie lines as well as MME Sweetest Things Collections!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! I love Shimelle's True Stories Collection!
ReplyDeleteBoth your classes sound really wonderful! I love Basic Grey's Kioshi collection best of all, but there are definitely tons of great ones out there!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks so much for the chance to win spot. My favourite collection changed depending on what's on my desk, but I do love Citrus Bliss at the moment ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks fascinating. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in your class. My favorite collection depends on what is on my work table at the time.
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous. My all-time favorite collection would be Dear Lizzy POLKA DOT PARTY....I love that one....I never got any of the embellies or the 6x6 pad but I love the papers from the large 12x12 pad.
ReplyDeleteI never remember the names of paper collections. I love anything with lots of aqua, purple or blue. I gravitate toward bright colors and fun themes like summer scenes, sunflowers, geometrics and birds. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was a collection from stamping up! that had vintage sewing items, but don't remember the name. Would love your silhouette class....I have one, but want to learn more!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great option.
ReplyDeleteThe answer for the best PP collection is difficult...there are so many...maybe Notes & Things from Crate Paper
My fave collection
ReplyDeletewas My Little Yellow Bicycle

Carla from Utah
Hi Paige - thanks so much for the chance to win a spot in your class. I've recently completed Danielle and Nichol's classes and loved them, so would be fantastic to learn more from you too. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough question with all great new releases coming up:) but Teresa Collins vintage finds are an all time favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win a place. I can't pick a favourite between collections from Shimelle, Amy Tan or Maggie Holmes!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Hoe could anyone pick a favorite? My Minds Eye Lost and Found, Basic Gray anything Christmasy, the list could go on. But, in truth, it's the newest lines out there. I always "need" the new stuff. I'm a real paper boarder, I need help!
ReplyDeleteHave you been peeking in my window, lol, how did you know my Silhouette was still sitting in the box! I really need this class and I would love to win it, love your samples!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love this explosion of colours! fascinating projects! Love your style! Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite collection is Simple stories Enchanted. Thank you for this chance to win
ReplyDeleteI love all the Crate Paper and Simple Stories collections but I guess my very favorite is Craft Market. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteYour classes look amazing and I am a huge fan of your style! My all-time favorite collection would have to be Amy Tan Plus One. Love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteI think my all time favorite paper collection was Amy Tan's first one - was it called Sketchbook? I LOVED the water color washed effects, the whimsy in the pattern drawings and those delightfully cheery yet soft colors. It was so different from other collections I had seen at that point! :)
ReplyDeleteI generally don't get stacks of 12x12, I love a good scrapbook store with aisles of single sheets so I can pick and choose the ones that catch my eye...I do get stacks of 6x6 for card making and my favorite currently is Pink Paisley solstice. Your layouts are amazing, colorful, full of movement and fabulous. WOW.
ReplyDeleteI'm in your silhouette class love that :) The pattern paper class looks like a total blast! Thanks for a chance to win a seat :)
ReplyDeletethanks for a chance to win
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! My favorite is "Sketchbook" by Amy Tangerine for American Crafts .
ReplyDeleteI'd love to take your first class. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love paper period but if I had to name my favorite it'd be Graphic 45. I would so love to win the chance to see you work your magic with paper, the class looks awesome. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteso many favorites! most recently it is Maggie Holmes Open Book.
ReplyDeleteSo your classes look awesome. I sure do need some adult supervision with the Silhouette! I have to admit, I am a doodlebug kinda gal, so all their papers coordinate and I love them all. Thanks for the chance to win ...
ReplyDeleteI love your classes @ BPC, the collection I love right now is Echo Park Paper Everyday Eclectic Collection. But also I am trying to use my old stash, (I mean.....very old stash.) but dying it or applying gesso, etc
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win !
Ack. Awesome chance. I'm a fan of all things Maggie Holmes, especially that Open Book collection - she killed it.
ReplyDeleteI so need to learn how to use my Silhouette machine...thanks for the chance to win...and 2 classes...yippee!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a cardmaker, not a scrapbooker, but I guess learning more tricks about getting the most out of your patterned papers is always a good thing. As for my older model Silhouette, it's been put back into the box quite a while ago and could surely do with some more love and attention, Thanks for the chance to win not ine, but two classes. Wow!
ReplyDeletePick a favourite?? YIKES!! That would the collection that is on my desk which forever changes but right now it's 365 by Chickaniddy.
ReplyDeleteall time would have to be Pink Paislee's London Market. Still reach for it all the time and bought multiples of it so I could enjoy for a long time. addicted much? lol. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteDifficult to choose one, but MME lost and found is definitely one of the favs! I would love to be in your class, wow!
ReplyDeletePretty much love anything Crate Paper puts out. Love your work & hope I win!
ReplyDeleteOh Paige, that is a tough question....I loved the Fancy Pants Me-ology collection for its colors, graphics, vintage yet contemporary feel. But I also love the J'adore line by Basic Grey especially after seeing what you created with it. I'm pretty obsessed with Basic Grey.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite collection is Crate paper Craft Market.
ReplyDeleteHello Paige, I'm Australian so I have to say Kaisercraft paper. The Secret Admirer collection is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! I really get inspired by your posts on Instagram but it would be so awesome to join your classes and learn from you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite collection would have to be Open Book.
OOh, I would love to win a spot in either of these!! I love, love patterned paper and I have a Silhouette that needs to be used more! To pick ONE favorite paper line??!! I think it has to be right now, Adventure by MME, loving the colors and feel of it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!

ReplyDeletehmmm, one of my favorites was echo park capture life and well all of amy tan's lines.

ReplyDeletehmmm, one of my favorites was echo park capture life and well all of amy tan's lines.
They both sound like really great classes. I would love to take them both!
ReplyDeleteJust finishing my crafting room.. Have a great layout for all my paper crafts. Put your class on my wishlist. Have mainly been making cards and bookmarks but I needed the workspace expansion so I could start scrapbooking. I'm almost ready to jump in with both feet.
ReplyDeleteWow - your class looks great! I haven't done much scrapbooking but I have done lots of sewing, weaving and painting. Your class looks like the perfect into to scrapbooking for me! Thanks for giving us a chance to win a spot in your class. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Paige. I love your blog. Thanks for the hopping fun!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a seat in both your classes. My favorite collection i just finished was Crate paper Journeys and I'm waiting for Simple Stories Summer Vibes to arrive so i can scrap my summer pics.
ReplyDeleteThis blog hop is a cool idea. Thank you for the chance to win your class.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to learn a craft that's totally new to me. ^__^
Oh I don't have a favorite yet, I'm just wanting to get going on paper crafting. Your classes sound awesome, especially the Silhouette Savvy class.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm a paper addict, it would be hard to pick a favorite! Let's just say it would probably include the color teal, and have a variety of print sizes, textures, and hues, along with complementary colors that pop! Would love a spot in one or both of your classes! I have a Cameo that I could use a LOT more than I do.
ReplyDeleteYour classes sound great...would love to win! My favorite collection is anything Basic Grey!!
ReplyDeleteI would love the patterned paper play as it looks unbelievable
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what you do with paper
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of G45's Secret Garden collection and have bought multiples of it numerous times! It is so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI have a Silhouette that IS still sitting in the box 3 years after purchasing it! To be honest it scares the bajeebers out of me!! I keep saying I am going ot take the bull by the horn and just do it but fear takes over every time!! Would love to win this class and finally get my Silhouette out of the box and start using it!! Thanks for the chance to conquer my fear!!!
I was thrilled when I saw your class, I am really excited for the opportunity to win, thanks.I want to learn your sewing and rolling techniques. You really create amazing things with paper.
ReplyDeleteI like G45's Raining Cats and Dogs. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow 2 classes! I am just getting started with scrapbooking so I don't have a favorite yet. Thank you for the opportunity to win a spot in your classes!
ReplyDeleteMy FAVORITE Collection would be a toss up between Crate Paper/Maggie Holmes Open Book Collection and MME Lost and Found Collection!! SQUEAL!! SO EXCITED for the chance to win a Spot in Class!! I have looked at these Classes for a LONG Time and would LOVE to WIN!! THANKS for sharing and for the chance to win!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
ReplyDeleteI've never scrapbooked, but I would love to learn how! I love playing with paper, I've just never been sure how to start a scrapbook. Thank you for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to deep colors with a Asian or nature themes. Either than or I create my own backgrounds with watercolors, inks etc.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it counts as a collection,but I love reading creative keepsakes and Northridge publishing for ideas. I am interested in the silhouette class as when I took ill my parents donated all my scrapbooking supplies, my two cricuts, my gypsy, everything to a local H.S. after school scrapping club. I wish I had the cricut but the new mchine looks really cool and useable with cards as well.
ReplyDeleteI love girly collections and my current favorite collection is Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party. Love, love, love the patterned papers, die cuts, and cute little bows. I tend to hoard my paper and need to be better about using and combining patterns.
