'Tis the Season to be JOLLY...and gosh oh golly, we need your help! Melissa Frances is trying to plan classes and workshops for the new year, and we want your input!!! Please leave us a comment (or even two) if you have ideas for class projects, techniques you would like to learn or you can even tell us what you look for when signing up for a class! We'll randomly draw a name or maybe even two on January 3rd and send a beatiful array of Melissa Frances Christmas goodies your way! We'll keep this post at the top to remind you to leave a comment, but please scroll down the page, because as promised, we are still posting YUMMY holiday projects every day!
I look for classes that have techniques that I'm interested in learning more about and that are reasonably priced.

I usually look for classes that help me use products in a different way. Love the inspiration and vintage feel to your projects.

I'd love to see calendar projects, school mini album (like memories and photos to put in for each grade...), one about a special relationship (parent/child, wife/husband...).
I love Melissa's style and products!!!

I would love to see a vintage/distressing class!

I'd love to see more home decor vintage style projects and a few mini album projects as well. I think Melissa's products lend themselves quite nicely to either.

I would like to see a class or workshop to show how to achieve a truly vintage look. I love Melissa Phillips' style. When I try to make something, it tends to look too "new."

I am all about learning techniques. I would love a practical class that allowed us to use each of your products in a few ways on one page. For example, one page or tag with a few ways to use mica (color it, adhere it, etc), one page or tag with a few ways to use the resin pieces, etc. This way I could play with all of your brilliant embellies, feel safe experimenting with them and end up with a book full of techniques.

Having just discovered Melissa Frances fabulousness any kind of workshop would be welcome. I took a mini make and take at Ink About It and I am totally hooked. Love the pastel nostalgia.

I like layered pages and I'm always interested in seeing the process of putting each piece down.

I would love to see a class on using the same products to achieve different looks. I need to learn to stretch my stash!

What about intreractive mini album and use MF products to conduct the class/workshop?! I love dimensional albums & all thing shabby + vintage look. So far MF products could deliver such feel & look constantly :)

I would love to see a class for a Christmas villages, made out of MF papers.

I just love your soft vintage look which ive never been able to achieve! So any classes which would help achieve that style ie cards, mini albums, altered frames would be fabulous :O)

I would love a class on anything made by Linda Albrecht, especially her home decor items!
Posted by: Jessica Canham | December 14, 2010 at 09:47 PM
I look for classes making cards and highlighting new products. I would love to learn the vintage style of your design team, the way they put elements together (different papers, embellishments). Thanks for the chance to win, and if you ever come to Utah, I'd be first to sign up for a workshop!

I'd love to see classes in Toronto Ontario! Maybe a collagey mini album just for boys. It harder to do shabby for boys and I could use some help! of course, I use MF products for girlie projects too but that's easy!!

Come on down to San Antonio and teach pretty much any of the prjects like I see on this blog and I'll be there! I love the shabby vintagy look and find it sometimes hard to get the "look" like your DT members do! Bravo to all of them....and an open invitation to Sunny San Antonio!!!

I would love to see Mellisa Phillips give us a tutorial on the beautiful sugary houses that she creates!!! With the current economy, I would also love to see ideas on handmade embellishments!

What a great candy! I would love to follow a workshop to create a book with envelopes and tags in a Melissa Frences-style.
Posted by: Nora | December 15, 2010 at 01:45 AM
I'd love to take a mini album class or anything that uses dimension, like rolled flowers, things with glitter or mica flakes, doilies and lace. Love everything Melissa Frances!

I would love to learn more about a frame filled with all kinds of lovely details such as tags, pictures,glitter, die cuts, flowers,sentiments and so on....And after finishing it I can hang it in my living room :)! Melissa's creations are always perfect and I love her color combinations.
And thank you for this lovely give away...
