How the Class Works
First we’ll start off with hand-tinting. Then, we’ll move onto numerous other projects, which do not have to be hand-tinted. You’ll learn how to place personal photographs onto many different surfaces.
Gift bags under the tree- no one throws this gift wrapping away!! What Students Like Best
Hand tinting is the big hit as every student, no matter what their talent, or lack of talent, gets an almost perfect picture first time through! They also love how easy the projects are - and the outpouring of emotion they get from friends and family who receive their gifts.

Common Questions
Q. How much do the supplies cost for the tinting projects?
A. Costs are unbelievably low, just pennies for many projects. For example, the supplies used for hand tinting are not the traditional ones used. I've adapted another product that allows you to tint a photo for about five cents!
Q. Do you need to do tinting for all the projects?
A. Definitely not, tinting is always an option.
Q. What happens to my originals?
A. You copy originals, never working on them!
Q. How much will the refinishing products cost for my projects at home?
A. Very, very little. I tell you where to purchase the best and most economical products for unbelievable finishes.
Q. What have been some of your personal favorite projects?
A. I think the heritage pillow is one of the most fun - and of course everyone goes crazy over the gift bags.
Susan's Favourites:
You’ll end up with gift ideas for every age group, for guys and girls to grandma and grandpa. I can’t pick a favourite, I love them all.
(A Note to Students who’ve taken Jazz up Your Junk when hand tinting was part of that class. Since we’ve move the hand tinting to this class, call me if you took hand tinting already so you can get a special price with this expanded class.)
