Month: July 2011

I believe this is the fourth summer that I’ve been asked to participate with Big Picture’s annual summer FREE class that they offer. I’m excited – this is another super fun idea and I can’t wait to see it in action.

Big Idea Festival 2011
Words to Live By
http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/summerfun11.php

You are invited to a FREE festival packed full of big ideas at Big Picture Classes this August! Join us for 12 fun-filled days starting Monday August 15, featuring 12 of our talented instructors. Each instructor will be giving you a word of the day, which we hope will inspire you, along with a downloadable template (in both printable and digital format) so that you can create a mini layout about that day’s word and how you applied it in your life. Finally, each teacher will leave you with an inspirational video message and a preview of the page they created with their word.

The great part? You don’t HAVE to use the template or do things the way anyone else did. You can just have fun with it and play. Use your stash, just take a peek and be inspired – whatever! It’s free and it’s just for you. LOVE that BPC does this every year.

What’s even better? They’ve told me I can give away one of the exclusive kits here on my blog! The kit that they’ve done up is something just for fun – in no way is it required to join in the class fun. But look at those lovely goodies!!

I’ve gotten numerous emails asking me when I’d be back on the PRT podcast, telling me I just HAD to do it again. Thing is? Uh… you have to be INVITED to do the podcast! It’s not that I don’t want to go back – it’s just that I can’t just hop right on because I feel like it… I needed an invite!!

I did the math, and it’s been 52 episodes since I last appeared on Paperclipping Roundtable. I don’t *think* it’s personal (actually, I’m sure it’s not) – that’s just how it worked out between scheduling and topics of conversation. 

But good news! I was asked to come back on this week. Here’s a link to the show:

Feel free to comment and tell them to invite me back more. *wink*

We are talking trends & hot products coming from CHA… and next week I hope to start posting some picks, favorites, and more! Not to mention prizes & projects…

Have a great Friday.

Today I’m excited to announce my next Big Picture class. Registration opens in two weeks (July 28) and today I just want to take a minute to tell you a little bit about it and share the BIG secret we’ve been keeping.

Did I say WE?

Yes that’s right… I am not going it alone this time around. I’m co-teaching this class with one of my long time favorite scrapbookers. The one and only Nic Howard. We’re joining forces and I think you’re going to love the result of having not one, but TWO seasoned instructors on this class. It’s been a long time in the making – and I’ve loved every minute of preparing the materials with Nic.

What is the class?

Each week there will be four double-page layout sketches AND a new layout from both me and Nic for each sketch. That’s eight new layouts every week. AND? Videos, helpful tips and frequent questions answered, an active message board, a chat with each one of us…

oh yes, it’s DOUBLE the fun!!!

This class starts September 22 – and I hope you’ll be joining us!! I will post again about this in two weeks with a bit more info, plus a link to the registration page. We’ve been working hard and I’m excited to share this with you…

So, what do you think?!
