My NEW (monthly) Big Picture Class

People scrapbook for many different reasons and take a variety of approaches, all of which I support and celebrate, but regardless of the motivation or form that you're memory keeping takes, I believe that at least 20% of the time, we can and should be intentionally, planning and executing scrapbook pages and projects that expose or explore things in a (perhaps) truer, deeper, more connected way. At least, this is what I want for myself. 

In a selfishly-motivated move to create more of what satisfies me, I am teaching a new BPC class, with monthly installments. I adore the quick and easy side of this craft and I indulge in it regularly. How can I not? I have adorable, quirky kids an unfolding family narrative that I want desperately to preserve and a plentiful supply of inspiring products. I have enough already printed pictures that I could arrange photos and decorative deliciousness all day long for a year and not deplete my resources. Anyone? But here's the kicker: I have also learned that if I don't create a specific reason to, I won't make the effort to plan and build the story-rich pages that I now—after 20+ years in this industry—crave the most.  

The 20% Club.
With me.
If you're in, this means for every five pages you create, traditional or pocket or digital or whatever, you will create one that does a little more. And, I will totally help you!

Each month I'll share ...
1. My page or project
2. How the idea took shape
3. The steps I took to gather, prepare and design
4. My approach to documenting the story
5. What I learned and/or why it matters

One in FIVE. Care to join me?
