One of my favorite parts about scrapbooking is recording the little details...the story behind the photos. Not just the date & place (although sometimes that's really all a photo needs), but the story...the reasons...the why that photo was taken.
If you could use a little inspiration in the journaling department, have I got a class for you...
Yep. Grammar-FREE Journaling.
No long stories...just journaling in new and unique ways. Get those stories down without spending hours searching for the right words!
The amazing and incredibly talented Angie Lucas will be teaching this class for the second time starting July 24...
Here's a little more info...straight from the BPC website...
Grammar-Free JournalingTell fun new stories with 12 unique journaling strategies—no paragraphs required!
What if I like to write 15 paragraphs for every layout? Lengthy, soul-searching journaling is wonderful for certain stories. But there are many other stories that are better told using a list, a quiz, a chart, a single sentence, or even a little strategy I like to call "painless poetry." You'll like it!
What if I'm not a very good writer? A: You're better than you think you are. B: You don't have to be a great writer for this class; that's the beauty of going grammar free! C: You should always have at least three items in a list. (There's a little taste of the invaluable writing tips in store for you in this workshop!)
Will I walk away from this workshop with at least 12 completed layouts and dozens more stories that I can't wait to sit down and scrapbook? Yes.
Will there be pop quizzes? There will be quizzes. But students are expected to provide their own soft drinks.

You may have noticed someone familiar up there in the "contributors" section???
YEP! It's me!
This is, without question, one of the coolest classes I've ever seen...and the projects I created for it are some of my favorite ever. Really...the ideas Angie presents in the class are so fun...so inspiring...so doable. They will stretch you creatively, but without any real thinking...in other words, you'll be learning while you're having tons of fun.
