Wednesday Wonder – Insta-Living Summer Edition

InstalivingIf you are like so many others, you may find yourself taking the same kinds of photos over and over. I bet you’d like to change that up — if it was easy! Well it is!

I’d like to introduce my friend, Danielle Taylor, who is affectionately known by many as “Scrapper On the Street,” from her video series she has done during several Layout-A-Day challenges. She is an avid photographer and scrapbooker, and ended up naming her website, ScrapperOnTheStreet.com. Dani enjoys documenting everyday life and all it entails! She put together a fun, easy class called “Insta-Living Summer Edition.” It’s second run will be August 7-16, 2013.

I participated in the first run of the summer edition, and really enjoyed it. Dani offers inspirational ideas on documenting your life by the photos you take. She offers thought provoking videos on things we often overlook each day.

This class also offers some great information on apps that you can either use on your phone, or your computer to add some pizazz to your photos! Dani takes amazing photos from her phone to use in her scrapbooks, and part of that is due to some great apps she has found and will share information about!

Don’t let summer get completely away without this information!  The class is not a huge time commitment, and the price is just $15.  You’ll also have access to a private Flickr group where you can view photos others in the class are taking!

Do it NOW, before you forget!

Five Golden Letterings Class, with Joanne Sharpe

Five Golden Letterings Free Class by Joanne SharpeJoanne Sharpe is such a gifted artist and teacher and I would be remiss if I did not share her wonderful free class she is doing now!  It is called Five Golden Letterings and is yours to enjoy at no cost!

She is already on day 3 of the class, so if you watch the videos, you’ll have an idea of what you may have on hand that you can already use.  You could also use the techniques you’ll see and use whatever colors you want!  Shhh… I won’t tell you didn’t use gold!

So far she has shown some great ways to spiff up some wrapping paper, gift bags, and cards!  It’s amazing how a handful of supplies can be used to de-stress and make something artful and useful all at the same time!  You are sure to pick up a some ideas to artfully add some special touches to your holidays!

Stop by and check out her Five Golden Letterings class!  Then come back and share with us what you’ve made!

 

Bless this Mess with Junelle Jacobsen

One of my favorite people to watch make art is at it again!  Junelle Jacobson will be the featured instructor at Christy Tomlinson’s mixed media class, “Bless This Mess” which starts Tuesday, October 23rd.  This is a sequel to the first class Junelle did earlier this year.  She is a great teacher and a lot of fun to watch.

I first “met” Junelle at a Layout a Day (LOAD) challenge, and loved her scrapbook pages.  We then were in one of Christy Tomlinson’s first online classes, and we all began to see and love Junelle’s unique and creative touch on all the pieces we were doing.

One of things that is most fun with some of these classes, are the FaceBook groups that go with them!  How fun to see what other classmates are doing and meet people with similar interests from around the world.  I hope you’ll think about joining us!
