Today, I wanted to let you know about three things:

  • The new Close To My Heart Holiday Expressions idea book is available
  • Where you can find Tracie Claiborne’s Journal Your Life class
  • Donna Downey’s Find Out Fridays

The new Close To My Heart Holiday Expressions idea book became available September 1st. It is full of all kinds of items to create scrapbook pages, pocket scrapbooking, cards, and various paper crafting projects, including some Cricut projects. These items are available through December 2016. Don’t delay and miss out! See the Holiday Expressions now.

I promised I would let you know where you could get Tracie Claiborne’s “Journal Your Life” online class, so a little update today to give you the link. No, I don’t make anything from your purchase. She just put together a phenomenally helpful class on journaling. So whether you have been averse to journaling, or you are sometimes stuck, you may want to check it out!

Something else you may be interested in is Donna Downey’s new free series, Find Out Fridays. Each week we will have the opportunity to watch an artist open up a pre-selected group of materials they have been sent, and show us what they decide to do with them! I am sure those of you who are interested in art/mixed media, you will really enjoy this series.  Here is the first segment, with Jane Davenport.

Here’s to YOUR Artful Adventures,

What’s the Story – Journaling Your Life

For those of you who enjoy keeping documenting your life and those around you with photos, don’t forget to write the stories, as well!  Previously, I’ve written about journaling in memory keeping in this post: The Palest Ink is Better Than the Best Memory

During a recent “family” reunion with my ScrapHappy group, we were fortunate to have Tracie Claiborne of the ScrapGals Podcast join us in person. Tracie allowed us to be the first participants of a new class she is putting the final touches on, regarding journaling and telling the stories of our lives.

She offered so many ideas to capture memories about not only special events, but to go beyond the surface of a photos and use them to tell so many other stories.

I’ll let you know when the class is available to everyone, you’ll want to be sure and take it; especially if you are someone who usually steers clear of adding anything but pictures to your memory keeping.

I hope you will also look into joining our ScrapHappy group, and perhaps coming to our next reunion!

Cheers to YOUR Artful Adventures!
