Twelve
January to March 2012
Stacy Julian |
author and blogger
There
are twelve inches in a foot, twelve people on a jury and twelve
colors on the color wheel. Twelve is the symbol of cosmic
order and the number of space and time. Twelve is also a brand
new 12-week 4Expert experience with me! In essence, twelve
is my personal scrapbooking pledge for 2012 and I want to
share it with you. Join me January through March for an exercise
in authentic storytelling, inspired scrapbooking and creative
flow. Together we'll make preparations for twelve pages a
month and compile a Photos I Love commemorative project.
Register for Twelve and look forward to twelve weeks
of instruction, twelve months of personal and artistic expression
and dare I say, dozens and dozens of delightful ideas.

The
Art of Observation
April to June 2012
Heidi Swapp |
author, product designer and blogger
How do
you describe your NOW? Where do you see beauty? List 10 things
that make you smile! How do you show love? What amazes you?
What do you look forward to? What is the favorite part of
your day?
For hundreds
of years, artisans, poets, playwrights and musicians have
translated their most personal observations into the main
subjects of their art. How are your 'observation' skills?
During our 12 weeks together, I'll lead you in making more
careful observations about life and using those fresh observations
as a springboard for fabulous scrapbook pages …while
learning some fun new techniques and cool artistic ways to
pretty much thrill you while you create! After 12 weeks and
12 scrapbook pages, you will go forward with a whole new outlook
on capturing what you want to remember.

Dimensional
Details - The Expanded Version
July to September 2012
Nic Howard |
author and blogger
How would
you like to spend some time with me in 2012, learning all
of my favorite techniques to create beautifully detailed layouts?
I am back with Dimensional Details - The Expanded Version.
This workshop
was a huge hit in 2010, and the basis is the same but I've
added new and updated content! I'll teach my own spin on techniques
such as building backgrounds, creating embellishments, and
working with photos, titles, frames, and borders. Week after
week you'll get step-by-step instructions, plenty of examples,
tips and techniques. From the layout base to the smallest
embellishment, if you love the detailed look of layered pages,
you won't want to miss this class!

Real Life

My motto—Cultivate
a good life and record it—is at the heart of everything
I do with my blog, my products and certainly in my real life.
I invite you to come along and spend some time with me during
the last quarter of 2012. As I go about preparing for the
holidays, creating fun things and organizing around my home,
I will share ideas to inspire you, tips to motivate you and
insight to enlighten you.
