Beyond
Chronology:
Make
the Connection
If
you're a true-blue chronological scrapbooker, it can be
downright scary to think about leaving the calendar behind
and jumping into the world of scrapbooking "moments."
What if you don't like it? What if it doesn't work for
you? What if you want to go back to your "old"
process - will it be "too late?" Here's the
scoop: You don't have to abandon your current process
to experience the benefits of non-chronological scrapbooking.
Documenting your life beyond the events is a fun, simple,
valuable way to add to your current scrapbooking approach
- not replace it. In Beyond Chronology:Make the Connection
you'll create a special scrapbook album to celebrate the
moments, relationships, and even things in your life that
transcend a single point in time. This project will not
replace, but add to an "annual" album.
Professional
writer, instructor and scrapbooker Lain Ehmann brings
you this class as a partnership between Simple Scrapbooks
and Big Picture Classes. The author of over 2000 articles,
and the gal behind the popular ScrapHappy
scrapbooking humor blog, Lain knows how difficult it can
be to get out of the calendar rut. She's been scrapbooking
for almost a decade and has a shelf full of annual albums
to prove it! But now that she's begun focusing on the
important elements of her family's life, she worries less
about the date stamp on the pictures and concentrates
more on their personal significance.
After
taking Beyond Chronology, you'll know first-hand
how powerful it is to think outside the calendar grid.
You'll have a few layouts of your own that highlight the
connections between the people, places, and things in
your life, and you'll have a special album in which to
store them. You'll also have the freedom to scrap the
way YOU want to - not the way your Day Planner says you
should. Now this is big!

Important
information about Self-Paced Projects at Big Picture Classes!
Self-Paced Projects are instant download classes that
allow you to participate at BPC anytime! These classes
are different from our interactive workshops. There are
no starting or ending dates -- you may enroll at any time.
This flexibility also means, that there will not be the
level of teacher and student interaction that we enjoy
in our workshops. You will receive handouts to print and
an audio file to listen to, but there are typically no
message boards or chats.
