Hi everyone. This is Karen Grunberg with Big Picture Scrapbooking. I am thrilled to tell you about my new workshop, Telling Stories Deeply.

I wanted to develop this workshop because I have so many friends who tell me that they want to journal more on their pages or that they want to tell their stories more deeply, but they just don't know how. They tell me that they don't have the skills to journal, and they just don't think that they can ever acquire them. I firmly believe that journaling, just like many other skills, is a learned experience. It's something that you can practice and you can learn. I want to make sure that this workshop is for those of you who want to capture those memories, who scrapbook for more than just art, but actually to tell your stories. I want to work with you to figure out ways that you can tell your own stories authentically. The way this class works is that we explore different aspects of powerful journaling each week. The weeks build on top of each other so that by the end of the four weeks you have a powerful tool set that you can work with week after week once you go back to your own layouts and our projects are finished. The best part of this class is that it you take skills that you walk away with, that you're not actually doing just these projects and then walking away and trying to remember what we did. These journaling lessons that we do are authentic to you, your way of telling a story, your style, your words and your feelings, and your authentic voice.

Ask yourself, are you ready to take your journaling to the next level? Do you want your pages to capture your personality to that your great grand kids can feel like they knew you? Come join me! Telling Stories Deeply is so very rewarding. It's the best present you can give yourself and your layouts. I can't wait to see you in my class, and remember, this is really big!
