Grammar Free Journaling (and a Giveaway!!)

After my little stint at Big Picture Classes for the National Scrapbooking Day 2K event I thanked them very much for having me and tried to recover from my delirium of having worked alongside such remarkable ladies. So you can imagine my surprise and delight to later on be contacted by Angie Lucas asking if I would like to contribute to an upcoming class. Especially when I read that the class was going to have a focus on journaling techniques! I couldn't think of a subject that I feel more passionate about!

It's called "Grammar-Free Journaling" and will teach some unconventional (yet entirely useful) writing strategies to have you telling awesome stories in completely new ways. I tell you, I've taken journaling classes before but I've never come across these techniques before. I was so inspired reading through the curriculum! And when it came time for me to decide which classes I wanted to contribute to, I had such a hard choice! I managed eventually of course, can I share some sneaks of the projects I've made?

Now I'm not alone of course, there are some other who's-who of scrapbooking names that are contributing to the class too. Dare I name-drop? I must! There's Maggie Massey, Jennifer Gallacher and Donna Jannuzzi and all of us are coming under the leadership of Angie Lucas who's actually teaching the class!

Classes run from July 24th to August 20th and will include access to plenty of videos, PDF's, example projects, downloadable journaling prompts, quizzes, forums.... the works basically! You can check out all the details, and sign up for the class HERE.

In celebration of my upcoming "Grammar Free Journaling" Class I've got a couple of seats to giveaway in some of the other exciting classes happening at BPC this month!!

First up, I've got a seat in Amy Tan and Kelly Purkey's "Here & There Inspiration" class! This is huge! It goes for a massive 12 weeks and will teach you to stop, look around, and capture life colourfully and beautifully on a dozen fun projects, including your own inspiration journal. Check out all the details for this amazing class HERE.

And secondly, I've got a seat in "The Phone Photography Project 2" to giveaway as well. This class has an awesome line-up of teachers which include the likes of Ali Edwards, Elise Blaha Cripe, Maggie Holmes, Stacey Julian and sooooo many more! It will teach you that your phone camera is capable of much more than you realise, and show you how to produce frame-worth snapshots with nothing more than your smartphone and the right combination of apps. Check out all the details for this class HERE.

So what do you have to do to win?
