Journaling 101

I'm incredibly pumped up and excited to announce that Erika Martin invited me to be part of her new online scrapbooking class, Journaling 101. 





I've said for ages that Erika has a talent for making incredibly moving scrapbook pages -- she chronicles her life, not just the events.  She is actually on a path to creating more of a legacy album than a simple scrapbook.  I've been wanting to bring more of her style and focus to my own albums.   

Please click on over and check it out -- I'll be scrapping along with the rest of you!!!  (My plan is to do a little introduction to "hybrid" scrapbooking, so that you can use your computer too!!!

Check out the summary I pulled from her class description:

clipped from stampinmama.typepad.com The Stampin' Mama Journaling 101 Online Scrapbook Course One of the things that I hear most often about my scrapbook layouts is that people connect with the journaling. They feel that, even if they don't know me, they can connect with me and feel like they know me simply by reading the journaling that I've included on my layouts. They feel like they understand the story I'm trying to tell by reading my journaling. The next thing that I hear most often is that journaling is really hard for most people to include on their layouts. There are many reasons that people don't include journaling on their layouts.   They feel like they don't have anything to say. They don't know where to start. They feel like they're not a writer. They hate their own handwriting. Do any of these sound familiar to you? Do you feel this way? The truth is, there's a writer in all of us. Our photos have stories to tell. Some people just need a little help to bring that writer out to tell the story.
