Start Here mini workshop with Lisa Truesdell
Cost: $12

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." - Pablo Picasso 

Get a jump on inspiration with Start Here. In this workshop, Lisa Truesdell will give you the tools to turn almost any image into a jumping off point for your next layout. You'll learn to break down images into smaller elements and use them to inspire your page's color combo, design, or even new techniques. We'll talk about finding images you love and identifying what grabbed you about them, and how to put that inspiration to work! Lisa is joined by twelve talented contributors who will each be sharing a page based on one of Lisa's inspiration pieces, as well as their thoughts on finding starting points in unexpected places. 

Included in the workshop are 27 brand-new scrapbook pages (15 from Lisa and 12 from her contributors) showcasing a variety of interpretations of inspiration pieces, 3 printable PDFs and 3 brand new videos following Lisa as she makes a layout starting with an inspiration piece.

Lisa's talented contributors include Allison Waken, Ashley Calder, Becky Novacek, Doris Sander, Erica Hernandez, Emily Spahn (that's me!), Kelly Noel, Kristina Nicolai-White, Laura Kurz, Lexi Bridges, Lisa Dickinson, and Marcy Penner

Here is a sneak peak of the layout I created:

The content of this workshop will be available immediately upon purchase. The lessons are available for you to work at your own pace and upon purchase can be accessed in the "Workshops" section under "Classes & Events." A private message board forum is also available to ask questions for Lisa and to connect with other participants. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday write.click.scrapbook!

Hi!  Welcome to the write.click.scrapbook Birthday Blog Hop! Can you believe WCS is three years old today?!  I have a bunch of fun things to share with you today, but first...my letter! Be sure to collect all the letters throughout the hop for a chance to win tons of giveaways and an awesome  grand prize box of product from write.click.scrapbook!

Next, I'd like to share some of the things I love about write.click.scrapbook. I'm a fairly new team member. I began in February of this year, but I have been a WCS follower since day one!  I have to admit, I was incredibly honored and humbled when our fearless leader, Marnie, approached me about joining the team.  I jumped at the chance, of course! Not only are the women who make up our collective extremely talented, they are also genuinely kind and caring people. I was amazed at how comfortable and at home I felt from day one. I love stopping by the blog every morning to get my daily dose of insightful blogging, inspiring photography, and lovely layouts from my teammates.

Speaking of layouts, I  have a layout sneak to share. For this month's gallery, we paired up with another member of the WCS team. I was lucky to be paired with the fabulous Katrina Simeck, who I happen to be friends with "in real life."  Here is the layout of hers that inspired me:

...and here is sneak of my layout in this month's gallery:

And finally...what I know you've secretly all been waiting for...a giveaway!  I have been a subscriber at Studio Calico for...well, forever. This means I have accumulated quite a stash of "exclusive" stamps.  And would you like to know how many I have used? Like four. Seriously! It's a problem!  Anyway, I have a bunch of older never-been-used stamps that I would like to give away today...we shall call them "vintage." ;)  For the chance to win, please leave a comment on this post, and I will choose a winner on Sunday evening.

(The stamp on the top right is a bit hard to see...it is the "Dialed" stamp from the Newsstand kit)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  The next stop on the hop is the one, the only...Erin Sweeney!  Be sure to stop back at write.click.scrapbook (which has a fantastic new look!) for a chance to win the big prize!  Have a great Friday!
