Crafty Scrapbooker e-book Bundle

if you've been around for a while you probably remember all the online classes--the Beautifully Handmade series--i taught over the last two years at Get It Scrapped!

these courses were comprised of individual lessons taught a few times a week over the course of 3-5 weeks with online support. they were also converted to self-paced lessons into a single downloadable PDF. if you haven't heard, there are lots of changes happening at Get It Scrapped!, but through the end of the year my self-paced classes are currently still available individually at a slightly discounted rate. i haven't yet decided how i will be offering these course after that.

but.......i'm more than thrilled to announce that these same classes have been combined into e-books and bundled along with some other courses taught by some top-notch designer/teachers including: Debbie Hodge, Sharyn Tormanen, Doris Sander and myself!

there are 11 books in total in this Crafty Scrapbooker e-Book Bundle. :)

if you were to buy each course individually, you'd be spending $264! but now through December 31 ONLY, you're able to get the bundle of 11 for $118! WOWZA!

if you've ever been on the fence about purchasing an online class through Get it Scrapped! this is the offer for you! debbie has a great short video to watch explaining how you can use these bundles with your e-readers and even sync your library with any mobile device using a free program.

so don't delay because the offer expires December 31st.

**********************
if you're visiting for the first time, here's some words about In Loving Memory: A Journey of Remembrance....


i'm preparing my heart and mind to walk beside lots of hurting friends to help them get their memories preserved as opening day is just 2 days away for another round of a class i developed called: In Loving Memory.


We all know that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most trying and emotional experiences in your lifetime as you ride the waves of grief that follow that loss.

This is something I personally discovered after losing my mom, very suddenly and quite unexpectedly, in the summer of 2007.

After such a loss, when the grief washes away and the sunshine begins to peek into your life again, you find yourself left with a pile of memories that seem fleeting. Yes?

These seemingly fleeting memories leave you with a desperate urge to document every little detail of your loved one and the life they lived, but the thought of tackling such a task seems daunting. I've found that the sense of urgency is caused by the overwhelming fear that you'll forget before you have adequate time or energy to recount the life of the loved one you now miss so dearly.


In my online course, In Loving Memory, I will provide you with an abundance of starting points and journaling triggers, as well as layout samples and sketches to get you moving forward on making your own album of remembrance--all the while encouraging you to be gentle to yourself along the way.

This is definitely not a race to a finished album, but a process of documenting and healing all in one. It's scrapbooking as therapy, not just art.

If you'd like to record and honor the life of your loved one(s), and it has seemed too painful, too messy to begin, or just unapproachable, please consider joining me on a journey of remembrance this spring.

Class starts March 14th.

recording the hard stuff....

so, this post is all about that announcement i mentioned the other day.

are you ready for this?

what's red and pink and glittery all over?

why, it's a Valentine's card, silly.

i know, i know, you were thinking i'd have some Twig layouts to share this morning----and i do---it's just they aren't photographed yet. so we'll push those to tomorrow.


this card here is my latest creation using the fabulous SRM Valentine stickers, paired with some Little Yellow Bicycle Cupcake Love. gosh, i can't get enough of that collection. i have some more Valentines with it to share the first part of next week---with a new video tutorial. yipppee!

as usual, i decorated the inside too. there's something funny to me about making a handmade card and stopping at the front. it just feels so unfinished. don'tcha think?

as you've heard me say before.....i just use bits and pieces of the same from the front and pull them to the inside. the SRM Valentine's stickers makes card making SO simple! since they are clear stickers they just melt right into the cardstock making it look more like a rub-on than a sticker. *swooooon*


are you a scrapbooker who swears to be card challenged?

if so, i have an e-book just for you!


Cards: Beautifully Handmade, is one of my e-books in a series of three called the Beautifully Handmade series.
