Travel Album // New Class at BPC!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce that I have a new class up at Big Picture Classes called Travel Album. It's a fun-filled class that's all about creating a 4x4 mini album to document your travel memories. Some of my favourite travel mini-books on my shelf  are these little 4x4 ones (like my Seattle album from a few years ago), so I was happy to put together this class for BPC to show you my process of creating a 4x4 travel album.

In the lessons, I share with you tried-and-true tips and tricks for printing photos, gathering supplies, and sorting through memorabilia. Then I'll walk you through some cool techniques and ideas to bring everything together and to add layers and stamping to your pages. There's a mix of photo-based lessons and video lessons, and at the end of class is a walk-through video of my completed album :)

I also had the fun opportunity to design a new 4x6 travel themed stamp set to go along with this class. You'll see me using this set in the lessons, and I wanted to make sure the designs were versatile and useful for all your travel documenting.

I've been working on this class since last year, so it's really exciting to see it now go live on the site. I hope to see you there! :)

BPC + SC // New Classes!

I'm excited to announce I'm teaching the latest installment of the Pocket Prompts series over at Big Picture Classes. You can check out Pocket Prompts | 13 for photography, journaling, and pocket page inspiration. Here's the full description for my class:

Ready to learn more techniques, tips, and project ideas for your pocket-based, memory-keeping projects? Each month, we'll bring you a new Pocket Prompts class from an inspiring pocket-page maker. This month, Geralyn Sy will be sharing five photo prompts and five journaling prompts, as well as a look into her process of putting a page together from start to finish. It's sure to be a great time!

I hope you check it out! I also teach a Letterpress class at BPC if you're interested in learning more about that one as well.

As for Studio Calico, there are two awesome new workshops to look forward to:


1. Everyday Videography // Capture your memories in a new way! Join videographer Nicole Cole of 314 Productions for an in-depth look at the ins and outs of phone videography. Nicole walks you through the process of planning, shooting, and editing different types of videos and shares tips and tricks designed to help you every step of the way. Whether you’re recording everyday events or putting together a sentimental graduation video, you’ll learn how to document every occasion with style. Everyday Videography begins March 1st.

2. Mini-book Library 2016 // Build your Mini Book Library with Studio Calico! Enroll in our Mini Book Mini Workshops and create six unique books to hold 2016’s biggest memories. April Foster, Caylee Grey, Lisa Truesdell, Tina Aszmus, Karen Baker and Stephanie Bryan will each be sharing a different style of mini book in this series of workshops.

I'm personally really excited about both topics. Videography is something I'm going to try and explore more of this year, especially since I'm documenting this year with the 1 Second Everyday app. Mini-books are super fun and I love using them to record trips and specific topics. Cannot wait to be inspired in both classes!
