The news was part of the kickoff for the Big Idea Festival going on right now:
And now for even more fun - I have one spot to giveaway in Amy Tan's ongoing, self-paced workshop, The Good Life!
Class Description
This class will focus on some of the components that make up the good life. You'll create and be inspired by fashion, home/office, travel and crafts. You'll also learn plenty of techniques that you can use on your various projects, which aren't limited to just fabric and paper. In this class, you will spend a little time learning, absorbing, feeling inspired and then be able to spend more time actually experiencing and doing. Isn't that what life's all about anyway?
The Good Life Projects Include:
● Craft: Step-by-step instructions to create a layout.
● Travel: Instructions for creating a scrapbooking on the go kit.
● Travel: Instructions for creating an on-the-go mini book.
● Home Office: Instructions for creating a layout including stitching on paper.
● Fashion: Instructions for creating a reverse applique' design on a t-shirt.
● Amy also shares a lot of inspirational stories, tips and techniques in this wonderful class!

My big idea was to take two classes in the same month. I believe I bit off more than I can chew. LOL! It's all good though because they are scrapping classes and I am the only one putting any pressure on to complete things on a deadline. :)

My big idea is to make something - anything everyday. I love to stitch on my layouts.
ReplyDeleteMy newest big idea is committing to not following trends! If I like it, then fine. I can always try something once, right? & to be gutsy but less approval seeking when expressing my creativity. Thanks for the chance to win, Donna!
