pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

Do you love 4×6 prints? They are still my favourite for scrapping, and this year I’ll presenting a year-long free class all about just that! Each month we’ll add one more photo, so in January it’s all about one 4×6 photo, in February it will be two and right up to a dozen pictures in December! Each month includes a video, PDF and chat thread at Two Peas in a Bucket, plus two chances to win! One chance at Two Peas and another here at shimelle.com!

This class is free and open to paper and digital scrappers with any style. You can use your own supplies and adapt things to make everything work for you, as always!

Click here for this month’s pages and PDF and here for the message board chat.

If you would like a monthly reminder about this class, you can find those details here. I will be sending this month’s reminder message by tomorrow. The class goes live on the 30th of each month, except for February which will be the 28th.

Now… how you can win. Make your page inspired by this month’s class and upload it to the gallery at Two Peas and check the box for this class in step four of the uploading process. That gets you entered to win a Two Peas prize! Leave a link to it in the comments on this post on my blog and that gets you entered to win a second prize – a $25 gift card to shop for scrapping supplies! Both of these have a deadline of the 27th of February 2011 for this month.

I hope you enjoy and can join me for a year of scrapping those 4×6 prints!

Throughout 2011, Two Peas is hosting four free online scrapbooking classes that last all year – and you’re invited to join in! On the first of each month, there’s Scrapbook Stamping with Nichol Magouirk. On the tenth, there’s Products Every Which Way with Shannon Tidwell. On the twentieth, there’s Stretch a Sketch with Jennifer Gallacher. And on the thirtieth of every month? There’s me! I’m teaching a class called 4×6 Photo Love.

Each month we’ll be scrapping with 4×6 photos – with a twist. In January, we’ll work with one 4×6 picture. In February, two pictures and so on right up to December, when we’ll scrap a twelve 4×6 pictures! Each month’s class looks at one technique or design principle for making that number of photos work. Some single pages, some doubles. Some pages have interactive tricks for including more pictures. So you can take your standard size prints and whatever supplies you have on hand and join in the fun!

Each month my class includes…
…PDF class prompt including instructions, examples and sketches
…Video episode walking you through adaptation of the highlighted technique
…Examples of paper, digital and hybrid scrapbook pages from myself and a range of special guests with varying styles
…Chat thread on the Two Peas message board
All for free!

Would you like to receive an email reminder each month when my class is live? If so, please send an email to shimelle at gmail dot com with this subject line: 4×6 Photo Love Reminders. (Copy and paste that subject line, as you won’t get added to the list unless it’s just like that! Thanks!) You’ll get one message each month when the class has been posted – no other mailings and I would never, ever sell your email list or anything else evil, I promise.

Oh, and one more thing about the class!
Here on the blog, I’ll be giving a prize each month to a randomly chosen participant too!

So why don’t we start things right with a prize giveaway today? One comment left on this blog post will win a $25 gift certificate to Two Peas, which you can spend on your choice of anything in the store – paper or digital! Just leave a comment to be entered to win! And be sure to check back later this week to see if you’re the winner.

Entries close at midnight UK time, 30th December 2010. Winner will be posted soon after that.
