paper: Scrapbooking Events - Mark your calendars! | pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

It’s less than a month until I am home and back to my crafting supplies – hard to believe! If you’re feeling the need to craft (I totally am!) then I thought you might be interested in three upcoming events – all online so you can participate from anywhere in the world! Go grab your calendar and see if you can make any of these.

March 4-6: Jenni Bowlin Studio Online Crop Party
A weekend-long scrapbooking party, hosted by Jenni Bowlin and filled with crafting challenges, live chats and prizes. This event is totally free and you can participate as much or as little as you like. It starts this Friday and the chats and challenges go through the weekend, but you have a full week to work on the craft challenges as they don’t close until Sunday the 13th. I’m hosting one of the challenges and you’ll find it here on the blog as well as on the JBS message board when the party gets started.

March 11-13: Two Peas in a Bucket Online Crop Party
Another weekend event, this time hosted by Garden Girls Caroline, Lisa and Margie. Everything starts on Friday night and chats and challenges end on Sunday. Again, it’s totally free and you can participate in lots of challenges or just one if you like. Two Peas gives great prizes for their online crops so there could be some shopping in your future! (I’m not hosting for this crop but they are always great fun so I thought I would pass it on to you.)

April 7-9: True Scrap
If you ever wanted to attend a big scrapbooking convention with lots of classes and workshops, but just never seemed to be in the right place at the right time, this may be just the event for you. True Scrap is essentially an online scrapbooking convention with a dozen classes plus make and takes and a keynote interview with Ali Edwards. The event is hosted by Lain Ehmann and the teachers include Jennifer McGuire, Kelli Crowe, Nic Howard, Katrina Kennedy, Noell Hyman, Aby Garvey, Stephanie Ackerman, Tami Morrison, Tracey Clark, Erin Bassett and… me! We’ll each be leading a session on a unique topic and these classes will encourage you to try new techniques, get the most from your creative process, stretch your supplies and more. In addition to all those workshops that will inspire your crafting on many levels, there are also virtual make and takes, where you can follow detailed instructions for recreating beautiful projects, step by step. This event also includes several live chats so you can discuss things right then and there with the teachers, just like at a real convention.

This is a live event that requires registration, and has two options: participating live or also having replay access to all the materials, so you can watch and rewatch and reschedule classes to fit your schedule.

And actually I’ll be teaching a real, live workshop that weekend too – I’ll be in Germany for Crop on the Rhine 3! If you want more details on that, just let me know and I’ll email you.

Now… it’s just between you and your calendar to see if you’re allowed to have a weekend or three of scrapbooking fun!
