3x4 Photo Love - A New Online Scrapbooking Class
Once upon a very long time ago, I led a year-long video project called 4×6 Photo Love for an online store, with an update each month, all featuring 4×6 prints. We scrapped one 4×6 photo in January, two in February, all the way up to twelve in December. That project came from an era when I ordered all my photos printed as 4×6 prints and although the supplies were those on the market at the time, the sketches and ideas still work and some are ideas I’ve come back to dozens of times since.
Except now I split my photo sizes, with about half of my prints at the 3×4 size. It’s high time I create a library of page designs for 3×4 photos – a new reference guide with ideas that can be used time and time again over time, with different supplies, different colour schemes, and different stories.
3×4 Photo Love is a much quicker format than once a month, so you won’t have long to wait! This online class has six livestreamed lessons, each making two pages, for a total of twelve pages. The first lesson starts with one 3×4 photo, with a design for a portrait (vertical) photo and a design for a landscape (horizontal) photo. We will carry on through the lessons, adding an additional photo, until our last lesson features six portraits on one page and six landscapes on another. These page designs also shift easily to add more photos if you prefer, so you’ll have plenty of options. You’ll also see exactly how page designs can be adjusted from portraits to landscapes. I won’t be featuring pages that mix the portraits and landscapes but we will stop to talk about that with the designs where it can work easily, and we’ll look at how the pages could work side by side for stories that give you plenty of photos in both directions.
The schedule for the livestreamed lessons is:
Thursday 25 June 1:30pm
Friday 26 June 1:30pm
Thursday 2 July 1:30pm
Friday 3 July 1:30pm
Monday 6 July 10:00am
Tuesday 7 July 6:00pm
All the above are on London time, which is currently British Summer Time.
There is no requirement to watch live – all the lessons will then remain available to watch on your own schedule. With the recent Clear the Desk Live class, many participants said they rescheduled all the lessons to their own times rather than watch live and it still worked really well for them. There is a place to leave questions on the class forum during the live run, so if you have a question but can’t make it to ask in the live chat, you can leave your question there and I’ll be sure to discuss it in the next lesson’s video.
From now until through the 3rd of July, sign up for the opening week price of $15 (US dollars). From the 4th, the price will go to $20 and remain at that price as the standard self-paced option. All my classes remain accessible on your account permanently, so if you are planning to take this but move it to another time of year, you’re very welcome to do so and can sign up with the opening week price then come back to it when you’re ready, if that seems sensible to your scrappy calendar.
This class is now available on my new classroom website, with instant access when you sign up. Find it here. (If you signed up before, it is ready and waiting for you on the new site too – just sign in and you’ll find it!)
