Words Unsaid Mini Workshop with Jen Gallacher + Giveaway!

You'll be happy to learn Garden Girl and Two Peas Instructor Jen Gallacher is back again with another workshop!  You loved her Scrapbook Stamping class, now she's added a mini class, "Words Unsaid" to our library of workshops!  

---- 

 

Memories fade quickly and making sure we include all our stories within our scrapbooks can seem daunting. In this Mini Workshop, Garden Girl Jen Gallacher shares her approach for meaningful journaling. Jen is a dedicated journal keeper and has kept personal journals for over 30 years (ever since she was old enough to write). Now she combines her love of record keeping with scrapbooking! This journaling-centered class covers topics from holidays, to day-to-day events, to family moments, and several often forgotten subjects.

Lessons include:

Chapter 1: Special Events

Chapter 2: Day-to-Day Living

Chapter 3: Stories to Remember

Each chapter includes 10 BRAND NEW layouts for a total of 30 layouts. An instructional video is provided for each chapter in which Jen discusses her philosophy on journaling each memory, as well as, her creative approach to journaling design. Each chapter video highlights the start-to-finish process of one of the chapter layouts. Watch Jen select the photos, journal her story, and complete a layout all under 30 minutes!

Beyond mere journaling, Jen discusses challenges to telling the story, creative methods for incorporating journaling on the page, and product suggestions for a fresh approach to journaling design. A helpful PDF is provided for each chapter and combines into a complete, comprehensive guide to meaningful journaling. Each layout is highlighted on its own page and includes the complete supply list, a close-up photo, and the approach to both documenting the story and the design of the journaling. Additional materials found within the PDF include topic ideas, journaling product ideas, and tips and tricks for journaling.

Whether you're an experienced writer looking to incorporate journaling into your scrapbooks, or you struggle with knowing what to say on your pages, this workshop's for you! Never leave "words unsaid" again!

This workshop sounds like just what I need since I have stopped journaling on my scrapbook pages. When I first began scrapbooking I always did some form of journaling and in the past few years I seem to have gotten away from writing anything but the date. I need some help!

[lana day]

This workshop sounds amazing, I have never purchased an online class because I am weary if I would complete it??? this looks fantastic though.

[Jennifer C]

I never journal (well sometimes)...so this might give me the kick that I need to get more down with words.

[Amy H]

I scrap a lot of events but little day-to-day and I'd love some ideas to get that reined in. Generally I don't scrap an event until LONG after it so keeping the information at hand is crucial- ideas are appreciated!

[Miriam Prantner]

I did a good job of this during my daughters' first years, but not so much these days. This class sounds like a great way to get back to journaling!

[tape]

I journal way too little, that's why I need this workshop!

Finding the right words can sometimes be a real problem. Sometimes I feel they are not a true reflection of the event but more the boring and safe who, what and when.

[katkat]

Right! Memory does fade, especially mine! LOL!! But honestly, I don't like journaling and that's the last thing I do when working on a layout coz' I don't know where to start and what to write. But since I'm a big fan of Jen, this class is really a good chance for me to pick up some hints and learn a few things about journaling. ;)

Thanks for a chance to win.

This would be perfect for me. I am not a great writer and I need help. ddobson

[Wendy]

I love to journal. Some of the best pages I have ever done were ones that began with journaling and allowed the rest to fall in place. I would love to get some further tips on how to do this important work. gastoryteller

[Dana]

Journaling has always been a very important part of my scrapbooking. I have not been able to share my stories for the past few years due to medical issues, but now I am starting to get back into it. To journal for me is to take a trip back down memory Lane and to bring to life the moments that can be shared, treasure, and remembered for a life time. To journal is not just words on a page, but the feeling that once read, that you are stepping back in time reliving that moment all over again. That is my hope for each pagge that my son read's in his album. To remember all the fun, love, challenges, and rewards. Thanks for sharing this class with us all and for the chance to win. Hugs.

[chiara]

I usually DON'T journal at all..just the title, a quote...date & place. I need help to improve that part! scrapbooking is also recording memories..with a good journal. If I don't write anything..anything will be remember in a few years. That's why I'd like to attend this class :)

After a long time struggling with journalling I'm just beginning to get my head round it and a bit of further inspiration from this class would be amazing.

[Jess C]

What a great sounding class. I'd love to win because while I journal on every LO I think I need to make it more meaningful.

[Linda]

First, I love Jean's work. More importantly, I need inspiration to scrap layouts other than my grandchildren. I have been thinking maybe the Midwest Drought, my work history, etc.

[Lisa aka Myran]

I really find it hard with journaling! I'm not sure what to write and often I can find that the journaling "interrupt" with the rest... So this workshop is perfect for me!!

[NEUSINHA FUSCO]

I want to do THIS COURSE BECAUSE I LOVE JEN AND ALSO LOVE YOUR WORK

[Karen keiper]

I'd love to do this course as i believe the journalling is an important part of the page BUT whenever i finish a page i look at it and am disappointed that i didnt journal enough. :-{

[scrapbooker1030]

I have thought about taking this class because journaling is the last thing I put on a LO.
