We're thrilled to share the latest class from Garden Girl Amy Heller with you - Seasonal Storytelling! If you love soaking up the special moments each season brings, then you will love how Amy and her contributors share creative ways of documenting them! Scroll down for your chance to win a spot in this new class.
---
Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Each season brings about its own wonderful and memorable moments for us all. Perhaps Winter, when celebrating Christmas or Hannukah and the New Year, is your most memorable time of the year. Or maybe it is Spring when your family celebrates a number of birthdays, or you love preparing your garden and celebrating Easter. Then there is Summer - full of outdoor activities, 4th of July, camping and family vacations. And of course, Autumn with the beginning of school, the glorious changing of nature’s color, bountiful harvests, Halloween and Thanksgiving. When you break the year up into seasons, there certainly are plenty of stories worth telling!
In Seasonal Storytelling: Mini Books for Sharing Each Season’s Special Memories, we break down the year into the four seasons. This provides a naturally broadened perspective through which to document your special memories. Because of this broadened view, we introduce you to four different approaches to creating seasonal mini albums - Events & Traditions, Timeframes, On-the-Go and Reflections. With each chapter, we will focus on a different season and share two of these four approaches for tackling that season to create a mini book filled with a memories that fits your lifestyle, your scrapping habits and your style of creating.
Showcasing eight different and unique mini albums filled with over 100 pages of ideas, Seasonal Storytelling covers each of the seasons, throughout four chapters. Every chapter contains a printable PDF containing two beautifully crafted mini albums along with a coordinating video. Also included are two exclusive printable journaling cards used as the base for one of the mini albums featured in the workshop.
The content of this workshop will be available immediately upon purchase. The lessons are available for you to work at your own pace and upon purchase can be accessed in the "Workshops" section under "Classes & Events." A private message board forum is also available to ask questions for Amy and to connect with other participants.
And now we get to give a class spot away! Just leave a comment here letting us know why you'd love to take this workshop along with your Two Peas username for your chance to win. The giveaway is open through Monday, November 12th. We'll draw and announce a winner here on the blog on the 13th. Good luck!



First of all I always love what Amy creates, then I never create a mini book and always read about them I will love to know more about them :)

I love the versatility of mini books and the ability to whip them out for multiple gift & memory occasions. I'd love to win this so that I can get some inspiration and a different approach for using photos and keepsakes in a single theme or story. Username: Kezz27

Wow this sounds like an impressive class. I'd like the class because time goes by so quickly and each season blends into the next. It would be nice to slow down, appreciate and capture thoughts and photos.

I have just started to get into paper crafts! I'm loving all the inspiration I'm seeing at Two Peas! I have developed an obsession with mini albums. I'm also getting ready to start my first year of Project Life. I've always wanted to get better at expressing my memories and experiences through scrapbooking, so this class would definitely be helpful in providing me with inspiration. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in this very impressive class!

I love the idea of looking at scrapbooking from a different point of view. After my fourth was born this Sept. I haven't had tons of time to scrapbook, and I haven't felt very creative in that area. Mini albums have always caught my interest, and this class just enhances that.

I love the idea of making seasonal mini books even though I've never really been into Journaling. I'm more of an Altered Art sort of girl. This would be a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper into the journaling process on a smaller scale, and find ways to blend Journaling and Altered Art together. My username is "Lesseley".

Looks like an amazing class. I would love to learn to make different minis based on the different ideas and to use seasons. thanks. iggyboo32

This class sounds fun! I would love to take it because I am a slow scrapbooker, so I like to create mini books which review a particular time period (i.e. year-in-review) since I know it will take me a while to actually finish the layouts of those photos. It's fun to be able to look back on what happened over the summer or fall in a quick little mini book!
