Giveaway: The Ties That Bind

Today I am excited to share about a new Big Picture Classes class The Ties That Bind taught by my friend, the inspiring Stephanie Howell. If you don't read her blog, you should. It is one of my must-reads. Not only is she incredibly creative and a scrapbooker (who I have admired for many years), but she is a mama you can REALLY relate to. She doesn't beat around the bush. She's passionate. She's dedicated. She is real.

I did a little email interview with her. Check it out:

First, tell us a little about you, your sweet family and your hobbies: I am a work from home mama to four little girls. I am also married to my real-life action hero (he's in the army) Jimmy. I spend most of my time doing dishes and brushing hair, but scrapbooking is my creative release and my sanity.

Can we just stop for a minute and talk about how cute her girls are?! SERIOUSLY.

Why did you create The Ties That Bind? I think people get so caught up in what is “in” in scrapbooking. In products, companies, styles. None of that matters. I believe that what matters is documenting the relationships in your life…telling others how important they are to you. I want to leave a legacy for my children.

What can people expect to learn? This class provides an in depth discussion of the five types of relationships in your life, how to identify them, and how to document them. Each relationship type has a brand new layout and PDF sketch download.

Who would enjoy this class? Anyone who is looking to get a little deeper with their creating.

I definitely want to encourage you to check out Stephanie's class, The Ties That Bind. I have just had time to peak in the classroom, but you will not be disappointed by the prompts and quality of work.

Today, I am happy to give away one spot in the The Ties That Bind. Just use the rafflecopter widget below to enter. I will draw a winner tomorrow morning!

Good luck!

    Looks like a wonderful class. Too often I think I focus on the photo and making it look good on a page that I forget to include the details behind the photo and the love of the people.

    I would love to learn how to document the different relationships in my life, because currently it feels like I am just documenting only one.

    This class sounds so fun and inspirational!! I would love to take her class and be able to refocus my relationships and get down to the core of their meanin in my life. To be able to fully appreciate and then document or journal @ them. At my church right now we are focusing on our Dreams and our relationships and this clad would be PERFECT and what a perfect time to combine this with that.
    Thank you for introducing us to her blog and class and t will be a blessing to all who attend. Thank you for the chance to win a spot in te class!

    I would love to take this class because I need this – my journaling has become superficial and I would love for it to be more meaningful.

    I have taken Big Picture Classes before, and I love them. I have always felt like scrapbooking needed to tell the story of your life and your relationships, so this is my philosophy. Anything new I could add to my skills and ideas in this area, I would love to learn!

    Bummer that my MacBook Air doesn’t let me even see the thing to enter. I think I might really enjoy this class. I’ve always been involved in family history, but I am more of a data person and not much of a story person. I would like to work on that a bit. I notice that I like that in my personal scrapbooking as well. Our albums are full of the facts and details of our lives, but not much of the emotion and story.

    I have been scrapbooking for a while now and think that the most difficult part is the journaling. But I always write something, even if it is only one sentense. I think I could learn a lot from this class!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Maybe this would help me get my six yo DS and five yo DD albums done. Or started. Whichever, it would be fun!

    This came at the perfect time… I have so much scrapbook “stuff” that I don’t spend enough time doing it! This would be awesome to keep me motivated!
