12 Days of Christmas Workshop and a Giveaway

As promised, I am back to talk about 12 Days of Christmas.

This workshop is taught by 12 Big Picture Classes teachers. We each did a layout about some Christmas activity.

Here is how it works:
For the 12 days leading up to Christmas, you will receive an email from a BPC teacher with a photo prompt and a list of supplies to gather. Preparing specific holiday pictures and products as Christmas approaches will help you focus on the present moments and the joyful anticipation in a more thoughtful way—without feeling any pressure to scrapbook right away! Then, starting on December 25th, you’ll get to “open” a new handout each day, designed to guide and inspire you in pulling together pictures and products to complete a dozen different layouts.

You can see all the twelve teachers and sign up if you click here.

I am giving away one seat in the class today. This time I will just ask for anything you might like to see on this blog. Which of the things I post about do you like the most? What’s something else you might want to see? So just leave a comment. I will leave comments open for a week and announce the recipient next Monday (November 21). If you’ve already signed up for the class, you can still be eligible to win and you’ll just get a refund so don’t worry.

You should know all the links to the class are affiliate links and I might get a tiny cut if you click through my site to sign up.

  • Grandma Shelley

    I absolutely love your blog…I have to say that I think your weekly art journaling projects are my favorite…however, I really don’t know how you keep up with all of your projects and still have time to take care of your beautiful family! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win such a GREAT prize!

  • Hello Karen.
    I really love reading your posts about your art journals. Seeing them so colorful every morning brightens my day and gets me feeling inspired. Also your sketching, seeing how it has evoloved since you started is amazing! Your layouts impress me with all the cleaness and yet depth. I guess the art you produce is what keeps me coming back and not only that but wanting more!

  • I really love it when you post about the creative thoughts and processes you go through. From art journaling to classes you take to how you did xyz… 😛

  • Cheri Stine

    I really love receiving your daily blog mainly because you are real and so willing to share your thoughts and feelings and vulnerability. But, if I could only read one thing from you (and I guess this means what I enjoy the most) it would be your book reviews. I’ve followed up on most of your book suggestions and you haven’t led me wrong yet. Thanks!

  • Hi Karen, Would love the opportunity to win your giveaway! I enjoy your blog and the format. So organized and lots of visuals. I would like to see more videos on how you do the week journal pages. How do you prepare your pages and what journals to you use.

  • Susan

    I love your layouts and the longer posts about things you are thinking thru..art and otherwise. I also like the way your thoughts become part of your art. Very inspiring.

  • I love your photography posts & as it’s a great interest of mine & I don’t devote a lot of time to studying it it’s always great to hear your recommendations!

  • Diane Marra

    I love your blog and follow you each day. I love the art journaling posts. I would love to hear more about your techniques?

  • I have become a super fast Fan of your blog & Love your scrapbook pages & Digital downloads which I appreciate so much as I am doing Project Life and they work prefect. So I would love to maybe see more of those together & how you incorporate them together.

  • Antoinette Naude

    I like the sketch posts and also the layouts, but i would love some more photography and photo editing tips. Your pictures are so gorgeous 🙂

  • Meggie

    I have enjoyed your blog for a few years now and I must say I like the fact thay you are here almost every day and if not you usually warn us.
    I love the family photos and the art journaling. You are so encouraging and inspiring.

  • Cheryl

    Family photos and art journalling and when you share your pensive moments. Love it all! But then, I love you, too!

  • Laura

    Hi, Karen. My favorite posts are your scrapbooking ones, but I try to read almost everything. I’d love to win a seat in the class — I’ve been hemming and hawing about whether I really have the time for it, but very tempted.

  • Michelle H.

    It’s hard to pick one thing because I love your blog so much, but your art journal pages leave me in total awe and I cannot get enough of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • I love the looks you give to the inside of your life. My favorite part of your blogging is the peek at the weeklong art journaling. I’d like to see more of that, perhaps with peeks at your process. Thanks for a chance to win!

  • dawn

    I really want to take this class, would be so much fun with you and the other fun ladies teaching. Thank you for the chance to win.

    My favorite thing about your blog is your art journals so anything more to do with that is great. But really you share more then most blogs out there and I’m happy with it just the way it is too.

  • BeckyR

    I love seeing you layouts. I’ve loved watching your art blossom!

  • Damiane Lucas

    Hi Karen,

    I would love to win this class! Thanks for the opportunity. I love your blog and would enjoy you doing a tutorial on painting/decorating little ATC cards. I would like to make a carousel like the one you did that featured little pics of your son. Super cute project!!!

  • Theresa

    ohh this looks so good!! I like your art journaling posts the most and also your layouts.

  • Dee Cummins

    I would love to be able to take this class. I love reading your blog. I like seeing the family photo session and keeping up with your new layouts. I like reading about your thoughts on life, exercising, and making art. I have been inspired by your determination to exercise daily and think about you when I want to cut my walks short! You have influenced me to start sketching (a little) and I like how you keep adding new layers to your art as you started watercoloring. Thanks for the chance.

  • Oh I would love to do this class with you… it would make a great birthday present for me seeing as it’s my birthday the day before your announcement! hint hint!

    As to what I love about your blog – all your beautiful layouts… they are a great inspiration to me.

  • Pat P

    Hi Karen,

    I’m taking the class whether I win or not, but it’s nice that you are offering us all a chance to win a seat!

    It was hard to pick one thing I like best about your blog, but I think it’s watching you learn and grow. You’re a constant reminder of what a person can accomplish if they just put their mind to it. Also, I love seeing the pictures of the boys, and hearing how they are growing and changing. That’s a joy too.

    Have a great week!

    Pat

  • I already enjoy reading the topics as they are scheduled on a daily basis, but I really like two things: when you provide step by step directions on your projects and your insight on how you are feeling, what you are thinking, things that bother you and when you walk yourself through an issue. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the class!

  • My favorite thing about your blog is when you show how you balance being a mom, being a scrapper and artist, and working full time. It’s what brought me here in the first place and it’s what helps me deal with my own work day.

  • Therese H

    I like so much about your blog; the scrapbook pages, the painting and journaling books, your blog motivated me to do a Grateful Album. So many things. Thanks for all the ideas!

  • Jody

    I love your stories about real life – they are so honest and unassuming. It helps me realize that everyone has things they must deal with that aren’t always fun. I would love to see more on the organizing and planning that you do – you seem so put together and make such good use of your time!

  • Carolyn Lontin

    I love your blog! What a fantastic give-away! Good luck to all!

  • I find your honesty very refreshing, and the way you manage your time absolutely amazing! More on how you fit it all in would be great 🙂 Working full time and trying to fit everything else in is a constant challenge and you are definitely an inspiration.

  • Susan Usry

    I miss the daily updates. Weird, I know, but I miss the life part of your blog.

  • Hester

    I love to read how you try to accomplish the things you want to do in your life, and how you incorporate them in your daily schedule. I am not a planner at all, and would like to get more things done. The course looks great, i just love christmas time.

  • Kathy R

    Love how you are a goal oriented person. Very different from me…hopefully I can learn a thing or two from you especially about time management. Enjoy your art too and love your scrapbook layouts. My favorite holiday is Christmas and this course looks very interesting.

  • I have been loving the thoughts postings as of late. So real. It reminds me that I need to get back on that bandwagon on my own blog.

  • robin

    Oh my, I found your blog from your art journaling post on Julie Balzer’s blog and I have to say I think you are going to change my world. Everything you said about art journaling resonated with me, it was like a peek in to my own mind! I am finally ‘just doing it’ thanks to your blog post. I also love the one moleskin for everything post, going to start that now, why wait until 2012?

  • I already signed up for this class but would love to win a seat. I come every day to read your blog. Love it! I would love to learn more about the products (paint, pencil, paper) you’re using to creat such beautiful art journal pages.
