This is a little children’s story I wrote using David’s photos. David’s
been really into ants lately so I wanted to commemorate that. I also
painted the papers as if a kid drew on them with crayons. The story goes
like this:

There once was a little boy named David who was friends with an ant.
They did everything together. They went everywhere together. They were
friends. But one day, the little boy lost his ant. He looked everywhere.
Desperate, he went to the chicken and asked if she’d seen his friend. He
then went to talk to Mrs. Pig but she hadn’t seen David’s ant either. He
checked every tree and talked to the other ants he saw along the way. He
looked for hours and hours. He walked all over, searching. He turned
every stone he could find to see if his friend was stuck or playing
hide-and-seek. He walked up the stairs to the house where they were
staying to check if he took a nap. But the ant was nowhere. He wasn’t
sleeping or hiding. David was tired. Just when he was about to give up,
he decided to check one more place and there he was! He greeted his
friend. And finally the boy and his ant were united once again. David
was really happy.

I am so excited to announce that I will be teaching AMM’s first online class:
The Book of Me: Six easy and six not-so-easy facts about me.

You’ll have access to a students-only board and here’s some more
information about the class:

This album will guide you to make a minibook containing 6 easy and 6 not
so easy facts about you. Each page of the minibook will be a list of six
things on a particular topic, like songs you like or places you’ve been.
There will be six pages of easy and fun facts about you and then six
pages of deeper, more meaningful facts. A total of 14 classes will be
spread across three weeks to give you plenty of time to catch up.

Each class will contain an example page from Karen’s minibook with
alternate ideas, photography tips, journaling tips, and lot of other
inspiration. You will have access to a private bulletin board where you
can ask questions, show off your minibook pages and share the joy of
creating a memorable and meaningful album for yourself and your loved ones.

The best thing about this class is that you can use your own stash and
your own, unique style to create your book. It will be 100% authentic to
you.



You can find a lot more information here.

the class here.



I hope you join us! You won’t regret it!

This is another one of the layouts I did for AMM’s DT call. It’s about
how I will always be there for David.
