Workshop Giveaway: Hello Story with Ali Edwards

Sponsors & Giveaways

I‘m so excited to be able to offer a spot in Hello Story, a 4Experts class at Big Picture Classes, with one my favorite storytellers Ali Edwards.

About the Class

What’s your story? This summer, say hello to a dozen strategies for sharing more of your words, and yourself, on your scrapbook pages.

In her new 12-week workshop, Hello Story, Ali Edwards will introduce you to 12 storytelling techniques—never-before-seen in her prior journaling workshops—that will bring creativity and clarity to both your writing and your page designs. Every week, you get to sit over Ali’s shoulder and watch her transform her story ideas into timeless, authentic, story-rich scrapbook pages.

BPC HS image1

Through dozens of in-depth videos that cover storytelling and design ideas as well as 36+ exclusive layout examples from Ali (12″ x 12″ and 8 1/2″ x 11″ layouts, plus Project Life inserts), this 4Experts class will inspire you to take action and give you the tools you need to tell your own stories with confidence.

Are you ready to discover (or rediscover) the fun that comes from the interplay of design and words? By the end of class, you may even enjoy the writing process just as much as you love taking photos and playing with paint and paper!
