In Shimelle Laine's online class Something From Almost Nothing, you'll make an album and more by using your existing supplies in creative ways. This three week class will make the most of the creative energy we have in the spring and by the end you'll have zero guilt as you put all those supplies into beautiful projects.

My current favorite photo is one of my 4 y.o. daughter that I took on her birthday. The wind is gently blowing her hair and she has the most contemplative expression on her face. I just love it.

My favorite photos usually are of people, but right now I'd have to say my favorite is from our trip to hawaii of waimea bay, with the surf rushing to crash into the shore. It was amazing!

I have a photo of the shadow of the dog walking with me; a simple composition of a simple pleasure in my life right now.

My favorite photo is one from last Sat. My two siter-in-laws (ages 19 and 20) married best friend marines (each age 21). This one particular photo perfectly captures their love for each other and the pure joy of this special day in their life. As marines they face deployments in the near future (one July and the other Sept./Oct.) and this picture totally captures the here and now. Truly a priceless moment captured on film.

a super closeup (shallow depth of field) of my new "california" starbucks mug with steam rising from my french press coffee. i love the graphics on the mug...palm trees and the beach on one side, redwoods on the other side..the inside is the same robin's egg blue of the word, "california" in a font similar to garamouche. not only does it remind me of recent trip to l.a., but it also makes me wish i was a graphic designer for starbucks.

My husband took a photo of me one night before we went out together. I'm dressed up, my hair and makeup look good. I look happy. Some days, I revisit that photo just to get a lift.

My current favorite photo is one of my husband holding each of our boys up with his arms, each boys is hanging off of dad's arms. It really shows how they love to play with their dad and the special relationship that they have with him.

My current favourite photo is a self-portrait I took using my new remote control. Not only is it in focus (yeah!!) but I also took it in full manual mode as a result of taking the BPS class, Moving Into Manual Mode with Elisha Snow.

How cool! The photo class at BPS! My favorite photo right now is of my son, at age 3 (now almost 20), hugging my favorite childhood toy. I turned it into a digi scrapbook page and it's on my desktop screen.

My current favourite is my son with his hockey team posing for their "official" team photo. Mine is taken when they were joking around and it really captures the personality of the boys.

My current favourite photo also happens to be the one I am scrapping right now-- my husband leaning in to come forehead to forehead with our little girl, and her closing her eyes and smiling. Such a precious moment captured!
