Sponsor Giveaways : Little Light Studio, Big Picture Scrapbooking, & Mondo Beyondo
Two people will receive full tuition to Lights! Camera! Actions!, the latest online photo editing course from www.littlelightstudio.net.
Once upon a time in a land far, far away (aka the internet) Kayla Aimee Terrell and Wilna Furstenberg hosted a few online classes together. Soon, their Bling Out Your Blog class outgrew it’s online home. “Whatever shall we do?” they asked themselves. And then the prince climbed up the tower…no wait, wrong story. Then they worked and worked and created a new space to offer classes, with cute classrooms and lots of free goodies.
Little Light Studio is now home to online scrapbooking, photography and blogging workshops as well as free tutorials and printable products! The latest class, Lights! Camera! Actions!, is offered in collaboration with www.scrapartist.com and focuses on photo editing techniques such as color tints, vintage washes, skin smoothing, web editing and more! Plus, it includes a private class forum, photos, bonus editing kit and a 20 page photobook template! People from all across the land came to spruce up their photos. And they all lived happily ever after!
SPECIAL OFFER : Now
through June 15 readers can enter code AE15 at checkout to
take 15% off enrollment in the workshop.

One person will receive a spot in Tracey Clark's upcoming Big Picture workshop: Picture Summer.
Picture Summer is a 30-day photography project intended to encourage and inspire you to celebrate the season of sun and fun by playfully engaging your creative spirit.
As you are greeted each morning with a new photo prompt in your inbox, you will discover new ways of seeing things as you point your lens toward your daily life and the world around you. Summer is a time where most daily routines are turned on their ear and the combination of long sunny days, warm weather and a lack of schedule can be a blessing (offering a well-needed reprieve from the rest of the year) and a challenge (chaos, kids, travel). Taking a few minutes to put it all in perspective will help make your comings and goings that much more enjoyable. The imaginative guidance of this e-class will be a perfect way to start each day.
It is my hope that by participating in the Picture Summer 30 day project, that you will not only be pursuing happiness, you will be living it, one day, one picture at a time.

After a very full school year of teaching junior high SPED and finishing my own master's degree I am hoping to learn the value of rest and relaxation! Hopefully, two weeks of strolling the streets of Spain will bring this!

wow, any of these would be soooo awesome! I am hoping to learn to scrapbook again. I am a 'recovering' chronological scrapbooker and I think you Ali and Stacy Julian and Noel Hyman finally got through this thick skull of mine! I'm going to start trying to scrap stories I want to tell. Who cares what else isn't scrapped, who cares if no one might ever treasure them when I'm gone, who cares if it even lasts long enough for someone else to treasure! I need to create and it's great fun to have those stories down for ME to treasure!

I have heard many positive things about Mondo Beyondo classes...this would be great to win! (although picture summer looks like fun too :))
I am hoping to learn courage & (inner) strength this summer (/year).. by the end of the summer I will be moving away from my family for the first time, navigating new places-new home-new job-new friends-new everything. Lots of that fun 'growing up, life changing' type stuff :)

I am hoping to start a class in doing watercolor. I have never taken any "art" courses and it is something that I have always wanted to try. I have just started doing some art journaling and I think it would really help me to understand the techniques used in doing watercolor.
Aloha, Kate

I hope to learn to enjoy each day and the moments therein rather than always anticipating the next event, chore, etc.
