Introducing A New Class At Big Picture Classes | One Little Word

Ali, I signed up right away and am so excited! I have a question about the album, though. Will I be able to take your prompts/inspiration and do a digital album? Or should I go ahead and buy the page protectors you suggested?

I just signed up! I really kept my word for 2010 in focus by making layout of it and hanging it on the wall across from my bed. It helped me make some good decisions in respect to my job. I can't wait for the class to begin!

Ali: do you know if the Pink Paislee refills fit an American Crafts 8.5x11 binder?

What a great idea for a class. I was excited when I got the email from Big Picture Classes.

Hi, I signed up for the class as well, I had too :) As soon as I started to read about your class at BPSB my soul put my word in front of my eyes. I didn't have time to think or ponder at all. It's going to be a Great new year and I'm looking forward to spending some of my time with you. Blessings

I've never scrapbooked but would like to take part in this project because it I want to do an album just for me!! And not the family. Do I have to be a scrapbooker?

I've signed up for this class as well. I've chosen my word...Discover.

I recently moved to northern Virginia and there is so much to see here that this year is going to be one little discovery after another, as has been the last couple months. And I don't mean just geographically. We are out here with no family, very few friends, and we are figuring out (discovering) who we are independent of every thing we've ever known.

Unfortunately, creativity has been put on the back burner for many many months with this whole process. I busted my tail unpacking my craft stuff and setting up a temporary studio so I could have it all available and get back in the groove. I sat down last night to do some Christmas projects I had in my head, and nothing worked. It was just stale, dead, and frustrating.

I hope this class will help me discover my creativity again. I'm opening a fresh page and I put the Christmas ideas away. Evidently I'm just not being called in that way right now.

Hi Ali, I've chosen my word for the year 'risks'. Thank you to you and to Andrea Scher, I have my word, and I have done my 2010 completion ritual. All ready to move forward into the new year with specific goals in sight. Such an incredible way to start the new year. Only wish I could join in the class.

Just signed up..yippee!

All signed up and ready, Just need my word and an album

I'm excited that this will be my first year picking a word with you. Having a class about it is even more exciting. So far I have 2 that I'm playing around with.

My question is how will you base this class on a word alone or by an action word, how will it all tie in together with so many different words? I hope this makes sense, I'm not sure how to describe it? Looking forward to this journey though, thank you so much for all your fun and inspiration you bring to us.

Question...I'm also considering getting the Project Life kit. It's been a couple years since I have done an annual scrapbook because, frankly, I just haven't found a format I'm happy with. I get frustrated with digital and overwhelmed at the slightest bit of being behind...Would the guidance of the class help in giving focus to that as well and do you feel PL would be a good companion to this class?

In the past I usually had a phrase or two I concentrated on, that reflected issues or my journey I wanted to focus on. I related to your one-word focus because of that. I too feel very inspired by your new class but in typical KK fashion I wondered how I could condense. It came to me when looking at a laundry product sitting in the bathroom that our family loves. Revive. I have many reasons and applications so now I can skip clicking to BPC to sign-up! Thanks.

Yikes! There must be a bunch of us excited about taking this class. Had the page protectors in my cart this morning at Two Peas since Scrapbook.com was out. . . but waited because I had a question for TwoPeas on the Y&T 6X12 page protectors I needed. . . got the answer but they're now out of the ones for One Little Word.

Wound up getting both at Archiver's Online: http://archiversannex.com/Parisian-Anthology-Portfolio-Binder-Album-Refill-85X11-Assorted-Sizes-20/Pkg-PA00423/default.aspx?PageID=21&CategoryID=5&ProductID=27539&ItemID=57969&RootCatCode=11100

Just have to hope they were in stock. We don't have a store within 2 hours that would have had either set of page protectors.

Hi Ali

I'm in, I signed up the other day, ordered my page protectors from Peas--(thanks for that heads up) I already know what pattern paper to use and I've got my "fixings" all lined up!!!

Yet--I still don't have a word, but get this--last year I had 7 of them!!! And boy did I use them all.

I'm still thinking this one through. I haven't had that "ahh ha" moment..but I've got my eyes and ears open for it! SUper excited for this new year. Thanks a bunch!

Ali,
I have a quick question for you. Do you use the Bamboo Tablet to create your designs, handwriting; etc.? I have been investigating and would love to buy one; but wasnt sure if that is it or not? Just curious! I cant wait to sign up for your class ...

[...] Ali Edwards posted about OLW for 2011 today. Just saw the post & thought you may be interested [...]

Hey Ali! So excited to see this. Making arrangements to get the protectors and will sign up soon! I wanted to ask you two questions:
1. Is the link on your site an affiliate link? I'd love to do a little extra to support your work on this site that provides so much inspiration to me.
2. About how much patterned paper do you think we'll use ultimately? I'd like to make a special choice and get enough right away because I have a total gift for picking the product that will be discontinued 2.4 seconds after my purchase. :)

Thanks!

I've just started thinking about my word for 2011. I've participated for the last 3 years and focused each year on the word I chose. It's amazing how the word I've chosen each year keeps popping up over and over. 2010 I chose the word 'FAMILY' and I've made a concerted effort to spend time with my parents, my children and my husband. We had a wedding and my mother-in-law spent most of a month with us recovering from a broken hip. Now that I look back, FAMILY was the right choice. Must think of a word for 2011...,

I'm really thinking about the word motivation. In some areas, I am kicking up my motivation level, and in others it is decreasing. So if I choose to focus on it, it will reinforce the good and help out with the not so good. Does that make any sense? :-)
