December Daily® Product Play

December Daily® Product Play

Hearts, Stars, Circles

In this workshop we will take a closer look at playing with three specific shapes in December Daily® documentation: circles, hearts and stars. These are three of my favorite shapes and there are so many different ways you can creatively play with them to support and complement your stories - from using already designed products to creating your own. We'll also be talking about the specific design concepts that go into working with these shapes which will be useful for you in projects going forward (repetition, layering, scale). I'll be using products from this year's December Daily® collection but the products are not required as many ideas can be translated to what you might have in your memory keeping product stash. As always I'll be coming at this with storytelling and simple design at the forefront.

For this workshop each Creative Team member has selected a different product to create with. Some ideas shared in this workshop will be completed spreads with images and journaling, some ideas will be for foundation pages, and others will simply focus on ways to use the product to spark/create a home for your stories in December.

For 30 days in November, you’ll receive one new idea per day (for a total of 30) brought to you by Ali and the contributors to this class. Ideas in this workshop will focus on physical products from this year’s December Daily® Collection (specifics listed below). Each product with have three lessons taught by three different instructors and will be classified into different project levels depending on the amount of time or steps involved. 

• Level 1 – Super straightforward without a lot of steps, the simplest way to use something (< 20 minutes) 
• Level 2 - One step up from that with a few more steps (45 minutes and under) 
• Level 3 – An idea with the most steps and takes the most time. (1 hour +)

Our goal for this class is to provide inspiration to support your December storytelling by showcasing a wide variety of voices and project styles. We hope the framework of this class will help you tailor your projects based on your amount of time, energy or creativity on any given day before + during the holiday season.

The Magic of Moments

As memory keepers, we have a vast array of tools at our disposal, each designed specifically to help us tell the story of our lives. Among those tools, there are very few that are as powerful, or as personal, as photographs. The Magic of Moments is a photography class built around the simple idea that you have the most intimate access to your life and the people in it—take the pictures no one else can. 

Throughout the course of the workshop, Lisa Varshine will guide you through the process of finding your unique photography voice, capturing authentic moments, making intentional creative choices, and editing photos to further enhance their storytelling aspect.  

Someone wise once said, “Life is not measured in time. It is measured in moments.” This class will help you move beyond snapshots to artfully capturing the moments of your life, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Lisa's class includes a bonus lesson devoted to photographing holiday moments.
