Creating.
Tags:
Working on a redesign for my CKU Week In The Life class. Design-wise I am focusing on trying to keep it simple but cool and flexible at the same time - having fun incorporating bits and pieces of all kinds of stuff. I want everybody to come in and feel comfortable yet challenged to try some new stuff and break out of their molds. That's what workshops are all about - a big part of the beauty of the experience. The first CKU of the year will be in Detroit in April - you can find more info on registering here. Will also be teaching this track in Anaheim, Nashville, and Orlando.
This is still one of my favorite projects. Tracking a week in your life is hard just because it takes so darn much time, but it is so worth it in the end. For the last two years I have done a full week and it is so cool to look back at all the little details that I would never have remembered if it were not for this scrapbook. Bits and pieces - the glorious goodness of our everyday existence.
Ah, the beauty.

Hey Ali,
I'm hoping to take your album track in Detroit if my fingers are fast enough during registration ;-) Are you still using the Bay Box system or are you using a new album? Just curious.

I am looking forward to just doing this on my own with some guidance from one of your worksheets that I picked up somewhere a few months ago. Such a cool project idea.

My fav book of yours is a travel book you made while overseas with just one stamp and a punch or something...I tore it out for my pile of things I want to try.
I've taken a few minimal supplies on each trip...none turn out finished, but I enjoy creating as I travel anyway! Thanks.
