Sponsor Giveaways : Tracey Clark for Big Picture Scrapbooking, Emera Bags, Shimelle.com
Three people will win a spot in Tracey Clark's upcoming class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Picture Spring.
From Tracey: If someone would have told me what I know today, I’m not sure I would have believed them. That the dew of morning could be magic. That a brand new bud, longing to bloom could cause for celebration. That a cup of tea could whisper an enchanting tale. That what was on my cutting board could bring me back to center. That a dandelion could restore my hope. It’s as though the entire world around me has woken up as have I, as I look both inside myself and out and feel as if every blade of grass, every shard of light is a brand new muse.
It is all of these things that prompted me to create Picture Spring; my new online at Big Picture Scrapbooking. A 30 day soulful seasonal celebration of these muses and using our cameras to seek them out. For all the details on registration on how you can awaken your senses and your lens this spring, visit me over there. I’m giddy with what we’ll discover together.
Picture Spring is a 30-day guided e-class at Big Picture Scrapbooking that will encourage and inspire you to use photography to celebrate the season of new beginnings while honoring and nourishing your creative spirit. With a new email and fresh perspective in your inbox each morning, you'll use the daily photo prompt to help open your mind and guide your lens to see and capture your life and the world around you. Whether you are an expert photographer, or just starting out, this project will help you see things in a completely new light. Taught by Shutter Sisters founder Tracey Clark, Picture Spring will offer a warm, welcoming Shutter Sisteresque invitation to discover the season; camera in hand.

One of my favorite photos is of my now 16-year old son when he was just about 18 months old. He's making this cute pouty, fishy face that he did for several months and it's just adorable.

My current favorite photo is one of my daughter from several months ago. My mother took it with her crappy digital camera but it so captures my daughter's spirit and spunk. I have it as my desktop image on my computer.
And oh my goodness I've been lusting over these *emera bags for some time now and we simply can't afford one right now. Hoping to be able to budget for one in the future.

My current fav is a photo of my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter dressed in her "Fancy Dancy (her pronunciation of Nancy) finery, complete with big red drop earrings, tiara and glitzy (thanks to Stickles) purple & white polka dot sunglasses.

Picture of my son when he was 6 months old. I took him to get "professional" pictures taken as well but in the end liked the ones I've taken at home much better because they reveal his character much more. One of these is my current favorite.

My current favorite is a photo of my son's firetruck parked in the middle of my flower bed. It was taken almost 4 years ago. It touches that tender place in my heart.

My favorite pic right now is of my hubby diving the kiddos to school. I took it on Friday morning because I'm usually the choffer and just had to document that Dad has actually done it too. ;) lol.

My current fave is a photo my son took. I hope this qualifies. I keep my Rebel sitting out so that it can be picked up and used whenever someone takes a fance to catch a great shot. My sons 15yo and 7yo use it all the time.Older one caugh ME on camera in a shot that I love. This is saying something when I used to never appear in any pics and the ones I do have are not good(in my opinion). I love that they are comfortable with my camera.

Thanks, Ali, for this great opportunity.

Toughy... But I guess I will say toys. I was playing with my camera settings last month using my 2.5 yr old's toys as my test shots and then I realized how cool it was to have Brayden's favorite things documented.
Awesome giveaway-thanks! :o)

Right now my favorite photo was a photos I took recently at my daughters 6th birthday party -- she is sitting at a table with her my twin doll sitting next to her -- she is all dolled up in her tea party finery and sipping cherry limeade punch from a china tea cup -- she looks so happy and like she is having so much fun -- I just love it :)

My favorite photo is one of my Mom. She claims she doesn't look "put together", but everyone who sees it comments on how lovely she is. That photo really captured my Mom's caring nature. It's not always about "fixing yourself up" for a photo, it's about what people perceive when they look it.
