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.

My current favorite photos is actually 3 photos. I took pictures of my kids at Shedd's Aquarium in Chicago recently. They were leaning against the glass and you can completely see their reflection in the glass. Very cool pictures!

I've been converting some favorite photos to black and white and printing them lately, so I've been looking at a lot of favorite family photos lately. I think my favorites show a relationship between my children or my husband and I. Too hard for me to narrow it down to a *very* favorite one right now! Thanks for another great give-away!

On March 25th my husband and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, so lately my favorite photos are from our wedding. There's one from before the ceremony (we saw each other) that's just the two of us, not posed; my husband is smiling and I'm laughing at something, and it just captures the HAPPINESS of the day.

My favorite photo is of my 8 year old son and my 2 year old nephew looking down at each other and laughing at Disney World. One of my favorite memories of our trip!

My current favorite is a close up of my son Jack who had just gotten his braces off. His smile is so beautiful!

My favorite photo is one where my son is grabbing my hair. He did that for years and I complained, but now he does not do it anymore and I miss it.

One of my favorite photo is a family photo that was taken about 7 years ago. We are all posed outdoors, in our nice clothes. You know, those typical family photo that everyone has? But in this one no one is facing the camera and smiling; we are all in hysterics at something my sister had just said. It captures perfectly the nature and relationship of my family. We are always LAUGHING our heads off when we get together. I absolutely love it.

my favorite photo is one that I've taken recently of my furry friend (my cat, Runyan). He was laying on my guest bed with his legs crossed like a lady... after he noticed I was clicking away, he stretched out onto his back, and continued to sleep with his legs stretched out! What a strange cat I have!

My favorite picture right now is of my husband reading to two of our nieces when he was home last week. They are 2 and 3 and have LOTS of energy. But when Uncle V is home, they are content to curl up and listen to him read.

My favorite photo today is of the whole family in Mexico taken last week - everyone is smiling and looking at the camera - no small feat with 4 kids:) but then I looked at little closer and realized my 7 year old had made his "alien face" and it just cracked me up!! thanks for these great giveaways!

great give-aways! My favorite photo is one I took sailing, where the sun shines through behind the sail of another boat. It looks like it's shining from within.

My current favorite photo (I think it changes weekly) is one I came across yesterday while scrapbooking. I'm helping install some flooring (and teaching others to do it in the process) in houses on the Gulf Coast that were hit by Katrina.

My current favorite photo is one of me with my 3yr old daughter and 6 mos old son on the day we cut down our Christmas tree.

My current favorite photo is a picture of the chimneys in a row in my neighborhood. My brother pointed out it out to me and I snapped the picture. A few weeks later he died suddenly. But looking at that picture I always think of his knack for notice things that everyone one else missed.

My current favorite photo is of my 8y.o.(2nd gr) daughter practicing her cursive writing. She has been "practicing" for 3 yrs so she could be just like her big brother. I can't tell you how excited she was to FINALLY get to learn it "for real". :) She is so determined in the photo. Thanks for the awesome give-a-way! Janel

My favorite pictures are flower photos from our garden (last year). They remind me of spring and I wish it will come soon...

My current fave photo is of my youngest boy growling at the camera while pretending to be a bear. It fits him so perfectly because he loves pretending.

My current favorite photo is one that is a bit blurry and the lighting is a bit off, but when I was taking it, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't keep still. It is of our daughter walking through the international customs gate when she arrived home after being gone from the US for 26 months. I could hardly contain myself, and the look on her face is one I will never forget!

Great giveaways! The first photo that comes to mind as one of my favorites is one I took just after I finished giving my 3-month-old his bath. He was so happy and content laying on the changing table.

My new fave was taken in Long Island last week when we were visiting our daughter and her family. Grampa was holding Samuel and Melinda and Tyler (his parents) each had a camera and were busy capturing the two of them. My picture recorded all 4 of them and it evokes so much love, it just makes me smile.

My daughter just went on a trip to science camp - her first trip away from home for longer than one night - and there is a picture of her headed out to snorkel. This was a very brave step for her, and I'm so proud of her.

My current favourite photo has been a favourite for some time, because it reminds me of one of my favourite travels! The photo shows my husband and myself in the middle of a group of Japanese school girls, als making the peace sign!
