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 favorite photo this week is of my son. He turned 17 yesterday. This picture shows he is no longer a boy but a young man. I just used this picture in a layout titled "You Amaze Me!". This picture melts my heart! (Thanks for the chance to win one of these giveaways. I have been looking for a camera bag. I may have found one! Thanks for sharing such neat things!)

Spring arrived early for us in Vancouver, WA, so my family and I headed out about 2 weeks ago to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. My husband took such beautiful shots of the pink flowers that it's currently my favorite picture! I love looking at the picture and seeing spring coming to life right before my eyes!

I have lots, but my current favorite photo(s) are some we took earier in the week. The kids and I were surprised to see the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile outside our local Albertsons. We hopped out and took some spur of the moment pics in front of and inside the giant hot dog. Too fun!

Thanks to the your sponsors for the giveaways. I would love to win any of them. One of my favorite photos is one of my son looking straight at me through the face mask of his football helmet. It so captures him and his love for sports. I will cherish that one forever.
xoxo, Christine

My favourite picture is of a band I photographed last week, They are sitting in front of a window, It's raining outside, and the light coming in is just amazing! Although you can't really see their expressions, their faces are somewhat visible. It's not a real silhouette, but that's kinda what i was looking for, it turned out just perfect. It's used for commercializing the band right now, so I'm not the only one who likes it!!
It's soft brown (light sepia) with whites and blacks.

My favorite photo is one of my daughter that was taken by her friend on a camping trip. She is sitting on a rock and is surrounded by trees. She looks like she is on top of the world.

my fav photo is one taken at our wedding during the toasts - don't remember what was said, but it was funny - the reactions caught were a still image of our opposite personalities - I was leaned back, laughing hysterically with cosmo in hand, my husband stood tall with his head slightly bowed wish a quiet laughter-classic us

I recently purchased a wrapped canvas to set in our dining room. It is a picture of my three girls laughing and hugging that was taken last summer. It once again is my favorite.

My current favorite photo is the one of my son, Thomas, and my Dad (also Thomas) doing some 'man things' in the garage at my Dad's house. I love to watch their relationship grow (it is so different than with the girlies).

My current favorite photo is of my 19 month old son going down the slide at the park. His face is tilted slightly down and away. He's giggling with sheer joy. This pic is my current wallpaper on my work computer. When things are rough at work I just look at the pic and it all melts away. Thanks for the opportunity to share. I'm totally drooling over that camera bag.

My current favorite photo is of my 6 month old taking his first bite of pureed peas. It captures the sparkle in his big brown eyes that people always comment on and the expression of uncertainty about his first taste of peas!
