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 recent favorite picture was capturing my husband and 7 year old son watching a basketball game on my laptop because we do not get ESPN.

My favourite photo is one I took a while ago now of the children playing with the hose running around the yard and laughing their head off. Wish every day could be like that one.

My latest favorite photo is one of my son (5 yrs old) who has this sparkle in his eyes (which is often a mischievous sparkle) and will every once in a while will let me actually try to capture it. Love that.

My favorite photo right now is one of my baby, mother-in-law and dog. My baby is situu g in his high chair and my mother-in-law is feeding him while my dog is waiting for something to fall on the ground. For me, simple moments like those are the most beautiful and treasured.

My favorite photo right now is one of my daughter taken early last fall. It is her first time as a flower girl and the excitement and wonder of it all was captured so magically!

My current favorite is of my niece who is 3, we were in a restaurant for a nephews b'day celebration and I said Madison look at me and smile, she said "Wait, let me do my hands like this, and proceeds to fold her hands and lean her head over on them" She's had her picture taken a lot so now she poses on cue : )

My boys when they were 2 and six in Fourth of July red, white and blue. Cheeks pink from a day in the sun. It makes me remember they were once soooo sweet!

One of my favorites is my youngest in one of those cozy coupes - he's chewing on the steering wheel and the sun shining on him makes his hair look like a baby orangutan. It always makes me smile and remember those baby years.

My favorite photo right now is a picture I took of my daughter right after she got her hair cut and they put it up in a special hairstyle. My daughter is very fair with blond hair and blue eyes. I left the flash on and the resulting picture was beautiful. The flash washed out her coloring but her bright blue eyes and red lips really pop right out of the page.

My current favorite photo is our family photo. I'm still amazed that my three munchkins are smiling and looking at the camera!

My current favorite photo is one of my son during a wrestling match. But what makes it my favorite is the intensity in my brother-in-law's face while he was coaching my son that I captured in the photo.

I'm currently working with pictures of my son playing cards with his dad and grandparents. The pics aren't perfect, but they will still make a great scrapbook page because of the story they document.

It's of my daughter (11 months old)...she's started smiling for the camera, and has the goofiest cheesy grin on her face. Her hair is up in a Pebbles (from the flinstones) style, and she's holding her favorite toy. She just looks so happy in it.

My current favourite photo is a picture of my 6 year old daughter who had just lost her first tooth. She was beyond excited for the tooth fairy to visit and her toothless grin makes me smile.
