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 is one that I took of my daughter last week - we finally got a chance to go outside and enjoy the weather - now that she's walking it's so much fun taking pictures of her movements - my scrapbooks will now be taking new form with more than just photos of her sitting or standing! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

My favorite photo right now is one that is crazy blurry and all out of focus, but the CUTEST thing! I was taking a picture of my 4 year old daughter and she came running towards me with this huge smile on her face. All you can see in the picture is her entire face, but it's adorable. ;)
Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite photo is of my son and me, taken from behind, looking over the edge of the boat that took us out on a snorkeling trip. I was reminded of this photo by your photo of Anna (being busy). I love photos like this!

my fav at this moment is one I took last night. my daughter is 9 today & had her girlfriends spend the night... There was much laughter and many smiles and as I was taking this photo I also snapped a mental picture too-I want to remember her just at that moment-mouth open wide in laughter-eyes bright-having the time of her life surrounded by friends who love her. It was a fun night.... Until they woke me up at 12:30 and 1:30 and again after 2! :-)

I had my camera with me this Christmas when we stopped at teh tree place to pick up some greenery for the mantle. (We have a fake tree.) My 2 y/o son was running around, there was snow on the ground, and he had on his black winter hat (which really makes him look like Dopey from the Seven Dwarfs. Really, why did the youngest one with no beard have to be named Dopey?) It's a close-up shot of him taken from a high angle, a little off to the side. There is a strong shadow on his face since it was noon, but I love the look in his eyes, seeing the black of his hat framing his face, and he bright creamy skin from the reflection of the snow. I have an 8x10 print of it in my living room. Love it. I have a similar precious close-up of my daughter in the same room, so both my kids greet me constantly.

My current favorite photo is of my teenage daughter in a moment of playfulness trying to raise each of her eyebrows individually. Usually very appearance conscious, she let the inner kid out to play. Even better, she lets me display the photo!

My fav photo so far, is one of all four of us at the lake. I think we'll make that picture an annual event...That would make a great set of pages.

My favorite photo of this moment is a picture of my son. We we're playing in the snow and need to go home because it was too cold (and he's only 1 year old) He was very angry.... I made a picture of him and you see a little boy with a scarf and a hat and very angry look on his face in the snow. Just love it because he 's always happy!

My favorite photo right now is one of my son and daughter. She is playing with a big daisy ring, he is holding a beaded bracelet, but looking at his "big sister" and her ring in awe. Such innocent sweet faces with the sunlight catching them just right. *sigh* My babies are growing up too fast!

Oh that is easy! On our first Spring-like day here in NC I sent the kids out with a new bubble making machine and let them go wild! I got a beautiful picture of my oldest daughter running through the bubbles, arms outstretched, smiling gleefully as if she didn't have a care in the world! It is perfect.. especially given her somewhat troubled personality these days!

my current, fav photo is one just printed off and framed on my desk. originally, it was framed for the fact that my three little boys were at the front door in absolute joy of the first snow fall this year. then, upon further gazing i realized....this would be the last photo of three boys in footed pyjamas....they're getting so big. sigh.
thanks for the great giveaway!

My favorite photo right now is one that is about 41 years old. It's one that my mom took of my dad and I at Christmas. I am sitting on his lap in my new Christmas dress. He is actually looking at the camera (he is camera shy) and we are both smiling. Love it!

My favorite photo is one I took of my children from behind as they were holding hands while walking down a paved path in the woods. The sun was shining through the trees highlighting them perfectly.

My current favorite photo is of my son's feet while he's sitting on his potty chair. I love how it shows the transition he's going through...without actually showing it! :)
