Get Organized and Be Inspired
Our year kicks off with the brilliance of Wendy Smedley. Wendy is the creative editor at Simple Scrapbooks magazine and co-author of the just-released Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker. Wendy will teach from her book and interact with you to determine why and how you scrapbook and how you can set up your space to reflect your personal approach. In addition to the step-by-step guidance you will get from Wendy, the value of this unique workshop rests in the global community that will share and work together. Just think: three months of long winter nights to really explore what you do and how you can do it in a more inspired way! Learn more about Wendy on her blog and at simplescrapbooksmag.com.

Stacy Julian says there are many who make this hobby too hard. She joins us for the third quarter in a workshop that campaigns to "Bring back the FUN!" July, August, and September will be filled with unforgettable adventure designed to drench your scrapbooking in refreshing summer FUN. You'll soak up ideas and inspiration that will challenge you to explore new approaches and discover the productivity you crave.
