Beyond Chronology:
Make the Connection

If you're a true-blue chronological scrapbooker, it can be downright scary to think about leaving the calendar behind and jumping into the world of scrapbooking "moments." What if you don't like it? What if it doesn't work for you? What if you want to go back to your "old" process - will it be "too late?" Here's the scoop: You don't have to abandon your current process to experience the benefits of non-chronological scrapbooking. Documenting your life beyond the events is a fun, simple, valuable way to add to your current scrapbooking approach - not replace it. In Beyond Chronology:Make the Connection you'll create a special scrapbook album to celebrate the moments, relationships, and even things in your life that transcend a single point in time. This project will not replace, but add to an "annual" album.

Professional writer, instructor and scrapbooker Lain Ehmann brings you this class as a partnership between Simple Scrapbooks and Big Picture Scrapbooking. The author of over 2000 articles, and the gal behind the popular ScrapHappy scrapbooking humor blog, Lain knows how difficult it can be to get out of the calendar rut. She's been scrapbooking for almost a decade and has a shelf full of annual albums to prove it! But now that she's begun focusing on the important elements of her family's life, she worries less about the date stamp on the pictures and concentrates more on their personal significance.

After taking Beyond Chronology, you'll know first-hand how powerful it is to think outside the calendar grid. You'll have a few layouts of your own that highlight the connections between the people, places, and things in your life, and you'll have a special album in which to store them. You'll also have the freedom to scrap the way YOU want to - not the way your Day Planner says you should. Now this is big!

Lain's class includes:

  • Welcome letter from Lain in the classroom
  • Voice message as streaming audio, downloadable MP3 file, and transcript
  • Supply list with live links to product resources
  • Email access to Lain
  • Colorful, step-by-step instructions for creating your own "Connections" album
  • List of assignments for completing twelve "Connections" layouts (one a month for the next 12 months)
  • Private posting gallery to share your finished creations and thoughts with your classmates
  • And more surprises! (Lain loves to delight her classes, and as her past students have come to realize, you never know what she's going to do next!)

Important information about Projects Now at BPS!
Projects Now classes are instant download classes that allow you to participate at BPS anytime! These classes are different from our interactive workshops. There are no starting or ending dates – you may enroll at any time. This flexibility also means, that there will not be the level of teacher and student interaction that we enjoy in our workshops. You will receive handouts to print and an audio file to listen to, but there are typically no galleries, message boards or chats.

Even though these classes offer less interaction, you are not alone! If you need help, email us at admin@bigpicturescrapbooking.com. Enjoy!
