Red Letter Days | The Scrapbooker's Almanac Companion Class

During medieval times, special holy days on the church calendar were customarily marked in red to distinguish them from other more ordinary days throughout the year. Today, the phrase "red letter day" refers to any date that holds special importance in a person's life-and when you begin to look for your own red letter days, you'll open the door to endless and unique inspiration for your scrapbooks.

Author and Simple Scrapbooks contributing editor Elizabeth Dillow understands the magic of red letter days: her book The Scrapbooker's Almanac is brimming with historical events, modern observances, and unconventional connections to life that turn ordinary days into extraordinary and meaningful material for pages and projects. Her approach to scrapbooking emphasizes seeking inspiration in surprising places, and will have you discovering stories that simply must be told as you mark the endless stream of dentist appointments, meetings, and other obligations that fill your calendar each month.

At the completion of Elizabeth's class, you will enjoy a new perspective and refreshing approach to pulling genuinely creative scrapbook pages directly from the tidy squares of your trusty calendar. We hope you'll join us as we kick off 2009 by noting our Red Letter Days on our new calendars!
