2.17.08 Grateful Papers Part 3

Ok, so this is the last part of the papers portion of "Grateful".  From the looks of the poll and according to the emails and posts it seems as though many of you are interested in some classes! I'm kind of excited! I did talk to dh last night and assured him that I could manage the extra "workload"!  The time consuming part is creating the "lesson plan" and the design elements! I'd like to start with an intro to digi scrapping, but I know that many of you are past that stage, I'll have to figure that one out.  

As for how to "sign" up, what will probably happen is that I will post a time for people to sign up and depending on the size of the class (balance between keeping it small & making it well worth my time) the first people who pay via paypal will be registered until the class fills and I close the "registration" down...

As for those saying that they aren't sure they'll have the time, or that the time difference would be a problem, I say NO PROBLEM!  The class will definitely be a work at your own pace kind of class.  I'll post the instructions and files for one week and will be available for email questions at any time that week.  Then the next week's files will be posted etc.  Not done with week one? no problem!  Just work at your own pace...you guys know I'll be here to answer your questions no matter when you finish! LOL  As for chats, we'll work around that and of course you can post emails and files at ANY time!

More on the classes later...enjoy the papers...the next post will be some elements!!

2.16.08 Grateful - 2nd Set of Papers

I'm so happy that so many of you not only accept the changes that I'm making to my blog, but wholeheartedly embrace them!

Also, I spent some time online last night with a blog reader helping her work through some "template issues"! LOL (Hi Donna!!)  But it made me think, despite my tutorials, there are many of us (myself included) that don't follow written directions as well as seeing pictures, or being able to ask one-on-one questions when you're stuck.  I'd like to say that I'm always available for your questions, but frankly I think I'd be overwhelmed if you all had questions about my tuts!!

So I'm thinking of offering INEXPENSIVE (I'd like to keep classes around 10-15 dollars each), well-put-together classes presented not just as classes, but as projects! So at the end of the class, you wouldn't have just learned things, but you'd have a completed project as well!

The lessons would have to be in photoshop or photoshop elements. But for those who are interested in taking the class but don't have either program, I'd provide a link for a free trial download of either program.

For the class, I would provide all the necessary files (design elements/kits, fonts, step by step tutorials in .pdf format, screenshots etc.) available for download in a password protected area. Each class would have access to a group forum (such as Yahoo) where we can all exchange questions, files, emails and tips for one another.

Here were some of the ideas that I had for classes:

Intro to digi scrapping

Creating and using overlays

Fun with fonts (creating word-art)

Quick Pages & Brag Books (learning to create and share your own as well as completing pre-

   designed projects)

Designing your own elements & papers (that will really tick 'em off won't it! he he he)

etc. etc. etc.

So what do you think?  I think it would be a blast really, I think it would be so much fun for there to be an open forum where you guys could get to know one another and swap layouts etc as well!

So tell me what you think!  If you are serious about wanting to do this please let me know so I can get a good gauge of numbers (I would want to keep classes relatively small so that it's more fun).  If there is serious interest, I'll start planning a class or two together and see what we come up with!

Much aloha!

Shauna
