Big Picture Giveaway

Hello again!
I have the distinct pleasure of reviving this very neglected blog with a super giveaway tonight. If you're new here, welcome! And if you're someone who has visited before, and wondered if I'd dropped off the face of the scrapbook planet, you may be right. ;) In any case, my intention here in the coming months is to share my photography, my layouts, and a bit of project life that I've kind of struggled to keep up with, but enjoy nonetheless. :)

 Onto the awesome giveaway...

The kind folks over at Big Picture have generously offered the chance for one lucky person to win a spot in Tracey Clark's 'Picture Everyday' workshop. If you're interested in taking your DSLR photography to another level and having much fun while doing so, then this class is the ticket. I've taken a few of Tracey's photo classes in the past, and they've been incredible for helping me see ordinary things in a beautiful new light. I'm a fan.

Here's the class description:

Picture EverydayFinding and photographing the magic in your daily life

Your life is full of beauty, authenticity, and moments of magic just waiting to be captured in pictures. All it takes is the right perspective. In Picture Everyday, a new workshop from photographer Tracey Clark, you'll learn to see your world in a sublime new light—and to use your camera to tell the story of what you see.

Through 30 surprisingly powerful photo prompts, dozens of inspiring images and videos, and eight weeks of gentle encouragement, Tracey will help you elevate your everyday—and fill your soul with gratitude along the way. You'll be focusing your lens on topics like Routine, Spaces, Places, Details, Connections, and Affections.

Your final week of class is an exclusive pass to Tracey's upcoming self-paced class, A Photographer's Guide to Project Life. Throughout the week, you'll be inspired to select photos from the past seven weeks to display in a keepsake photo album.

• Bonus 8th week of content, providing early access to Tracey's upcoming self-paced class, A Photographer's Guide to Project Life, and a set of exclusive Project Life cards 
• Weekly bonus prompts for shooting and sharing in real time
