2.01 February Class REVEAL - Lucky Me!

Its finally time for the first official Creative Soup class!

Those of you that have done my classes before will not be too surprised since this will run similar to other mini-album classes. The class is basically a mini-album project. It has two components - the prompts/topic and the format.

The Topic:
This class was inspired by the gratitude blogging a lot of scrappers did back in November. The idea is to create a mini-album full of things you are grateful for or things you just love or appreciate. Its a fun way to spend sometime documenting the positives of your life and tidbits about YOU. There will be ideas to help you make your list posted on the 2nd.

The Format:
I created a super easy and fun format just for this class. Once you get the hang of it, the format is so versatile, you might want to try it for other minis. You can learn more about the format here. The format is OPTIONAL for the class. You can chose to use a store bought mini or other format if you prefer. Details on how to make the format will be posted on the 3rd. The format uses 4x6 horizontal photos so you can start planning now

Schedule for Class:
2.01: Class Reveal, First Sample
2.02: Ideas for your list, worksheet, Second Sample
2.03: How-to on the format, Third Sample
2.04: Fourth Sample

Some more details:

1. For those that have never done an online class like this, the idea is to follow along online, then make your project at home and share your pages as you go. There will also be a chat thread so we can all share ideas and get inspiration from others. Its like a virtual class over the course of the month.
   
2. I have created a list of ideas and questions to help you create your list of things you are grateful for here. And I have included a link to a worksheet to help you keep it all organized!
   
3. There will be a badge & one prize pack for class participants. To qualify for the badge, you must create a mini-album of any format, about this topic specifically for this class. Your book must include a decorated cover plus at least 10 pages/topics, shared here on Creative Soup by February 28th.
   
4. I will draw one random winner from everyone that qualifies for the badge.
   
5. The class includes details on a the format I used, but you are not required to use this format for your book. And you can make as many or as few pages you wish! I am not big on rules... its your book. But to qualify for the badge and prize drawing you need to do 10 pages/topics and cover.
   
6. When you share your book on other sites, I would super appreciate it if you could mention its for my class here on Creative Soup in case others want to come play along

I think you have the right plan.

I love this idea! I started a daily gratitude list in November but didn't finish it so this sounds perfect.

I should actually say, I do not plan on surprising you, but instead I *hope* to surprise you.

I need to get around to getting pictures for this. I have my whole album cut up...just need the photos

I need to get more photos printed too. My photo printer at home doesn't do borderless prints

I admit I am missing like 4 or 5 photos from mine.

I think I want to try this one!!!

@Cindy- Did you have a question

Go ahead give it a shot, it was a blast to do and Bree made is so super easy to play along!!!

scrapness - You really should!
