Big Picture Classes: Picture the Holidays + Info on the Sheet Protectors I'm Using

I just signed up for a class through Big Picture Classes.

I have not taken a class at BPC since Library of Memories which was, in case you were wondering, an epic fail. I took that class 3, maybe 4 years ago and while I loved, loved, loved Stacy's philosophy and listening to her process (and pretty much anything Stacy does), I suck at it.

There I said it.

I am sure I would benefit greatly from organizing my photos better, but, I must not be ready to tackle that monster yet.

Anyway, back to Picture the Holidays.

I decided that this holiday season I would like additional help and inspiration for getting meaningful and interesting holiday photos every day. 

That's where the Picture the Holidays class comes in.

I love this quote from the class description:

"Seasonal photo prompts delivered to your inbox each morning will not only inspire your inner photographer but will encourage you to take a few moments to yourself each day to get creatively centered, one photo at a time."

I am extremely excited to start this inspiring class on December 1st. I will be stalking my inbox for the prompts, I'm sure!

I think it will be the perfect companion to December Daily. 

If you are interested in the class and are a reader of Ali Edwards blog/December Daily Project you can get 10% off the price of the class by using the coupon code: decdaily. Please note that the coupon code is only good for Picture the Holidays class.

DECEMBER DAILY SHEET PROTECTORS

I have received a ton of questions regarding the sheet protectors I am using in my December Daily Album.

I wanted to address those questions here to help better explain what I am using.

These are the sheet protectors:

They are the Parisian Anthology Portfolio Album Refill Pages.

They come in four sizes:

• 2x3 sheet protector (9 pockets per page)
• 5x7 sheet protector
• 8.5x11 sheet protector
• 5x5 + 2x5 sheet protector (the 2x5 sections fold in and tie closed)

Here's a little video on how I will be using my sheet protectors:

   

Hope that helps clear up what the sheet protectors look like and how they can be used.

Off to finish up a few things this afternoon and get ready for Dexter tonight.

How are they going to wrap this season up?

Every year I wonder how the writers are able to out-do the previous season.

WOW is all I can say.

Fabulously written (and acted) show.

New Technique Tuesday project share tomorrow. See you then!

Thanks for sharing the video and how you plan to use the sheet protectors! I had no idea that the Pink Paislee album had those sheet protectors in it - I love that idea!

I just signed up for Picture the Holiday class also. Thank you so much for telling me about it. I have been looking for an online photography class and this is perfect and the price is right. Eventually I need to take a class so I can get guidance on how to properly use my SLR camera... But that is another day.... LOL!

Ok Nichol I have a question to ask--would you be totally offended if I copy your album??? I LOVE the idea of having all the little pockets and the patterned papers all pre-cut out. I've been TOTALLY stressing about getting this album ready in time (I realise there's not much left lol) and this would be perfect.

The idea of having layouts in the album?! GENIUS!!!

Now all i have to do is find some Christmas paper that works for Australia too (given that we're in Summer!)

Thanks so much for sharing, You're the best!!

Hi Nichol!!
This is such a fun album. The end result will be stunning. I did something similar to this a few years back and it does help with the stress levels, ha!
As soon as I finish all 500 million things I have planned out I am going to try to do another one of these.
Thanks for another great video!!!
Hugs,
Dayami

OK I am even MORE excited now last night (before seeing this video) I went to 2peas and put my order w/this pack in my album is small so I wouldn't be able to use the 8 1/2 x11 but still ordered it because I said w/the pictures you had posted hmm they look smaller and just went for it BUT now I see I will be able to use the other sizes! I CAN NOT WAIT! :) SQUEAL.. thanks you so much for this video and sharing your beautiful D.D.

[Nicole Mantooth]

Looks great Nichol. I can't wait to see all your pages complete.
Ever since I saw the first year you did I have been inspired to do an album in like this... but have yet to do it. I find December to busy, but I love the idea of all the preplanning. Great idea. I just might actually get to it next year then lol.
