What makes good journaling? You! Journaling doesn’t need to be stressful or intimidating. You know the inside family jokes, your friends’ precious traits and the tricks your pet performs, so the hard part is done. Capturing these stories is valuable and should be fun. This class will demonstrate easy ways to use descriptive words rather than general phrases. It will showcase simple and effective techniques like top ten lists. Not only that, you will learn to treasure your handwriting. Really. Come and see how. You’ll leave feeling energized with ideas to apply to your layouts immediately.
Leave class with: A journaling notebook.
Skill level: All Levels
Supplies: pen and paper to take notes.
