I am pleased to declare Hat Week officially open!
From now until Saturday 27th, we are focusing on HATS!! Whether you have heritage photos with relatives displaying extravagant masterpieces on their heads, or whether you grab your own baseball cap and snap a shot, let's have some fun with hats!!! Decide on your photo(s), then scrap a layout, upload it and post it in the Hat Week thread! Simple!
Click here.
There are some additional challenges as well, should you wish to accept them:
1. Change your avatar to fit this week's theme. Let's see YOU in that favorite hat!
2. Share quotes and poems about hats in this thread. Go ahead - show us what you can find!
3. Enable us with kits!
I hope this will be a really fun week, and we can get to see each other in ways we never have before! Spread the news to your friends as well - I love the thought of people around the world all dressing up in their hats and taking photos! Or making layouts with vintage photos that remind us how fashion used to look - how did hats compare from one side of the world to the other? And for those who don't wear or own any hats...I've heard a good improvisation can be achieved with a tea towel!!
Oh, and there's a free download too.

NOVEMBER CLASSES
Registration open! (Only $5.50 per month! -- we just want you to scrap and learn). You can enrol in the classes through November 7.
You can register in this thread.
First, however, you will need to be a subscriber. A "subscriber" has access to the "Subscriber Area" of the forum and upon payment of $5.50 per month, can access all of the classes and downloads immediately.
You can work through the videos on your own at any time, but to have us follow your progress, encourage you, and mark credits you must register for the class.

Once enrolled, you will receive an email on or about the first of August with details about the class. Classes begin the first of each month. Enrollment is open through the 7th of each month.
The designer lessons are open! However, it has changed somewhat, so please review the Designer Guide. The cost is separate from the Subscriber Area. In addition, I have discontinued (except for a few remaining from previously) the crediting of these lessons for a forum icon. You may view the Designer Lessons at any time and do them self-paced. You may choose to post and share in the threads or just lurk.
The Designer Mentoring, when opened, will require participation and be more structured.
