Many of you have already taken the plunge and took the first launch of my Art Journaling workshop, She Has 3 Hearts. If you haven't though.. my second launch of this same class..starts in ONE week! Next Monday and I can't wait!
The class is a wealth of inpsiration when it comes to Art journaling, color, techniques, texture, doodling.. you name it. Seriously.. the class over 45 videos just overflowing with ideas, inspiration and fun. BUT my favorite part of the class isn't all the fun techniques you learn.. my favorite part is discovering and learning more about myself. About YOURSELF.
The idea of this class is based on an old chineese proverb.. "a women has three hearts, one she shares with the world, one she shares with her family, and one she shares ONLY with herself."
This class is about learning what YOU have to offer.. to the world, your family.. and discovering which hearts are okay to just keep to yourself. I have taught this class before, a few years ago in papercrafting, but doing it again, years later, I learned so much more about myself. My strengths, my weaknesses, my fears, my desires, my priorities. It's crazy because even though I was the one teaching the class, I got more out of it than probably anyone. It was something I REALLY needed in my life right now. So besides all of the fun "art" that we do and learn.. it truly is something that helped change my perspective on life.
Someone asked me.. are these techniques "only" things I can do in art journaling? I said.. Heck no! lol.. All of the techniques and art I teach in this class, can be used on just about ANY surface.. on canvas, on wood, on fabric. Someone else asked me how much cross over there is between the techniques learned in this class and in the She Art Class and I can honestly say.. almost none. This class is seriously jammed packed with technique, how to's, inspirations, color, journaling, doodling, .. it's crazy how much stuff I ended up packing into this class! here is a just a few peeks of what you can expect..
In week one go over how to create color on your pages.. we start with basics like what gesso, journals, brushes and glues to use for art journaling..
In week one we delve into color, color color.. how to create color with Paints, Paper, Watercolor pencils and Crayons, Pan Pastels, Shiva Paintstiks, Paint Dabbers, Pastes, Inks, Stencils, Stamps, Ephemera, Gelotas, Indian Ink.. you name it.. seriously.. 28 videos in week one ALONE.
Plus in week one, I show you how to create your own stencils and stamps, how to do image tranfer with gels and mediums.... PLUS I show you from start to finish several art journaling pages incorporating all of the techniques learned..
AND THOSE are peeks of just a FEW of what you will find in week one.. That doesn't include Week 2 or week 3!!!! here are few peaks of those!!
Week 2: included in this week are techniques on Creative Handwriting & Doodling..
Adding Dimension Hot Glue, Machine and Hand Stitching technique, Embellishments, and more!
Plus creative play with Alcohol Inks, Resist Techniques, Faux Batik, Photo Tinting.. and soo so much more!
IN week 3 we move into even more dimension and more color!
We talk about using Beeswax, UTEE, Wire, wire dipping, Crayons, Clay.. and the list goes on..
Plus show you unique ways to create your own embellishments to put on your pages.. or other mixed media projects!
Seriously.. this is just a small peek of that is included in this class. If you are looking for something to get your creative juices flowing in art journaling.. OR even mixed media.. this is the class! All of these techniques and things you learn can used on just about any art medium! Papercrafting projects, mixed media projects, canvas, wood.. the possibilities are endless.
So if you haven't taken it.. seriously.. join me! I know you won't be disappointed!! Ff you have already taken this class.. I would love to know your comments and feedback here!

This looks like an awesome class jam-packed full of content - are you sure we can work through it in three months, LOL?
I have to ask, I've only encountered this proverb once before (well, before you ran this class earlier this year), and it was in connection with a class of the same name offered as part of the old online Scrap-a-faire that Scrapbooks etc. ran. Sadly in a computer crash I lost my class materials - but it's making me crazy to know if that was your class as well.
Thanks for offering a seat to one lucky winner!

This class was really an eye opener for me, I learned so many new techniques and now I see possibilities where I never did before. I was intimated by creating "art" but now I know there are no "mistakes" in creativity.
The beauty of the class is that you can pick and choose what techniques you want to try and which products you need to invest in. I found all of your product suggestions very helpful and liked that I use things I have or things I can get in the grocery store or dollar store!
I had never delved into art journaling before but now I am totally hooked! Thank you for inspiring me!

I absolutely loved this class, as well as Christy's She Art Workshop..
She is so very inspirational and the videos are absolutely fabulous.
What a sweetie pie girl and she is so fun to watch...she has and continues to be my total inspiration, on many levels, in not only my art, but my life...
You are the bomb girl!!!
Love ya...

I'm WAY behind in the May workshop, but loving every inspirational moment! It's making me really think about love, and how I love, and what part of me I share...what part of me I cherish...and what part of me I need to nurture more. You are a dear, Christy!

Your 'teasers' are SO exciting. My $$$ was sent and I'm gathering my 'stuff' as we speak. Look at all the great ideas you are going to share. WOW.....I'm SO ready to play with you and the other girls who have signed up. Won't it be fun to see what we all end up with in the end?
Looking forward to the 25th!
Hugs
Jan

I enjoyed so much and have learned so much in this course ... the three weeks I took short, very short.
Christy, you have been an inspiration to me and I have opened my eyes to new ways of working with my hands, with different materials to make mistakes and not be ashamed ... you're amazing!
Kisses from Barcelona (Spain)
Petonets xoxo
p.d.: She Had Three Hearts, i love it!

Looks like another awesome class
Posted by: Carol Miller | July 18, 2011 at 01:56 PM
That is a lot of "class"! Being unemployed, I can't afford to sign up for the class myself~ but I'll tell friends!
Posted by: Erin Glee | July 18, 2011 at 02:02 PM
I am loving the "She had Three Hearts" from May. You gave us sooo... much information and inspriation. I've have taken pages and pages of notes plus I can keep going back and watching the viedos! So worth the money and time. Would recommend it!
Posted by: Brenda Jensen | July 18, 2011 at 02:07 PM
I'd love to take this class...I took Elsie F's art journaling class 2 summers ago and loved it...her's were heavy on prompts and lighter on techniques so I think I'd love this class. The comments from the May students are all great and it sounds like there is much to be learned from you....off to convince hubby I NEED THIS CLASS!! Any suggestions on how to pry his wallet open is much appreciated!

That does look like an awesome class. I just picked up my first art journal last week while in NY. Now I just have to get back to making thing happen in it.
Posted by: Joyce | July 18, 2011 at 02:40 PM
The sheer number of techniques taught in this course is WELL worth the few dollars Christy is charging! The videos are very educational and really got me excited about art journaling and mixed media work in general. For anyone who has taken any of Christy's classes, her comfort in front of (or underneath) the camera is still apparent. If you are a first timer, you will feel welcomed and at ease with Christy as your instructor. I highly recommend this class if you are looking for different ways to express yourself outside of the traditional journal or are looking for new triggers to get your creative juices flowing!

Already signed up!!! Can't wait for it to start...The She-Art class was so awesome, I'm sure this one won't disapoint!! So Excited!!

The 3 Hearts class is my 1st class w/ Christy & I love it! The theme was absolutely perfect for me & I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how much she truly shares in it...including her own heart...she's an inspiring woman in so many ways. Many blessings! ~H♥~
Posted by: Heather Williams | July 18, 2011 at 03:30 PM
This class was soooo much fun and not only explained and demonstrated product use but also taught us how to be creative and resourceful and make incredibly fun tools. Thank you, Christy... your artistic approach to creativity is definitely inspiring!
Posted by: Barbara Steele | July 18, 2011 at 03:32 PM
Christy's classes are the absolute best online classes I have taken. I took the "She Had Three Hearts" class as well as the "She Art" class. I am a "seasoned" crafter and scrapbooker, but I learned SO many new techniques in these classes. Christy is an excellent and fun teacher. I found myself smiling and giggling right along with Christy. I highly recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn and have fun at the same time!

Posted by: Renee G | July 18, 2011 at 04:03 PM
Oh it looks so wonderful, I will have to wait and hope that your run it again though. Finances do not permit this month.
I am hoping to take your colour class though.
Posted by: Bec Clarke | July 18, 2011 at 04:09 PM
Hopefully you will offer this class again next summer:) School starts in just three weeks, and I definitely don't have time during the school year to play with my art (I'm a 4th grade teacher!) Loved the SheArt class although I still haven't quite worked my way through it! You are an awesome teacher, enthusiastic and funny and genuine!
Posted by: Laurie | July 18, 2011 at 04:21 PM
Wow, what a workshop, keep going back and forward from week 1 to week 3. So much to learn and create. Thanks so much Christie for all your heart felt teaching and inspiration.

This class looks amazing! I just took your She Art workshop and LOVED it! I can't stop making little She Art girls (and a boy!)!! Thank you for offering such wonderful, creative and inspiring classes online!!!
Posted by: Kelly | July 18, 2011 at 04:39 PM
Oh everyone needs to take this class. I do believe beginner, which I am , or experienced. It is jammed packed with so many techniques. You will love it. I am so glad Christy keeps it on for 3 months, because I am trying my best to do all what she is saying and teaching. I have even started a book just with all of her tecniques. Thanks Christy.
Posted by: Annette Graves | July 18, 2011 at 04:41 PM
I am already registered for the class and I can't wait for it to begin. Reading all about it today has me even more excited! Looking forward to joining the others who will be taking the class.
