10 of my favorite creative ecourses

March 13, 2020
creative ecourses

I’ve posted a few similar posts about my favorite creative ecourses over the years, but I figured I’d share an updated list of some of my most favorite classes of all time. This list consists of a mixture of journaling and scrapbooking classes that I’ve personally taken over the years, some of which are no longer available to purchase. But I wanted to share them with you anyway because they are my most favorite creative ecourses I’ve taken ever.

the classes

Summer of Love by Kara Haupt.
I loved this class when I took it the summer of 2013. In fact, it was my very first art journaling class that I ever took. I absolutely love Kara’s take on art journaling. This class is no longer available, but for $22 it was totally worth it. The class is full of art journaling and photography prompts. You even make your own journal from an old hardcover book.

Unravelling: Ways of Seeing Myself by Susannah Conway.
This was the second creative ecourse I’ve ever taken and it’s probably my favorite one to come back to again and again. Susannah’s course is a combination of photography and journaling to look at ones own life and unravel the many layers of the self to get to know and understand yourself better. While she no longer offers this course, Susannah has many other wonderful creative ecourses that all stem from the original ideas she offered in this one.

Tag Mini (Minibook Workshop 2015) by Maggie Holmes.
This was the first scrapbooking class that I ever took. It was one of the minibook workshops from Studio Calico back in 2015. I love Maggie Holmes. When she used to teach scrapbooking courses and actually share her scrapbooks, they were always my favorite! I just love her style and I learned a lot from her taking these classes. This class is currently unavailable for purchase. But keep an eye out on the Studio Calico website. They periodically put their old classes up for sale!

Art Journal Mini (Minibook Workshop 2016) by Caylee Grey.
This is another class from Caylee that I absolutely loved. It was one of the minibook workshops from Studio Calico back in 2016. She shows you how to make a simple pamphlet stitched journal and different ways you can fill it in. This class combines art journaling with scrapbooking, so it’s the perfect blend of artsy memory keeping. This class is currently unavailable for purchase. But keep an eye out on the Studio Calico website. They periodically put their old classes up for sale!

Happy Little Moments by Maggie Holmes.
Another Maggie Holmes class that I absolutely loved! This is an altered book scrapbooking class. In it Maggie shows how she alters an old hardcover book into a scrapbook. She incorporates a lot of her personal style into this course, which I love. This class originally ran on Studio Calico, where it’s currently unavailable for purchase. But you can find it on Big Picture Classes now; you just need an active subscription ($9.95 a month) or you can try out their two-week free trial. But keep an eye out on the Studio Calico website. They periodically put their old classes up for sale!

Paint. Plan. Play by Ashley Goldberg.
This is another class I took at Studio Calico. Pattern and mark maker extraordinaire, Ashley Goldberg teaches you how to create and keep a fun art journal in your planner. This class is definitely geared to scrapbookers (as are all Studio Calico classes are), but I learned a lot about how Ashley creates her fun patterns and the inspiration from her guest teachers are fantastic. This class is currently unavailable for purchase. But keep an eye out on the Studio Calico website. They periodically put their old classes up for sale!

The Minimalist Art Journal by Caylee Grey.
This class is absolutely amazing. And I’m not being biased here because I guest teach a lesson in it. I recently went through and did the entire class, and it’s truly wonderful. I made one of my favorite art journals from this class. Caylee’s lessons are so simple and easy, and all of the guest teachers are just great. The class is available to purchase for $55 and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny.

One Magical Mini by Andrea Bethke.
I was initially drawn to this class after watching Andrea’s Disney Days mini album videos on her Youtube channel. In this course, she shows you how she goes about putting together a Disney scrapbook. I got a lot of inspiration for my own Disney albums from this class. You can find this course on Big Picture Classes. You just need an active ($9.95 a month) or you can try out their two-week free trial.

The Minimalist Art Journal 2.0 by Caylee Grey.
The long awaited sequel to the first MAJ, 2.0 take minimalist art journaling to a whole new level. I haven’t actually finished the course, since it’s so new and I’m just beginning it, but from what I know of Caylee’s teaching and the awesome list of guest teachers, it’s going to be amazing! This is the most expensive class in this list at a hefty $75, but I’m sure it’s all worth it. If you’re keen on taking both Minimalist Art Journal classes, be sure to check out the course bundle option, where you can purchase both classes for $95.

Artist in Bloom Journal by Nazy from Amity Bloom.
This is the only junk journal course on this list, but it’s one of my favorite creative ecourses! I love everything Nazy creates and these little Artist in Bloom journals are just darling! In this course, she goes step by step and teaches you how to make your own Artist in Bloom journal. It’s just a fun thorough class. For only $60, I highly recommend it!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
