Summer of Sketches | 2021

Getting crafty and documenting your favorite memories is easier than you think! Join Kelly Noel and Lisa Truesdell, as well as their team of talented contributors, for a Traveler's-Notebook-style revamp of our popular Summer of Sketches class. Join in this summer-long session of “round robin” sketch inspiration and gain tons of new ideas to make memory keeping in your notebook fun and easy! From June through August, each week will bring you new lessons bursting with fresh sketches that provide the inspiration you need to pull out your kits and fill up your notebooks. For 12 weeks starting June 7th, students will have access to a new video and notebook layout from one of the instructors, two additional layouts from contributors, and four all-new sketches. That's a total of 48 sketches designed to help you maximize the small space available in your TN and get more photos and memories onto the page! By the end of class, you’ll have access to a treasure trove of inspiration, ready for any time you need a little creative boost!


Please note: This class originally ran in August of 2021. By enrolling now, you'll have access to all of the class material immediately and will be able to access the class message board to view previous comments. However, the message board and gallery will not be monitored by an instructor.

  • Round robin inspiration: See how each sketch changes as it passes from one memory keeper to another! We'll start each week's lesson with a sketch based on one teacher's work, then each contributor will work from a sketch of the project created by the person before them.

  • 48 sketches - 12 sketches based on the teachers' past work, plus 36 more based on the class projects
