Teaching people makes me happy.
I think teaching is my art.
During the years I was editor of Simple Scrapbooks magazine, I become acquainted with the common needs and desires of women through the stories they shared on thousands of scrapbook pages.
In 2005 I founded Big Picture Classes as a way to stay home and teach. What I didn
Photography has risen to state of the art in the past years, but your documenting of those photos still adds a special dimension. Count me in.
There’s nothing like looking back…..
Stacy is such an inspiration…and has been for a long time! I’m glad she shares her passion with others!
Stacy is such an inspiring teacher – I’d love to take her Iscrap class, thanks for the chance.

I have always admired Stacy, but never had the opportunity to attend her class. Thanks for the chance.
Big Picture is a great site with lots of variety of classes…. lite, in and out classes, to in-depth classes that are given over several weeks, and taught by instructors with many different styles.
i have loved creating memories all my life. Taking this class and learning about selection and especially journaling would be fabulous!
This would be such fun! Winter has me feeling like a slug, and feel like I need a push to get started.

I love the statement “I crave yellow”. So do I! I just never thought of it a s a craving but that is exactly what it is! Stacy has helped me realize that I don’t have to hide my love of color just because others don’t like it. It’s okay to wear bright yellow or lime green or to paint my desk turquoise. Thanks Stacy!
I enjoy following Stacy’s blog and taking her classes at BBC. I cannot wait to see her new work space when it is completed.
Thanks for the opportunity to win and the glimpse into her everyday life and creativity.

Stacy is always such a wonderful source of inspiration. BPC offers great classes. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in her new class.
Stacy Julian totally changed my approach to scrapbooking after I read her book Big Picture Scrapbooking. She is such an inspiration!
I agree with Stacy. BPC has changed the way I craft, look at life, view photos, live in the present with my family and connect and learn from people all over the world. Go Stacy!
What an inspirational post – I completely agree about the way in which we honour our past when we scrapbook :-)
This comes from a total novice though!

I just love your site!!! I don’t scrap but I loveeee color too and I love the creativity used in scrapping!! I almost didn’t venture to your website but am so glad I did!! What blessed me the most, and i hardly got started in your site, was your comment at Christmas about taking closeup pics of a scene, with different perspectives. That was brilliant!! Just looking at your nativity from different perspectives was so amazing- it really challenged you to reflect! Thank you for Inspiring me and sharing your gift with us!
I loved simple scrapbooks magazine and was sad to see it go. I have been a scrapbooker since being a teenager! Love Stacy and her blog
