The Ties That Bind

The Ties That Bind: Five Ways to Scrapbook Your Most Important Relationships

Taught by Stephanie Howell

Learn to identify and treasure the relationships in your life, both big and small, while creating authentic and meaningful scrapbook layouts in five vital relationship categories. Above all, learn to share a little piece of your heart on every page you make.

Stephanie Howell—a popular blogger, devoted Army wife, and busy mother of four young daughters (including twins)—welcomes you into her inspiring world in The Ties That Bind, her very first online class.

As you connect with Stephanie's stories, you'll discover the importance of sharing pieces of yourself as you honor the people and ideals that have made you who you are. In this class, you'll create the kinds of pages that you and your family will treasure all your lives.

A Note from Stephanie: As I've gotten older and wiser, I've discovered that what I love most about scrapbooking is the chance I have to document the deep connections in my life—the ties that bind. Once I recognized and embraced this, scrapbooking really and truly became a joy to me again. It's not about using certain products or following certain trends. It's about telling my children who I am and what I love most about them, their father, and my friends. It's about sharing my deepest feelings and beliefs, because the relationship I have with myself is important, too.

Join Stephanie in an open and supportive atmosphere where you can learn from her approachable scrapbooking style, her ability to create quick layouts that are full of story, and her willingness to open her heart.
