Find Your Voice Lesson 2 Layout

Good morning!

Can you believe that I am posting on a Saturday?! I can't!

But I really love this layout that was inspired by the summer story telling workshop Find Your Voice (more information here, here and here!)

Lesson 2 was all about finding out who you are.

And I realized something, when I've got my camera in my hand, I don't let anything stop me. I don't care if people look at me funny while I'm lying down on the sidewalk trying to get a cool shot. I've got my camera with me, so its like my armor.

But, I don't like to share my scrapbooks with people because I'm totally afraid that they will read my journaling! I'm hoping that this workshop will teach me to be as confident in my writing as I am in my photography!

Are you playing along with Find Your Voice? What are you hoping to learn from the workshop?

Find Your Voice Blog Hop

The Find Your Voice Summer Storytelling Workshop kicked off today and to celebrate we're having a blog hop with lots of giveaways! We're going to have a blast this summer and we really hope you play along! 

This workshop is about finding your storytelling voice. You are an awesome person with amazing stories, so this summer we're going to work together to find the most genuine and authentic way for you to tell those stories. 

This workshop is for everyone! You definitely don't need to be a scrapbooker or paper-crafter to play along. We'll be telling stories through pictures, photographs, social media, prose, and more. The only thing you need is a willingness to become the author of your own story and the courage to step outside of your comfort zone.

What Find Your Voice Means to Me:

As a contributor, I am most looking forward to finding and sharing new ways to express my family's stories. Story telling has always been a part of my life. Whether we were relaxing on the beach while my dad regaled us with the same childhood stories again and again or sitting around the dining room table, all clamoring to tell about the best and worst parts of our day, someone in my family was always sharing a story. Now we will all be able to share our stories with each other, and preserve them for years to come!

Join us this summer as we work together to find the most genuine and authentic way for you to tell your stories the way you want them to be told. We’ll be telling stories through pictures, photographs, social media, prose, and more. The only thing you need is a willingness to become the author of your own story and the courage to step outside of your comfort zone.

Find Your Voice Summer Workshop

Yes, its Friday, which is normally my Project Life day.

But, I've got such exciting news that Project Life is being displaced (just for this week! I promise!)

The Find Your Voice workshop is debuting on Monday!

What is Find Your Voice you ask?

Well...as a Find Your Voice team member, I am totally ready to tell you! (Yes - team member! *Cue girly squealing and dancing here!*)

Find Your Voice is about embracing, finding and practicing your storytelling voice. And there are going to be so many ways to participate - photography, digital images, social media, prose, scrapbooking, paper crafting! Seriously, could you have packed any more of my favorites into that list?

The workshop is eight weeks long, including an introduction and a wrap up. Each week, you will get a prompt, a lesson and a worksheet.

There area few ways you can access the lessons and such - you can head over to rukristin.com on Mondays and Wednesdays, or you can sign up to have the lessons delivered to your inbox.

In addition to the lessons, there will be inspiration from the team members, and a really active community on social media, so there will be tons of inspiration and places for you to share!

Personally, I'm going to be sharing my work here on the blog, on twitter (#findyourvoice) and on facebook (you can join the group right here) and in the comments at rukristin.com.

So, I think that's everything you need to know...but if you have any questions, ask me here in the comments or check out the FAQs page.

You can also follow Kristin on twitter, instagram and faebook for breaking Find Your Voice information :)
