Recently I was approached by the delightful Tam Laporte to teach a section in her next “Life Book 2014” online class, where she has gathered 22 other artists to partner in a year-long art journaling/mixed-media journey! And the best news? I am the first teacher out of the box besides Tam herself… my lesson will go live in the beginning of January 2014!
Well, the BEST news really is that I’m able to GIVE AWAY a class spot right here, right now. Leave a comment below telling me why you would like to take this online class, and I’ll pick a winner randomly on Friday, September 27th.
THANK YOU, everyone! The winner was Denise Smart, picked randomly via random.org. Denise — I will email you directly. Thanks again, everyone!

Well, clearly I would like to do this because you are teaching!
This would be an awesome way to start out the new year! Especially after the year of the giraffe end – so much fun to be had!
Oh my goodness! What an opportunity to be able to take that class! I love to create and express my feelings and emotions and experiences into works of art for not only myself, but also for others, to enjoy and appreciate. Not only that, but my only child is my sweet (almost) 7 year old son, and to document a year of this sweet age would be wonderful in this format. I thank you ever so much for this amazing opportunity! FINGERS CROSSED!!! 🙂
Oooh. Sounds wonderful!
I would so like to win — I find it so incredible and growing to learn from other artists. I love to experiment with new techniques and tools. This sounds like a blast and would benefit me professionally and personally.
I would love to take this class because I like the idea of a class that engages me for an entire year so I can explore art in depth and receive continual inspiration! I’ve heard great things about Life Book but I’ve never been able to afford it…maybe I’ll get lucky!
My very first blog hop…how great to start with one of my very favorite teachers!! Looking forward to being in the running for Tam’s wonderful course…I did Life Book 2013 but can’t budget it for ’14 so this would be a wonderful opportunity for me to continue learning how to unleash my artistic tiger :)!
Yes, great. Love to see your lesson. And I dont have to wait long because it comes so early in the year. Doing lifebook 2013 now and just loving.
Oh my, this looks fantastic – and I’d LOVE to win a spot! Thanks so much for this opportunity, Carla!
I’ve been lucky enough to attend the last 2 life book classes and would love to do 2014. Having you as one of the teachers is an added bonus.
Hi!!
This is so exciting!!
I would love to participate in this contest for a class spot. This is an opportunity to meet all these new techniques and artists, to develop our creative side in such different mediums and techniques. Yes please!! It looks so much fun!
Here you have the post I wrote when I did Faces 101 with Carla. I really enjoyed so much. http://namaluc.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/caras101-el-arte-de-la-tonteria-faces101-the-art-of-silliness/
Good luck!
🙂
I’d love to win this course because you are teaching one of the classes! It must be good!
I would love to win and be inspired!
i would love a chance to take a year to explore art and life, what a great opportunity!
That fact that you are teaching is reason enough to want to take the class! But the list of other teachers is stellar and I love the concept.
I cannot tell you how much I could use this! It sounds so great and my soul needs something just like this these days.
I would love to win a spot and continue the journey i have started in LB2013. Thanks for the chance to win Carla!
Racking my brains to think of a clever and witty response – the only one I have is that I just would really like to take the class. Thank you for the chance to win a place.
It would be great to have such an awesome group of teachers to inspire me to be creative every day of my life instead of just really occaisionally throught the entire year.
I have been enviously reading posts by others who have attended previous lifebook sessions. I want to be part of that group and grow as a person!
I would really love to participate on this longlasting class and getting lessons from so many different inspiring artists. Sounds like a great adventure into creativity where the outcame is not know today. Thank you for the great give awa
This looks awesome! Could be a life changing experience and if not, just plain fun!
I’m interested. Hope I am not doing this twice. Have problems logging in.
Wow. A list of amazing teachers I already know and, even better, a whole bunch I don’t know. Pick me!!
Sounds like something I could really use right now!! This looks fantastic.
I’d love to participate in this awesome and life-inspiring class!
The teaching lineup for 2014 is amazing! I can not wait to learn more, open up and try new thing and get more insight into different art techniques. Thank you for the chance to enter 🙂
I would adore an entire year of being inspired and searching my soul.
I would love to win!
As an artist that is just starting out in mixed media this would get me the techniques and discipline to be a student.
I would love a chance to win a spot in life book 2014 🙂
This could be an amazing transformative experience. I also look forward to hearing more about your year long class coming up.
I would love to win a chance to win this course because I going through a life changing process of being retired and can finally devote the time I want to my art. What direction do I want to take with my art? Good question! I think this would be just the thing I need. 🙂
I have never heard of these Life Book classes before. Have I been sleeping under a craggly old rock?! I would to see what it’s all about. Enjoy your blog and your books. Thanks for offering up a free class, so generous of you!
Would LOVE to see what it’s all about (hate when I find a typo in my own writing!)
Oooh, look how many lovelies have found you.
Thank you for your kindness –
Enjoy your vacation – I hope you have many inspirational surprises – and plenty of sweet restful moments.
I’d like to be considered for a spot in Lifebook 2014 – But, I see you offer plenty other possibilities – so, I’m already wealthy.
Wow, would I like to part in this art extravaganza.
This is so interesting and it would be so great to fill in some areas I looking for from my working with the Silly Drawings. I know I can enhance them and gain more knowledge with additional teachers and their fresh points of view on art.
I would love to win a spot in the LIfebook 2014 class. I took the Lifebook 2012 and i looked forward to each month’s lessons. It was a nice diversion from all the stress of everyday life and the support and encouragement of everyone is fantastic. Last year I couldn’t take it because life had got me down, but I’m looking forward to a better 2014.
why would I like to win a spot in this class?
the fact that I live so so so far away (in Israel) prevents me from attending actual classes, so I resort to online classes, and with this class I’ll be covered for the entire year…thanks for the oppertunity.
Yay! You’re teaching in Life Book I love all the teachers in the 2014 edition! I did the 2012, I so want to join 2014!
Sounds like an amazing class!
Life Book looks so amazing–so many great teachers, so much to learn and play!! I’d love a chance to win a spot!!
I’ve started out to live a more fulfilling life. The Life Book will suit my goal. Being creative is a good way to communicate with my soul.
I love to learn from al the great taechers
I would love to win because of the inspiring teachers, their work and because of other students and their work. One year with you and many others – that sounds wonderful!
Jorin
oh how wonderful that you are in the mix of teachers. I would love to learn from you and everyone else!!
Thank you for the chance.
Well, Carla! This sounds delightful! I’m ready to commit to a year long class! I’ve taken 5 years off …. This would be lovely …. And if I win, I promise to sign up for your year long class!!!
I have loved your classes in the past and would love to enter into an opportunity to win à chance with so many instructors, so many new ideas and techniques.
Oh My Goodness!! Just took a good look at what this is all about! WOW WEE! What an online class. SO many wonderful and talented artists all in one spot! And online – which is sooo convenient.
Okay, for my reply as to why I would like to take this class would be:
Now that my daughter is on her own way to greatness applying for Grad School to get a Masters/Ph.D….it is my turn to fly and venture out. (I was a stay at home / home school mum for 16 years). For the past two years now, I have discovered ART in my ripe ole age of 52!! And this art journey is amazing! So I wish to take this class so that I can keep on learning and adding to what I have already learned these two years. Learning from so many different styles of art would be so rewarding!
Thank you for such an exciting Giveaway!
Jodeldiduhhhh, I am from Switzerland what fun It would be to teaching me….hihi…..
I am always inspired, ever evolving eagerly learning, & patiently awaiting the next challenge. Well, maybe not so patiently… I LOVE learning new things!!! Especially from those I admire! It would be a privilege to learn from the best of the best!!!
I am currently taking the Lifebook class for 2013 and would love the opportunity to play again next year! Thanks for the chance!
Sorry, typo in my email address and it won’t let me change it! Should read cmason (at) dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk
I would love to win this class becuse I really like mixed media and don’t really know many techniques other than what I’ve learned from youtube.
why would i want to? since this is only a comment and not a dissertation, i will just say that this will support me in creating awesomeness all year long!
Well isn’t this an incredible opportunity! I’m keeping my fingers crossed….
I’m in Life Book 2013 now and it is so awesome! I would love to be able to join in again!! xoxo
Oh, what a fun and generous way to promote the new Lifebook class! Congrats of the fun teaching gig!
I simply HAVE to win this class!

This class sounds amazing! It would be a great opportunity to learn some new techniques from a bunch of fabulously talented people. Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot!
Would love the opportunity to learn from such a distinguished list of teacher and to connect with other artful souls.
Congratulations on joining the Lifebook teacher list for 2014! It looks like an amazing group and has the makings of an exciting year. I would love to win a spot!
Yah! I am so excited you are one of the teachers – I have long admired your work! I would love to win a spot
It is time to put a lifetime of learning together into my special book. This class would bring it altogether and since paper is my current special thing, it is the right timing. What a great opportunity.
I use so much creative energy facilitating other people’s art – I would love to have the opportunity to recharge like this!
I was JUST thinking about Life Book 2014 this morning, tuning up my radar expecting info to be forthcoming!! Kismet!! I would adore winning a spot in the class. Being able to explore art techniques while in the process digging in and getting to know my True self would be such a gift. Thank you for the opportunity!
I totally LOVE your work, but have never had the opportunity to take a class from you before. THIS is my chance, and I am so excited!!!! Thank you for the opportunity to WIN a spot . . . . That would be the icing on the cake, a dream come true!
Sincerely,
Annette
I would love to win a spot in LB 14! I am taking LB 13 now & really love it. So looking forward to the new line up of teachers & very happy that you will be teaching a lesson too. I miss your Silly Class 🙂 My daughter Madi & I took them together and so enjoyed them. Looking forward to seeing what your year long class is too.
I would so love to win! I’ve never taken Lifebook before and the lineup looks awesome!
I would so love to win a spot in this class to learn from you and the other fabulous artists teaching.
I would love to win a spot in this class, especially since you’re teaching. And you’re teaching right up front, so that means that I would actually do the lesson!!
This is just PERFECT for me! I’m going through a drastic life change at the moment, and I think this is just the ticket! Hope Hope Hope to win!
I’d love to win a place in this class! The variety of contributing artists is amazing and I like the yearlong format. Thanks – Heidi. Have a happy day:)
For me, 2013 has been a really tough year and I would love to start off 2014 with a really good start – especially if it’s you starting things off! Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you for being a part of!!! And your creative soul!!
Teresa
So glad to see you on the list of teachers for LifeBook 2014, Congrats! I’m currently participating in LB2013; it is so fun to get to see how each teacher constructs their lesson around the theme for the month. Then we get to see how everyone ‘puts their own spin on it’. A great experience. Can’t wait for 2014.
I took my first online course this year and it was great, but only 5 weeks. It would be wonderful to have an entire year of inspiration and motivation– and what a great line-up of teachers! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot Carla!
A bit scary to even think of taking on this stretching experience. But what a chance to learn new skills and try new ideas out! I am eager to try it all!
and another piece….I think learning a year of self- expression would be great to take to the families I work with (adoptive/foster families)
I was a serious art quilter and teacher for more than 30 years. When I retired from my “real job” I decided to expand my art world. My first class was with you in Las Vegas….JUNK MAIL….I am a retired Postmaster. My first lesson was at the air port where I learned that gesso is a liquid an can’t fly. First jar in the trash unopened. your class inspired me so much and I follow you for continued inspiration. I made CRAZY FLOWERS with you and love love love where that has sent me. I have funny little creatures that hang with me in my journals. The Life Book sounds like a wonderful class….experience 24 different teacher ! With your backing I will be taking the class….Now who wouldn’t like to receive it as a free giveaway.
Oh, my goodness! A whole year of wonderful art learning and practicing. And teachers? You, Marieke, Flora Bowley, Traci Bautista… Swoon! Hoping the giveaway gods look on me with favor this time.
I’d like to win because I’m going to create books with my art class, and the idea of a life book is so intriguing that I’d like to see what it’s all about. It reminded me of the last book in L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables series (‘Rilla of Ingleside’), in which one of her characters has a life book which is the essence of his whole life.
Oh, wow! I’m so glad you’re teaching. I find your artwork so intriguing and lovely. I’d love to learn from you. I’ve wanted to take Life Book for awhile now, but I couldn’t afford it. My medical expenses often prevent me from being able to do any fun things. I don’t usually have much extra money. I think it would be an awesome experience and an epic journey. I would love an opportunity to take the class. Wendy
I really like the concept of creating a life book and would love to be part of that! Sounds like it could be a year of great personal adventure and discovery.
I think this is a wonderful and generous opportunity to learn from so many wonderful artists.
i’d love love love this chance! Nothing in the world better than regular art with people i love and admire! ty so much!!
For the joy of it and the insights that will bring. 🙂
I want to be part of LifeBook 2014 because I saw the teacher line-up and I have to be part of it!!! Connecting with my art friends is wonderful!!! Thanks!!
I have always wanted to take this class, and never had the chance! I would be so thrilled to win a seat in this giveaway! Great teachers, exciting classes-what’s not to love!
I would love to win this class. First I really can’t afford it Second, you are teaching.
Well, if your teaching Carla I want in! Your teaching style is my favorite. I missed the year if the Giraffe, and I promise: if I win this giveaway, I’ll sign up for your next year long class! Since my husband passed away, your classes have been a real joy to me. I’m looking to commit to a long term class!
I would love to be a part of this class. My art school has changed its format so I probably wont be able to attend next year.. This would be wild! Especially when I see who is taking the classes!
Thankyou for the opportunity.
Thanks for sending out this notification, Carla! Sounds like exactly what I need! Will be signing up Oct. 7!!!
I would love to take this class for the new techniques by awesome artists, for the accountability in exploring my art weekly/monthly, and for the community of other people who share my passion for creating! Thanks! xx Kate
I would truly enjoy the inspiration from all these exceptional teachers and from the community the class will bring !!
I am so excited to have the opportunity to learn from all of these amazing artists like yourself. I really want to take this class.
Congratulations! I’d love to take this class because there are some awesome people represented (none the least, yourself!) and I simply cannot get enough of mixed media techniques. And I LOVE the interaction that goes on between the participants ~
You are a wonderful addition to a great line up of teachers! Congrats and pick me pick me!
ohhh i have your Drawing Lab book and it would be a thrill to do a lesson with you.
OOH how exciting!! I am delighted for you and for whomever the lucky winner is!!! I am vowing to make 2014 my year! 🙂
So many amazing artist together, I would really like to join the class!
Hugs,
Julia
All these wonderful teachers….Wouldn’t want to miss it!
I’m in such an exploratory phase of art right now. Exposure to so many artists would be a great gift.
Doing a year long course on my life… wow. And the fact the you’re teaching during it makes it extra special. I love your teaching!
It’s always great to take your classes. Have taken most of them at one time or another!
Pick me! Pick me!
I would love to partake in this event. These classes are exactly what I need. Fingers crossed.
Ooooh! Oooh! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease pick me, Carla!
Life Book 2014 is for me! More silly, more messy, more joy!
Lifebook 2014 is a journey, a commitment to oneself to pursue creativity, genuinely, & authentically. While having incredible amounts of fun. not only with Tam, but with all the wonderful mixed media artists taking the time to teach!
I did the 2012 of Lifebook. Tam has put together a great team of artists! Awesome to see you there!
A year-long class like this seems a great way to stay focused on personal creativity. It’s much harder to lose momentum when there’s always something new to look forward to around the corner. What an adventure! I’m keeping all fingers & toes crossed, and I’m so glad to know you’ll be one of the instructors, Carla.
I would like to be a part of Life Book 2014. I love mixed-media. I love to paint. And I want to learn something new. I take part in LB2013 and I learned a lot of interesting things. And I’m sure that LB2014 will be very interesting too.
The list of teachers looks wonderful!
I found Tam randomly through youtube and she has always resonated with me. Life Book is a recent discovery and I’m very excited about the fact that the 2014 lineup of teachers is so fantastic and that you are among them! I’ve been trying to realign my life with my art and Life Book seems like a great way to do it while being amongst a group of likeminded people with wonderful teachers.
Thanks so much for the chance to win this! I’d love the Life Book class because of the year-long inspiration & commitment to keep me energized and creating every single week.
i would love to 2014 life book because I would never be able to take classes with all the awesome teachers in next years life book.
It’s like the new Fall TV Series coming out..AWESOME LINEUP!! What a great chance to learn a plethora amount of knowledge.
I would love to be part of LifeBook 2014, because it is a source of Soulspiration!!!
Thank you so much Carla!
How awesome it would be to win a spot on the journey that is Life Book 2014! So many wonderful artists and teachers, and so much more to learn!
I am just learning to be an artist so for me the exposure to all these new teachers of new techniques and inspiration is mind blowing!! Can’t wait to be part of something like this!!
yes, very very interesting online class – perhaps perfect to me…
Dear Carla,
I’d love to take this class because it would bring me joy! And I really like being part of an online community of people who are creating, sharing their art, and encouraging one another. I’m so glad you are part of this!
Warmly, Sarah
I just really need to spice up my journaling efforts but seem to need some direction!
I would love to win!
I have dreamed of taking this class but never have the funds to do it. My art has grown so much since I’ve entered the blogging world and connected with so many inspirational people . I can’t even imagine how much I would grow with a whole year of great inspirations ♥♥♥♥♥
I would love to win a spot in Life Book 2014 as I love the interaction between teachers and the students on online courses..it would be a fabulous opportunity to learn more skills..thanks for the opportunity ……Loz
Hi Carla,
Congrats on being one of the teachers…awesome. I would love a chance to win a spot. It would be the perfect Birthday present. I turn 50 in January…:)
Hi Carla, I would be thrilled to take a class from you, I really love what you do. Such a wonderful line-up of teachers for Life Book 2014, I would love to be a part of it. Thanks for the chance to enter.
Dear Carla,
I am looking for a mixed media class in my town for a long time, because I like to play with all kinds of colors, papers, glues an so on.
And now it is here! Directly in front of me! I follow your blog for a while and I’m always astonished what you create. It is so fabulous! So I need you and the other wonderful teachers to show me how to let my ideas living on the paper!
Best wishes,
Carola
Hi Carla. I would love to be part of Life Book 2014. I feel I’m already benefiting fro by being introduced to many great artists that are new to me through this blog hop. You are one of them! I love your thought that silly is fun & your imaginary animals are fantastic. I’m off now to have a good browse around your site 🙂
I am very new to this concept of online art classes and having signed up for 2 of your classes just recently a whole new world has opened up for me. I feel like a new person :”)
To be able to do a whole year of mixed media art with so many different talented artistes, discovering me, what I can do and enriched my life all at the same time would be an amassing journey.
Oh, I would love to participate….I have just stopped working / earning money, so I cannot afford buying it, but imagine to win it – !!!
Miss Sonheim, I would love to enter because I have not done art in a long time due to studying for my Creative Writing MA (which I am happy to say, I have recently received 🙂 ), but I want to get back into it, as it is my first love. I want to learn new techniques and ways that will allow me to nurture my creativity and also want to be inspired and get my confidence back. I need the practice and the motivation to do art every day of the year to get back to where I was before. I want to learn to be more expressive and fearless when it comes to art. Thank you for giving us this opportunity and I wish everyone the best of luck.
I would love to win a spot in this amazing e-course.
For me this is an amazing oportunity to meet so many art teachers and learn from them. For me online teaching is the only way to learn and grown as an young artist (wanna be 😉
Thank you for this awesome giveaway 😉
Alenka
Why?…Book Life is a fairy tale world where I become an artist thanks to you – teachers in awesome workshop 🙂
Great way to start new year!
Why? For the pleasure of your company, of course. Best of luck to everyone. 😉
Isolated in dissertation world, with two small kids at my feet, I need a creative break. Life Book 2014 has my name written all over it. #fingerscrossed
Life Book is a great way to get to know some wonderful new artists, make some art you never knew you could and do some healing along the way. What’s not to like? 🙂
Aaah, the 18th already here in the Netherlands. Would love to. Just discovered drawing. Following a lovely monthly course where I learn to work with all kinds of materials. This would be a great complement to it. Feel like there is a whole new world. Read somewhere last week, from a teacher answering her little daughters question: ‘What she was doing for her job.’ ‘Learning people to draw.’ was the answer. ‘Did they forget?’ the kid replied. Just how I feel about my drawing. Had to be like this, like that, and drawing like the course shows, wasn’t what teachers expected, so I sort of started disliking drawing. And drawing like the course says is what I wanted, wow.
What a great opportunity!
I would love to win a spot because the past year has been a very emotional and turmoil filled year. I lost sight of all the things I loved and I stopped appreciating myself . I’ve regained a lot of ground back but I still struggle with finding that inner peace again. I think life book would be a fantastic way for me to heal and express the chaos that had built up inside of me. Plus the lineup of teachers looks amazing and I would love to learn from each one of them.
Dear Carla: It would be such a great opportunity to start “a life book 2014” so I would really love to win the chance to take the course.
Each year I select a Visioning Project to myself forward in life and art. One year I work my way through Drawing Lessons for Mixed Media Artists, by you know who. It was an amazing growth experience. Life Book 2014, with its cache of teachers looks taylor made for me. Please add me to the list of wanna be students.
The lineup just gets better ad better. Carla, I know your work from Mermaid Circus and have been introduced to so many talented artists since. It’s like a switch went on in my brain and for me right now, art is the one thing left worth doing. I’ve never participated in Life Book and I am counting the days.
I’ve heard about this class or something similar and would love a chance to take it. I’ve been wanting to journal the past few years but just never get beyond
D buying the paper and stuff to make fabulous backgrounds. Also 9/27 is my birthday and its a BIG one! What a great present this would make!
I would love to win a spot becasue the line up is so awesome and becasue I keep saying I am an Artistic goddess, and I seriously need help in living up to my claims!!!
Thank you so much for the chance of a place!
This comment no.150…fat chance to be picked as a lucky winner! BUT on the other hand you never know ….wishing and hoping!
Have a great vacation!
eva
Thank you Carla, & the rest of these great instructors, for this generous offering. Who wouldn’t want to take these classes offered in Life Book 2014? It will be my first year… I’ve not had an opportunity to join with other classes and workshops I’ve done – I take at least one a year and I like to devote my attention to the lessons and community, so one is usually all I can do. This lineup of teachers is definitely a community and course work I will choose for the coming year! Good luck to all! ~Hobby
http://www.creativesouljuice.com ~ please stop by and visit!
I’d like to take these classes so I can kick off the year in a creative frenzy – and hopefully continue the frenzy all twelve months.
What an opportunity – still busy doing lifebook 2013! Such fantastic value
I want to take this class because I think it’s an awesome opportunity to learn mixed media in a positive environment. I’ve never taken Lifebook, but I would love to!
Would love the opportunity! Live abroad and would appreciate so much
I would love to win a spot in the class because of the exposure to so many talented artists. Thank you.
i;l like to go on, after two years, with this exciting experience and to know new amazing teachers!
I love online learning because it connects me to people with similar interests around the globe. I get access to teachers that I would never have access to if it weren’t for online learning. My art has already grown so much because of the valuable information I have gotten from these types of classes. I really hope to win a spot in Lifebook to continue this fabulous journey. Thank you for offering a spot. Love and hugs, Marianne
I would like to take this class because you are teaching, because I could not afford to take it on my own, because it would give me a creative outlet that I do not have on a regular basis right now, because it would be fun.
I would love a whole year of creativity and learning new art forms.
I would love to take this class to help motivate me to lead a more creative life. I live alone, I’m a senior and there aren’t many art classes in the area where I live. This would be an amazing opportunity to learn something new.
I love the idea of being part of an art community for an entire year.
It would be fun to participate in this incredible sounding class for a whole year.
Dear Carla,
i would like to begin the year 2014 with this beautiful class.
Regards
Sabinek
This is just what I need to finally get out of this block that has been troubling me for many months now. This a class that I will commit to doing.
Ooh, that line up of teachers makes my mouth water….. So many different styles….., so many different lessons. Would be great to be part of that……
Creating art and learning about oneself, what a wonderful way to start 2014!!
Thank you,
Blessings
Kat
Carla I love this eclectic group of instructors, you don’t get this anywhere else! plus, I’ve been wanting to take a class from you for a while, and this will be a lovely intro 😀
Would love a chance to win a spot!
I would love to take this class, because of incredible instructors such as yourself! I am so excited about the different styles represented in the instructor list, that it is sure to be an awesome life book year!
I would love to win a spot so I can have a beautiful creative tool to help me heal from past trauma and abuse. I would also love it so I can learn from so many awesome artists! I have your book The Art of Silliness, which I love. It would be really cool to take a class with you. 🙂
Hi Carla, it would be wonderful to be starting 2014 with Life Book 2014 and a free spot would be the icing on the cup cake. Already Life Book 2014 is making a massive difference to my art, because I’ve found you and your amazing characters. It will be amazing to learn from you and the other artists and I’m sure make be a turning point for my art, such diversity is a great thing and I’m hoping will help me refine my own style. Thank you!
Oh so many great teachers! Thanks for a chance to win!
I relish the idea of learning from so many different teachers and seeing their take on the journaling process. This class has me excited since I usually need some motivation to stay creative in the dark winter months!
I have been enjoying LB for the past 2years and would just love to be able to take part next year by winning a place through this drawing. Thanks for this opportunity.

Art makes me breathe, brings me joy and brings back the child within my soul and i think this book 2014 is exactly what i need, to be connected and STAY connected.

Yipes! 208 comments already. I think I’ll just plan on registering on my own since chances are slim I will get a free ride. This seems so awesome. What fun to anticipate art inspiration for an entire year. Wow. Since art keeps me happy, I would really like to win…win…win…memememememe!
It looks like a great class. I would love to win a seat!
2013 was a pretty hard year for me, and most of the bright spots were times spent making art. Starting of a new year, one that promises to be good, with this workshop course would be awesome beyond what I could describe.
Ooh, I love giveaways! (Not that I ever win them … but it’s still fun to enter and hope! Sort of like buying lottery tickets.) Anyway …. this sounds like a wonderful class. So many great teachers. Wow!
I hope I get a chance to win a seat in this class! very excited to learn more mixed media art!
I can’t wait to take in this incredible course. I am so eager to learn new techniques and be part of this year long experience.
Yikes! A whole year of creativity. Yes please count me in :”)
I would love to win a spot on this year long art course. It is wonderful to learn through online courses – an opportunity to meet teachers from all over the world- I would otherwise not meet. The online courses I did with you – and during the online summer camp – were a wonderful experience and a great help to develop my art work. This line up of Life Book 2014 is incredible even a little daunting.
Thanks very much for the opportunity to win a spot.
And I can’t wait to hear about your next year long project…
WOW! Online course; lasts all year; download videos to keep forever; connecting with like minded souls; inspiration galore, learn new stuff, exposure to a fabulous line up of teachers; my list goes on as to why I would love to win a seat!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
I am excited at the chance to win a spot for the 2014 Life Book.I really love the Life Book concept. And – this online course gives the best teachers in the world, just for me 🙂
Woud LOVE to take this class to learn more about mixed media and just make lots and lots of art! 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!

This would be an amazing gift to receive! As an intern art teacher my head is spinning with ideas regarding everything from classroom management, to lesson planning, to peer communication, to blah-de-blah-de-blah…This online ‘art retreat’ would be the perfect way to recharge my inner creative spirit!
I have just had a huge move across the country and am missing my creative friends. I really craving creative connections and think this course would be a wonderful boost to my artist soul just at a time when I amtrying to get a paper arts business up & running.
Would love to win a spot! Thanks for the chance!
This looks like such an amazing journey – what a fabulous line-up of teachers! I would love the opportunity to be a part of this; it would be such a boost to my creativity! Thank you for the chance!
Lifebook sounds so wonderful; I would so like to learn from these amazing teachers!
With my first baby due on 8th Jan it would be so rad to be able to join Lifebook and have something to focus on artistically while I navigate becoming a new mother 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win! x
Hi Carla,
Congratulations on being an instructor for LifeBook 2014. I would feel honoured to win a spot in 2014 to be a part of an amazing and talented community of artists with the opportunity of being inspired by such fabulous artists, like yourself!! A year long course would keep me inspired! Please pick me! Pick me!! xx
Congrats. It would be so much of fun to learn from so many talented teachers all in one place through the year. It would be soul food. Prerna. India
What a wonderful line up of teachers – all that talent in one place, what a fantastic opportunity!
I am so grateful to have the opportunity to win a spot for 2014 Life Book.
I have only recently found art (or it found me) as therapy – a way to forget about the health issues I’ve been diagnosed with. I’m finding that reading about all types of art and mixed media, playing with art and thinking about it has given me such joy. My 2 gorgeous kids and wonderful hubby are also loving the positive influence art is having on us all! My dear hubby has set me up a small table where I can draw or doodle or paint – and I’d love to join Life Book 2014 for the amazing community, teaching, inspiration, knowledge and encouragement.
Thanks so much, kindest regards, Michelle ❤
In high school a way long time ago I did drawing. When I recently went on disability, I started painting as a way to fill my time and reduce the stress levels. I am ready now to expand my painting abilities with a group of like minded people. I would love to win this opportunity.
This sounds great. I would love to win the class. I’m glad you are participating Carla!
Congratultions on joining the LifeBook team! I follow your blog, tam’s and many other of the artists who will be instructing scheduled for LifeBook 2014. Would love to take classes from all of you but can’t always afford to do so. Would love to win a spot! Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi Carla from St paul. Really enjoyed meeting you at Wet Paint.l would be honored to be taking a class you are participating in!! Julie Dent
Sounds like such an awesome line up of classes! Thank you for a chance to participate!
The artist line up for this year long journey is amazing. It would be such a gift to learn so many new techniques from such talented people.
I am excited to be a part of this next year, Im always online looking for more ways to develop this new love I have into the art world, as there is NOTHING in person in my part of the world, and just a chance to join all the blogs on this list is amazing, Im very excited to see where this journey is going to take me in the new year.
This is a fabulous group of teachers to learn from, an amazing opportunity that I would love to experience!
What an incredible opportunity!! A little piece of heaven!!
It would be a fabulous experience to be able to sample and learn from 24 different amazingly talented artists through the upcoming year.
Hi Carla, what an awesome list of teachers, the course sounds incredible. I’d love to join the class as many of you are artists I admire and whose teaching styles I already get and love. I’d also love to be part of a supportive community of people who’ll help me grow as an artist and person. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am so looking forward to this course because of all the viewpoints and ideas that will be expressed by the different teachers!! This class sounds amazing! Thanks for the opportunity to win a seat. 🙂
Carla you are the best! Thank you for taking the opportunity to help teach this class. I would love to take it.
I would love a spot on lifebook. To be part of this great community and have lessons from awesome teachers. Love you giving a lesson in lifebook, have your drawing books and they are so great and whimsical. Thank you for saying yes to Tam.
I love learning new techniques in bite-sized chunks, and having a “deadline” encourages me to try it now and not put it off.
I would love to participate in Lifebook and have the chance to learn from you and this great group. Thanks for the chance.
Hi! I would love to take part in Lifebook! I discovered art journaling little over a year ago and have fallen totally in love with making art.
What a fantastic opportunity. I am in awe of all the talent that Tam has gathered for LifeBook 2014 and would love to be a part of it. I have always looked for ways to express my creativity; there’s a power in making that invigorates me. The structure of the LifeBook classes appeals to me because I get overwhelmed by all the ideas and possibilities every time I sit down to my table. Too often I walk away in frustration after fumbling with my supplies because I can’t narrow my focus.
Good luck to you, Tam and all the teachers, and to all the other entrants 🙂
I would love to win a spot in LifeBook 2014! It’s going to be The best online journey ever. Can’t wait, can’t wait!
LOL….as I come out of the cracks…I wouldn’t mind winning too! I need a bit of motivation! Looking forward to see what year long class you are teaching next year! I have a feeling it might be a peacock!
I would love to have the encouragement of a new lesson to look forward to every week. What great motivation to stay creative all year.
I would love to win a spot in the Life Book 2014 classes. I have been intrigued with mixed media and art journals. I have been buying some basic supplies; but haven’t actually started anything, yet. This sounds like the perfect setting to begin exploring.
Pick me!! This looks like a wonderful class. I really enjoy any class that you give. The other classes lined up for the year are awesome.
Wow what an amazing response to your blog post! I would LOVE to have the chance to learn from you next year, this us such a fab opportunity to learn about both art and myself xxx
This year, I took a mixed media acrylic class and I loved it. It will be good to explore more mediums in order to choose the one I like. I started reading your drawing book. It was very creative. Hope that I can learn more techniques. Thanks.
I love online classes because, thanks to that, I can meet people that are like-minded and learn from awesome teachers – just like you 😉
I love the topic and I love online classes! What a great opportunity. Thank you!
Because LB 2013 is amazing and with the teachers line-up for LB 2014, I’m sure it would as awesome!!!
this looks very interesting. Would love to win a spot.
What a great line up of teachers. I have not done Life Book before but this year looks fabulous, it would be great to win a spot in this 🙂
I have all the supplies to art journal and every year I say, “This will be my year!” I think this class will keep me on track for a full year! YAY!
Life Book sounds like fun. I’d love to win a place in the class.
I’d love to try out this class. Haven’t done anything in awhile and feel kinda “stale.” I think this would help enliven my art.
Thanks!
Simple……..greyt line up of art teachers all in one place 🙂
all the best to the person who wins ..they won’t regret doing Life Book

LF2014 has such a fantastic group of teachers. I’ve looked at the individual teachers, and to be able to take all their classes in one course, would be a dream.
Blessings,
The reason i would like to take this course is to take a creative journey and see what gets discovered. Thank you.
It would be awesome to be able to learn from so many different teachers in one class and be able to do it all year long.
I would love to part of this class, why? because this is a way for me to learn HOw to celebrate myself, something that I have never done
I would like to take this class because there are so many fabulous teachers signed on! I want to learn things from all of you.
The chance to learn from so many wonderful teachers would be so fantastic. As I have just retired and want to improve my skills, this would be the perfect way to do that.
What a wonderful giveaway!
I have some medical issues that cause me great sickness and pain, and I think the motivation, inspiration and know-how of creating a life book would be amazingly cathartic for me. I could never afford this class so I long for a winning ticket in the life book lottery.
Help! No formal training, no money, plenty of time, got the Spirit, Lots of supplies, and a mind that is ready to soak it all up! I am retired and want to share with my senior friends that they too, can be artists. All I need is some help from my soon to be friends, (and very talented, I might add) I hope. What a wonderful thing you are all doing. Hope to make you all proud if I am chosen to be the lucky one.
I have 2 of your books and love your teaching style. I would appreciate the opportunity to take an online class with you.
Hi, Carla! Congratulations on being part of Life Book 2014! I love your whimsical, carefree style and that you embrace silliness! I would love to win a spot in Life Book because I am going through a major life transition. I have put some big health challenges behind me, and I’m going back to school to follow my calling to become a coach. I just got back from the first class, and my classmates gave me some wonderful feedback. They said they loved how open and present I was, but they’d like to see me loosen up and have more fun. So I really resonate with embracing the silliness right now. I will be in training for a year and a half, and I think it would awesome to be part of Life Book 2014. It would give me a structure – a reminder – to just play and be silly each week. A reason to continue regularly making art. When I’m creating, I get so in the flow that all the chatter in my brain goes away and it recharges me so much. Being part of Life Book would allow me to recharge, to embrace the silliness, and to capture so much of what I am learning as I move forward through this growth phase. Thank you so much for your generosity. Best wishes and blessings to you and whomever you choose! ♥
Carla – You are always an inspiration to tape into my inner silly! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your contest!! Happy New Year (almost).
Hello Carla! Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to win a spot in LB 2014!! Many Blessings ~H♥~
I would love the opportunity to participate. As a small business owner, I create and teach art/craft classes for others several times a week. It would be a welcome change to be the student and be able to create and learn from others. Looking through the list of teachers – there are so many new things I could learn to expanding my art horizons.
So glad you are a part of this fun. Thanks for the chance to win this class.
I was SO SO excited to see your name in the list of instructors for Life Book 2014!! I would love to have the opportunity to get know your style better by winning a spot. THANK YOU for offering the chance to win!

I am so excited about LifeBook2014 beginning. Would love to win a spot!
I hope I’m not to late to enter the giveaway. I’m a quilter who has found my love in the art quilt realm and mixed media seems like the next step. I want to think out of the box more and would
