teacher feature: Kolette and Jason Hall
We're back with another teacher feature, shining our spotlight on Kolette and Jason Hall. Kolette and Jason are team-teaching an inspiring new workshop called The Art of Becoming More. 
Registration for this truly unique workshop closes on May 21st, and it's just an amazing classroom. I love this classroom and the materials for many reasons.
First, the fun stuff:
Kolette has created some simply beautiful downloadable quotes and doodles -- they're perfect embellishments for cards and notes and all kind of scrapbook projects.
You can't get a perfect little piece of art like this one anyplace but this workshop -- and when you register you'll get one every single day! (Don't worry that class is underway -- the materials are all in the classroom waiting for you!) If that isn't enough, she's opened a Cafe Press store, too -- only accessible through the workshop, where you can get many of her designs on shirts, bags, buttons, mousepads....all sorts of wonderful items. I've got to buy some high school graduation gifts and think that I'm going to find what I need in her shop, by the way.
Second, the crafty stuff:
In this workshop, Kolette has some amazing prompts for layouts in a totally cool mini-album. I've made a few of these fabulous Making Memories 6" x 9" albums because I love the unique size -- but Kolette has come up with some amazing layout ideas that really make the most of this album's size -- and when you add her cool new stamps, then the fun really begins. Plus, there are awesome bonus projects (even a few to keep the scrapbook space tidy and inspirational). Class will keep you happily crafting and give you inspiration for your other projects, too.
Finally, the BIG stuff:
Kolette and Jason have poured their hearts and souls into creating a thought-provoking workshop like no other (and if you remember Kolette's Art of Choosing Joy, I think she's even outdone herself with this one). At its core, this workshop isn't about making pretty projects for their own sake (though that's a fun part), and it's not about the cool t-shirts, either. Kolette and Jason have crafted amazing audio files where they walk us through what it takes for each one of us to become MORE of the person each of us is designed to be. I love that they teach together -- offering different but complementary perspectives on issues we all deal with every single day. They show us how they've dealt with adversity and triumphed -- and their experiences are incredibly thought-provoking and inspiring. In the tumultuous world we live in, it's easy to grow discouraged, frustrated, or to despair at times....and Kolette and Jason understand that, but also know how to turn adversity into triumph, frustration into positive work. I've gained so much from working with them on their materials that I encourage you out there to read more and sign up -- become more of the person you are, celebrate yourself, and join us!
p.s. Mother's Day was Sunday, but I think this would be a wonderful gift for a mom, grandmother -- because nearly all of us were started off by a motherly figure who knew we could become MORE. Also, this class is perfect for a new graduate -- or anyone who enjoys crafting and seeks an amazing, uplifting experience!
