On February I spend a week in Denver, Colorado filming an online class for craftsy.com
It was an amazing experience with all the cameras, lights and even my own dressing room! And a make-up artist every day?! Yes, please!
Oh they spoiled me! Here are some “behind the scenes” photos!
I wish I had my own producer, videographer, technical director and make-up artist every day!
And how about a star with my name outside my dressing room?! Oh I can get used to this!
It will go live in a couple of weeks and it’s a great way to take a class with me if we live far away and you can’t come to one of my live classes. It is not in fast forward as my youtube videos and I take you step by step through all the layers of making an art journal. Plus I share how and where I find inspiration, a question I get all the time! I am also sharing how I translate the idea I have in my mind into a page.
Here are the two art journal layouts I am teaching in the class

That must have been an enjoyable experience! I like the Craftsy classes, you always learn a lot.
How fun and exciting for you!
I’m not into art journalling, although I do find that I’m more drawn to mixed media than I used to be. Maybe it’s time to broaden my horizon…
How awesome and exciting!! Congratulations!! I love your art journals.
Congrats! Looks like you had the star treatment for sure! I’m sure this will be an amazing class…..
What great fun! Thanks for sharing the process!
Hi Vicky: I actually have to confess…I learned what art journaling is and the magic of the many possibilities when I first came across one of your videos. Ever since, I subscribed and look forward to receiving your emails. Your layouts are amazing and I have learned so much from them: gelatos, mixed media, how to, etc. After watching several of your videos I went ahead and bought a journal and some stamps, pens, paints, etc., and recreated your Fall layout from a couple of years ago (pumpkins and leaves) and it came out pretty good, I must say. I am now a “fanaticada” and look forward to emails from you. Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge. As we say in America, “keep up the good work”!!! Wish you continued success. Warm regards, Susy P. (New York)
WoW Vicky, so happy for you! You must be very excited!
Congratulations to your winners as well!
Vicky, No one deserves the star treatment more than you do. Your videos are always an inspiration. Thank you so much
Glad you loved your experience. I’m already a fan of Craftsy and YOU so you can bet I will be taking your class the day it goes live. Watching you do Art Journaling is such a joy, I will gladly pay for this class! Can’t wait.

I’m thrilled you’ll be doing a journaling class on Craftsy! I’ve taken many of their paper crafting classes (loved Laura Bassen’s) and can’t wait to take yours. Following your cards I came across your journaling videos and have watched them several times. So much to see and learn and “be inspired” by. Thank you and we’re looking forward to it!
