organized by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts.
Tam is joined by 22 incredible art teachers who are all gearing up to share their mixed media techniques, tips and tricks with YOU! Themed around self-development and healing, you’ll be creating several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year you will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! You will have a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life!
You can find out a lot more about this wildly popular course (it has been joined by over 12500+ people in the past!) by clicking HERE .
I haven't fully developed my class idea yet, but I'm excited to be sharing my mixed media skills and outside of the box ideas with all of you. We will include watercolors, among other mediums that you often find in my style. much like you can see in this painting:
Registration opens on October 3rd 2016 and the class begins on January 1st 2017.
So if you want to start the year with a fabulous creative BANG and spend 2017 with a wonderful creative community of like-minded souls, learning more about art and how to be kinder and more loving towards yourself, be sure to join once registration opens! :) Keep this page bookmarked so that you can sign up the moment it goes on sale! :)

I would love to win a place, I'm new to mixed media & would like to learn to be looser in my art. ��✒✏✂��
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a gorgeous piece of art work you've sampled here - I can't wait to take your class and would love a chance at a free entry.
ReplyDeleteOeh, I loooove what I'm seeing here, so I'm already curious for your lesson next year! Welcome to LifeBook, it's so much fun! I love the variety of people, creations and techniques and I'm learning so much. also the community is amazing! And what I absolutely also love is the weekly surprises with inspiration in my mailbox. That keeps me creative and sends me new 'tickles' every week! Definitely don't want to stop after December, hihi. Welcome and thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Wendy
Jamie, I am totally thrilled you are teaching at
ReplyDeleteLifebook 2017! I just love your art and would be thrilled to win a spot!!
Thank you so much for the chance!!

Thanks for the chance to win!...shared and signed up for newsletter!...I would love the chance to learn from all the amazing artists!
ReplyDeleteLove your work!
Je tente ma chance car j'ai adoré le life book 2016
ReplyDeleteJe tente ma chance car j'ai adoré le life book 2016
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring list of teachers! So happy that you are one of them. I am still new to the art world and need the encouragement and help to quiet the negative voices in my head. I would love to learn new techniques and styles! Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteHello I shared this via facebook and signed for newsletter. If I won spot in this project, I would like to get out of my comfort zone. Not only try some new techniques but also to look at my art from different perspective which I believe I could get from this project and all the amazing teachers.
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie, thank you so much for the chance to win a spot on the Life Book 2017 it looks amazing and I've been following Tam on Facebook for some time now and I absolutely love her style. I have a lifelong complex mental health disorder and my therapist always encourages me to create artwork as he says I can communicate far more than when I try verbally. I have a very good support network in place and I volunteer at an art therapy group for adults currently under mental health services as I'm not able to work at the moment. I feel I would really benefit from the teaching on the course and it would help me to express my thoughts and emotions. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteI took Life Book a couple of years ago and it changed my life. Because of the confidence it gave me, I started art school. I would LOVE to take the course again with this group of instructors! Subscribed and shared!
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! What a fabulous giveaway! Wanted to share with you that I've shared your page on Twitter and Google+. I've also signed up for your newsletter. Monday is a special day for me, so I'm having happy thoughts for both the giveaway and a celebration of life for a special lady who's no longer here on earth. Thanks for this opportunity. Julie
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a spot in Lifebook 2017. I have recently retired and on a budget-as I'm only on Social Security. I have collected paint and pens and paper the last few years before I retired so I could learn to paint-especially faces. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a spot in Lifebook 2017 because is an amazing chance to learn from these talented teachers that will be part of the new Lifebook. Learn new things, share ideas and spend amazing time during the entire year with all beautiful souls that are part of Lifebook around the world. Signed for your newsletter and Shared the post on Facebook. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot.

I wasn’t able to join the prior Life Books and would appreciate and love to win a spot with all you fabulous artists! I’m 58 (yikes) and have been doing artwork off and on for many years but never really found my niche. I’m new to Mixed Media and love it! I believe I have found an art form that fascinates me and I truly enjoy! The exposure of these classes is awesome and exciting and I want to learn and try all the different styles that I can.
ReplyDeleteTo be taught by all the fabulous teachers on lifebook 2017 would help me greatly to improve my confidence and perhapes not let me be afraid of the blank page
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by all the creativity of the artists in LifeBook would love to do more!
ReplyDeleteAll this talent and knowledge willing to give their time and technique's to all of us is amazing. Every year I want to take the class but being retired due to being disabled and on a fixed income it is something I can't afford. So winning a spot would be wonderful and hopefully give me the confidence to put ink to paper. I am stuck staring at blank pages and can't see to get my ideas out of my head in order to create.
ReplyDeleteDuh! Forgot to state that I signed up for your newsletter and shared it on Google+. I don't have Facebook or Twitter.
ReplyDeleteHi! I have shared your post on Google+ and signed up for your newsletter. I have been in Lifebook 4 years now and just love the variety of teachers Tam lines up for us. There are quite a few this year that I haven't seen before!
ReplyDeleteI signed up for your newsletter and I shared on Google+. I would love the opportunity to do Life Book. I'm looking to a creative and inspirational outlet for my free time. My baby girl has left the nest and I'm kinda lost. Thank You.

ReplyDeleteI love art and would be a great gift to learn from such a large cast of artists.
I would love to win a space on Lifebook because it is an amazing chance to learn from several different artists in one place!
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie! Congratulations on being an instructor on LB17 instructor! I love your artwork! I would LOVE to win a spot on LB17 because of the lineup of amazing and talented instructors, such as yourself, sharing your techniques and tips with us! Also, it would make the BEST Birthday present that I can enjoy all year long! ((fingers crossed!!)) Thank you so much for the chance! I look forward to your lesson.
ReplyDeleteI love your art and would love to add you to my list of teachers! Sharing and signing. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Your art is soooo amazing and I so hope I get to join LB and take a lesson from you!!! Not to mention all the other amazing artists. There is nothing like a year of inspiration and new techniques to keep me on track with my art-making :) Signed up for the newsletter and shared on google+ and FB!
ReplyDeleteWell for starters. Your artwork above is reason alone to want a free spot! I would love to learn from you Jamie. Also Lifebook has been a life changer for me. 2016 is my first year at it and it has helped me learn new techniques, the creative process (augh!) and also relieved a lot of anxiety and stress in my life. I love Lifebook and would be grateful for a chance to do it again.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your artwork! I am so excited for a chance to win a spot in this class! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a spot on Lifebook 2016! It is a wonderful way to learn so many different techniques from so many talented artists. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe opportunity to explore my soul and my art of becoming through the LB techniques is why I would love to win a spot.
ReplyDeleteSo excited about next year's Life Book! I've been in for several years now and love everything about it - the teachers, the lessons, the community. I can't imagine not taking it again, there's so much to learn! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win so that I can learn all the things and share in the great community that Life Book has created. I look forward to winning my spot.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to win a spot in LifeBook 2017. I am participating for the first time this year and I can't imagine a day without it! I am learning so much about discovering my own style. Ok . . .Alakazam, Abracadabra, hocus pocus and every other magical sparkly word I know. Best to all. Smile All Day, Cindy
ReplyDeleteJoined Newsletter and Shared on FB and all of the other glittery places!!
I've never done the journaling type of art before and I think it would be a great growth experience. :) plus fun!

I would love to win a slot for Life Book 2017 in order to study with so many amazing artists. I love your free flowing style. I have little confidence in my ability and if I understand correctly, building self-confidence and freeing students to express themselves artistically is the main goal of Life Book.
ReplyDeleteJamie I would love to win a spot in LB 2017. How joyful it would be to learn from so many interesting teachers and artists. Fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a part of LB 2017! I want to grow more as an artist but also as a person. I live with chronic pain and I can honestly say that art has saved my life, and keeps on saving me. It’s almost like therapy. I love to make art, because it makes me feel so much better and I forget the pain for a while.
ReplyDeleteThere’s so many awesome teachers that I want to learn from, seems like such a wonderful class! <3
I have shared your blog on Twitter and Google +. :-)
Would love to win a spot on LB 2017. I am in a great space right now in my "healing" journey to be able to participate in this year-long jam-packed artistic endeavor. Shared your blog and signed up for your newsletter. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI live with so much pain everyday that I need a creative distraction to help get me through the day. Life Book sounds like an amazing way to work through my pain and have something incredible to show for it. Please pick me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI'm now in my second year of Life Book and the thought of not having a LB lesson on Monday mornings next year makes me feel very sad indeed. This year has been financially disastrous for me, so I'm very grateful for this opportunity to win a spot. Hugs from Spain, Fiona

I am so hopeful to win a spot on Life Book 2017. I could really use the guidance, growth and creative freedom. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have grown so much doing Life Book this year that I would love to continue. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie, I just love your artwork. Watercolor is my favorite medium! I would love to win a spot in Lifebook 2017 to learn from you and all of the other fabulous instructors! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI have done Life Book the last 2 years. I have grown so much in my art that I would like to continue. Winning a spot would really be wonderful as I now care for my elderly parents and will find it tough to come up with the money. Winning would be such a fantastic opportunity to continue on my artistic journey. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot!!!
ReplyDeleteI took part in Life Book 2015 but since a change in circumstances have been unable to finance it. I think the theme of Self Confidence and Healing could help with my depression and anxiety so I would really love to take part again. Good luck to all who enter 😀 I shared on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a spot in Life Book 2017. The list of teachers is impressive, I know this is going to be a fun year.

I love to do art but I need guidance, inspiration and instruction. The artist/teachers look so amazing, I would love to learn from them!
ReplyDeleteSo would love to be a part of Life Book 2017. This course has made such a difference to my life, I have loved seeing so many different artworks by so many inspiring people both tutors and members. It has opened my eyes to so so much. I hope I'm not too late to enter the draw! So looking forward to it!
ReplyDelete2016 has been a year of discovering the artist within, or maybe re-discovering. I've always thought I could draw/paint, if I just had some instruction. I've watched lots of free videos and I've come a long way. I would love to have this opportunity to learn alongside of you. G Rene Hamilton
