Travel Tale Workshop 2023

[Cassel]

First of all, come and say HI if once you register for this workshop. We want to know who else will be there, on our side to inspire us. Remember that it is NOT a contest. Once the workshop is started, on August 21st, you can post your pages, and your stories (if it is too small to read, you can always copy and paste the text, if you want). Remember to resize your image to about 600 pixels before uploading it so it won't slow down the site when we have lots of your masterpieces. If you are using double pages, it might be better to split them in half and post both halves separately, otherwise they will be too small to really see. Now, pack your bag and grab your ticket. Take off will be soon. In case you see this post before it is announced elsewhere, congratulations, you are very observant. If you want to register, here is where you can reserve your seat.

I'm in. I have enjoyed doing a Travel Tale in the past and once I had exhausted my personal travels I decided to make fantasy travel pages. Last time I "went" to Botswana, in Southern Africa, because I'm a fan of the book series The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith which is set in that country and I always wanted to experience it IRL. I need to decide where I'm traveling to next but there's still time between now and Aug 21.

Here is an example of my work:

Just signed in to say Hi. I saw the new workshop a few hours ago. Hope again, I will be able to participate and pull through the WS, because next week "Scripting Study Group" is beginning....May be I' m too optimistic and daring right now ?. Actually I try to do at least one little exercise every evening after work to get more practice again.

By the way, Ann, you look smart with your hat ?!

[Corrie Kinkel]

I'm in too and was already hoping there might be another Travel Tale Workshop coming to show more of my photos from my last trip to the States.

Ann I hope it won't disappoint. I'm already collecting stuff to embellish my pages besides the photos.

[Cristina]

I'm also in.

Like Libera, I am not sure how far I will go as I am also taking the Scripting Course, and there will be some traveling in between... As I already started reviewing the scripting lessons, I hope I'll have time.

This is such a fun workshop, and I love to see what everybody creates and go to places I've never been.

I don't believe anyone will be disappointed, Corrie. I love to see your traveling layouts, showing different places and full of information.

This is such a beautiful layout, Ann! This proves that even without traveling, one can create great pages.

Looking forward to this

Daughter Laurey and granddaughter Jackie flew today to Toronto, Canada, for a 4 day vacation. I insisted they send lots of photos so I can use that for my travel layout. I told them I already have a few basic shots...

•✿• Me too!
My first workshop!

[Cassel]

Although it was not announced previously, I finally finished extra templates for our DIAMOND members.

Stay tuned!

I'm in. Hello everyone!? Thank you, Carole, for this workshop!

Fabulous page, @Ann Seeber, TFS! I have enjoyed some of the books in that series as well. ?

[Suzy]

I agree. That spread is really, really great, Ann!

I signed up, but I’m not sure how far I’ll make it.  Maybe I’ll make huge layouts on very small (short and close to home) trips.

I do have a question: What should we do if we see a grammatical or spelling error in a LO by an English-speaking participant?  Do we point it out or let it go?  The reason I ask is because a number of people confused its and it's in past workshops and I'd hate if they had their projects printed.  It's is short for it is only; it does not denote possessiveness. (For the possessive, it's its. hahaha.)

I had an error in one of my layouts in the spelling and I appreciated it being pointed out to me.  If one is going to have their layouts printed, I am sure we appreciate proofreading by knowledgeable people.

I am with @Mary Solaas on that one.
I too would greatly appreciate others pointing out any spelling errors I make.

Day 1.
In 2017 we went with friends to Innsbruck in Austria with our dogs. Poncho and his brother Pacco, who lives with our friends with another dog, were 1 year old at the time.
