can you picture spring yet?

Are you as eager for spring as I am? Even beyond the weather, I am excited to announce the BIG thing that's will be starting on April 1st: Picture Spring! In true Shutter Sisters' style I will be leading a 30-day photo project to celebrate the season of promise and renewal.

Picture Spring is a daily e-class, hosted over at the ever-fabulous Big Picture Scrapbooking that will awaken your creative spirit and open your heart and mind to all the wonders that the spring has to offer. One picture at a time. 

Pop over to the Picture Spring registration page for more details and sign up if you'd like to join us. Spread the word. Invite friends. Grab a button (see it over there on our sidebar? cute, huh?). Tweet it. Retweet it. Call your sister. The more the merrier! It's going to be a perfect way to grow and bloom this spring, cameras in hand. I can't wait!

And just to help get the snow melting (come on spring!) we're giving away 3 registrations today!

Share your pictures or words that sing of spring today (albeit a little early) and you'll be entered to win one of the complimentary registrations for the soon-coming Picture Spring.

Nothing says spring like the cherry blossoms in DC - such a contrast to their experience today!

gosh, it really is about opening our eyes and heart in hope for spring here in the pacific northwest. we are still steeped in our primary colors of brown, green and gray, but it's like magic to witness a sudden peek of sunshine while spontaneously discovering the elusive new bud :)

having a two year old has made me yearn for spring like never before...but as the blossoms are blooming, she is now able to say words "flower' "tree" " i like tree"...its a wonderful thing.

Here is a shot from DC last spring, and Yosemite recently...spring literally

I am enjoying the first signs of Spring!

How exciting Tracey! Funny enough, just took this shot Sunday as all the trees around us popped:

Some of you might not think of this as spring, but we've been having spring-like weather for the last month and this is one of the gorgeous sunsets we've had recently:

Your image brings a touch of spring to my heart...though I'm currently freezing and have no sign of spring here. How about one from last spring?

I'm thinking of all the things we can do on the ranch once spring is here...

So NOT spring here in upstate NY yet, so I'll share a favorite from an April two years ago:

I'm very interested in this class. I have some questions about it though. Where's the best place to ask?

[Karen]

Oh yes, I'm ready for color, warmer weather and the promise of longer days ahead.

Some blossoms from a few days ago. It feels like spring is just around the corner!

Spring has come earlier than expected in the NW. I spotted an early blooming cherry blossom at my son's school and it makes my heart sing to think that warmer days are just around the corner.

Oh what a fun class that will be!

Spring is still quite a ways away here - we still have LOTS of snow on the ground but I can't wait for spring to arrive. It is my favorite season.

[Bree]

Hopefully this registers my comment as February 10th still... it's not quite midnight in California! :)

That being said... I'm definitely picturing spring: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bleach226/4344820115/

[kristin]

well i would love nothing more than a little piece of spring to come my way alas we will still have winter here for at least 6 weeks more. but i clearly remember my first spring sighting last year. while my home was still buried under snow we took a trip into the city and i saw them, witch hazel trees in bloom! it was the prettiest yellow ever.
