You don’t need to consider yourself creative. You just need a clear way to start.

I walk you through each step so you’re never guessing, and the private group is there for support and feedback along the way.

Some of my favorite student pieces have come from people who began by saying they “weren’t artsy.”

Worried about using their originals? That's exactly why I created this course. 

I guide you through how to work with delicate paper, avoid common issues, and seal your piece in a way that protects it for years to come.

What feels intimidating at first usually becomes a really enjoyable process once you begin.

You may think, 'I'll just figure it out.' You can, but this course helps you save the art you can't replace. 

I share a lot of ideas and inspiration for free, but the course goes much deeper.

The course gives you my full process step-by-step, the materials I trust, how to handle (and fix) mistakes, and a private group where you can get feedback and ask questions along the way.

It’s not a quick tutorial, it’s a complete process with guidance, problem-solving, and support so you can create something that actually lasts.

Yes. The method is designed for all levels.

You don’t need any prior art experience, just a love for your child’s creativity and a desire to turn it into something you can keep and display.

I don’t offer it separately.

The materials are part of a full process, and that’s what helps you actually get to a finished piece.

Selling the list on its own would be like handing over supplies without the process behind them—it’s the method that makes it all work.

Yes. Enrollment includes lifetime access for as long as the course is hosted on my site.

You can move at your own pace, revisit lessons anytime, and return to it year after year as your kids keep making new artwork.

About 60 minutes of guided video, but most people complete their first piece over a long weekend or several evenings.

The sorting and composing stages usually take the most time, since that’s where you’re choosing pieces and finding a layout that feels right.

I always advise to ask your kids' permission first. This is their artwork and they deserve to be part of the decision.

If they don't want a certain piece included, honor that. This collage is meant to celebrate them and their creativity, and that starts with respecting it.

The creation can be a full collaboration, something you make together rather than something you make for them.

Let them pick their favorite pieces and have a say in where things go. Ask them what colors they love, what drawings feel most special, what they want front and center.

Yes. The video lessons and materials live separately from the private group.

The group is a great space for feedback and community, but it's optional. You'll have full access to the course without it.

Yes. I include direct links for both U.S. and international sourcing.

If you’re somewhere I haven’t covered, I’ll help you find a local alternative.

The private group is made up of people from all over, and they often share product swaps and recommendations based on where they live.

No. This course is for personal use only.

It’s designed to help you create meaningful pieces for your own family.

I’ve spent years developing this method, and I ask that it’s used for personal projects rather than selling work.

Please do! I love seeing your work.

Tag @shanablakley so others can find the course.

I just ask that the specific techniques and step-by-step process stay inside the group, not shared as public tutorials.

Yes. The checkout above has a "send as a gift" option.

It’s a meaningful gift for holidays, birthdays, or any moment you want to help someone preserve their kids’ artwork.

The course includes full closed captions in English, plus translated captions in Spanish, French, and German.
