“Finished my collage and couldn’t be happier with it! The course is so easy to follow and it was such a fun experience getting feedback both from my kids and the Facebook group. Excited to work on another one soon!”Â

"From the moment I signed up I couldn’t wait to start this class! What an amazing gift you have shared with all of us. Not only do we have a new piece of art to hang in our home, but we also had the gift of walking down memory lane. Going through all our kids memorabilia was such a joy. Your class gave us permission to put these little labors of love into a new piece of art that we can enjoy everyday! Thank you for taking the time to create this class and answer all our questions along the way! I will cherish this collage for years to come."

"I’ve cherished my kids’ artwork for years, saving every single piece, all carefully tucked away in a bin in the basement. I’ve always loved creating my own art, but recently I’d been feeling creatively blocked. One day I came across one of Shana’s posts, and it instantly reignited my inspiration. I signed up for the Heirloom Collage Method right away. Her thoughtful instruction met creative freedom — the perfect balance that made this project truly inspiring to create. Her attention to detail in the videos, along with all the helpful tips and tricks, made the entire process flow with such ease and joy. This project literally brought me back to life. I only wish I had more boards to create!"

"Shana has made this experience so easy and fun. I couldn’t be more excited to feature my kids’ work in such a beautiful way! Highly recommend this course!"
- Molly W.
"I finished this beautiful collage for my grandson Matteo, who is 7 now. We had a lot of fun selecting the drawings together and listening to all the stories he had to tell. We both are so happy with the result! Thank you Shana for guiding us through the process of creation and also for your personal support and feedback. We made a piece of art together that will keep him and myself connected to his childhood for years to come! P.S. I have 7 more grandkids to go!"

"My son was coming home from collage for Thanksgiving, and I got his collage done and hung up just in time to pick him up from the airport! He loved his collage and we have had fun reminiscing about it. For me, it has been such a healing way to honor and remember his childhood. It only took me 15 years to make something with his kid art! His art looks much better on the wall than in a box! I am so grateful for Shana’s online instructions. I could have attempted this on my own, but I saved time, money and frustration by taking the course. Thank you for offering this!"
- Melanie S.
"The online course was simple and straightforward which made it easy to follow and encouraged me to experiment. I don’t have children of my own, so I had to ask a niece to allow me to use doodles by her 2 and 4 year olds and a bit of hers! I had very few doodles— very little to work with. But, I trusted the process and having little to use turned out to be a good thing. It forced me to limit the layout to create more abstract looking art, and I am quite pleased.  Thank you Shana for creating a course that was easy to follow and for creating this community! I appreciate your tips on what possible issues might happen and how to avoid them. I have been inspired by the questions and answers of everyone sharing here in the community. I learned so much from the rest too!"
- Icar C.
"This has been such a healing and heart-warming journey! My daughter and I chose the pieces together, and even though I haven’t created any art in almost twenty years, I was inspired to dive back into it for her. She absolutely loves the result, and I’m truly happy with it too!"
- Annie D.
"Shana’s course was fabulous. There were no second chances with this collage (five years worth of artwork can’t really be replicated) so it was something I wanted to get right. Having Shana’s expert guidance throughout was so worthwhile. I’m so thrilled that these memories will be preserved for decades to come."
- Maddy L.
"I have found the course so helpful. I am not an artist although am an art lover. Shana explains with such simple terms each and every stage which I found so helpful. But you must really listen to what she is saying. She explained how to fix mistakes before I even made them.  I had so much fun reminiscing over my 33 year old son’s childhood expressed in art! This course and the sincerity in which Shana explains the process made it transform into not only something I love but also that I am proud of!”
- Dori K.
"Shana’s expert course and the many examples in the private group gave me the confidence to create my collage as a surprise gift for my husband. He is wowed, and we have a new family heirloom to treasure for years to come. Instead of our children’s art sitting in a box, it’s now a focal point of our home for us to admire and them to feel extremely proud of.  And I’m proud of myself! It felt spectacular to exercise my creativity in a new way."
- Anna M.
"From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your amazing course. Without your expertise and the valuable tips, it would have been 'I’m just going to glue my kids’ pictures onto a canvas and hope for the best.' Instead, it became a beautiful collage, one we intentionally want to hang in our living space and that preserves a wonderful memory forever.  It's extra special that we got to hang it one day before Christmas. I’m so happy for you that your community keeps growing and that so many people are seeing and truly appreciating your talent."

The instructions were clear, creative, and inspiring, and it gave me the confidence to turn meaningful memories into something beautiful. The course exceeded my expectations and helped me honor my child’s artwork in a way I will cherish for years to come.”

“Finished my second collage! This time with my own childhood art (PreK to HS)! I’m so happy I was able to bring it to life again. Now I’ll be able to enjoy it in my office for many years to come.”
- Desiree C.
“This is the first of four I am going to do as I have 4 boys, all grown and out of the house. My son and his wife are coming home for a weekend with a bunch of couple friends and so I did his first so I could have it hanging when he arrives. I love the course and process."
- Lisa G.
“My kids are 25, 25 (twins) and 22. I’ve been wanting to do this for years and I was so happy to find the Heirloom Collage course. Even though I’m a seasoned mixed media artist, this presented its challenges and it was great to have the guidance and trouble shooting. I can’t wait to hang it!”Â
- Elizabeth W.
"If you are on the fence about taking the Heirloom Collage course, please just do it. I’m an artist and I thought I could “wing” my collage, but Shana’s knowledge gave the confidence and crucial information to make it look great. Her tip on sorting the artwork was the best! The course is fast paced and she’ll guide you step by step. My girls are now 7 and 8. They absolutely love the finished product! The course was PERFECT!"
- Ana A.
"I had saved the artwork of my 4 children for decades in many boxes. So thrilled to see Shana’s course and immediately purchased it. It has been fun and inspiring to see all the love put into these wonderful creations!"
