Making Picture Book Magic

This month of July, I’m really thankful for this course: Making Picture Book Magic by Susanna Hill.

I can’t put into words how much it means to me.

The ideas I’ve gotten just from receiving the daily lessons in my mail: Out. Of. This. World. 💫💥

The feedback from Susanna is really helpful, encouraging and quick.

The course fee is pocket-friendly @ $139 only for a month.

Try it out.

Thank me later.
