Repost @shophelloginger Love this picture! ・・・ Confession: I used to semi-stalk the speakers and alums of @stationeryacademy. (Not in a creepy way, but in an “OMG they’re so cool and I look up to these ladies so much” way.) Actually attending Stationery Academy felt unattainable. Was I worthy? Would other attendees look at me and think, “What is SHE doing here?” Thank goodness I put these fears aside because (A) they were ridiculous and (B) registering for #StatAcad was one of the BEST decisions of my life. Stationery Academy is actually much, much more than a business conference. It is a community for creative women to come together and discuss their fears and their dreams. It encourages you to get honest with your values, find your core, and identify your purpose. In doing that, I had my "a-ha,” business-changing moment. I didn't want to design wedding invitations anymore. I wanted to create bold and bright things that would make people happy every day of their life — not just on their wedding day. Hence the birth of Hello Ginger! And true story: I learned more about business and branding and money in my 3.5 days of Stationery Academy than I could have learned in years of my own research. And while that in itself was worth the money, here’s what is invaluable: the relationships and connections I formed while there. Those stationery celebs I admired so much before going? They are not only real, honest to goodness people, but they are now just a Facebook chat away. Several of the friends I met at #StatAcad I now talk to weekly. We share our failures and our successes, and lift each other up when we are doubting ourselves and our businesses. The support of the Stationery Academy community is legit. We all just want to learn and grow, and to see each other succeed. And there’s no amount of money in the world that is worth the cost of that kind of #girltribe! #statacadalum
It's #creativefounderfriday 🎉 we want to highlight #statacadalum Paula with @polkadotpapercompany for rocking it on @handmadeatamazon They featured her last week on their homepage and Instagram account! Congrats!
And just like that… we’re full! We can’t wait to see the 2016 class at the @leehousepensacola in just a little under 2 months! #statacad
*a reminder* there are only 3 seats left! Repost @allshewrotenotes ・・・ Y'all! @stationeryacademy was the best investment I made in my business in 2015!! I left feeling SO smart and in control of my plans and my finances, so much so that I felt the push to finally leave my 9-5 job that I loved because I KNEW that I could grow my business. As much as I loved the content, the best part was the people and I have a network of women who I text on a weekly basis about ANY and all business related questions. These women have become some of my closest friends, cheerleaders and I am forever grateful! If you always wish you majored in business, it's not too late! @jennifer_faught is incredible!

We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We're finishing Day 3 :: Graduation ---> . As you walk away from the last session to freshen up and get glammed up for our graduation dinner, you’re walking away with 25 authentic friends who truly know your business, know you, and want to support and encourage you. After dessert and a champagne toast to the Class of 2016, we’ll all go around the room and say what we’re thankful for from our time together. It’s a wonderful way to conclude. But, your experience doesn't end when you graduate from our conference. As an alumni, you're now a part of an exclusive community and have access to our private forum of all our graduates. . This is a supportive, encouraging, engaged community—that also provides real, usable resources to help each other grow. If you’re feeling that nudge to join us, there’s still time. Registration closes January 15th. Link in profile. photo: @lifecreated
Repost @shopwinniejean ・・・ Raise your hand 🙋🏼 if you own a small but mighty creative business. Double raise your hand 🙋🏼🙋🏼 if it's one of your goals for 2016. I first attended @StationeryAcademy back in 2013 and it was a game changer for my business. Not only did I meet this community of amazingly talented business owners, but I learned how to run my business properly. Because of SA, I now sell my products wholesale and have over 20 retailers! I've exhibited at the National @StationeryShow twice which has only led to more connections and opportunities. Since attending, I've been able to return twice as a speaker and I am so thankful for those experiences. Registration for the 2016 conference (in FLORIDA - I'm so jealous) closes this week and there are only a handful of seats left. If you are on the fence, I've shared 5 reasons why you need to attend on my personal blog - link temporarily in profile! If you have any questions about Stationery Academy at all, just holler! xo - @stephaniecreekmur 😘 • 📷 @lifecreated. #StatAcad #StatAcadAlum #SCatStatAcad #SavvyBusinessOwner #GirlBoss #LadyBoss #BossLady #SmallBiz #CreativeBiz #CreativeBusiness #Workshop #CreativeConferences #BusinessLearning #WOB
Repost @dorothyart ・・・ To all of my fellow artistas and creative business owners: Want to be a part of something that will totally mold and renew your business this year?! 2015 showed so much growth for me and @dorothyart in large part to attending @stationeryacademy last March. From there I was asked to be a part of their booth at @stationeryshow in NYC where I debuted my #greetingcard collection and without @stationeryacademy I would not have made such incredible and like minded friends who help and support me and my business. This week the latest article of @stationerytrend magazine came out and I am featured as a "designer to look out for in 2016"!!! I cannot be more thrilled and had I not attended #statacad, I wouldn't have been at #nss2015 and would not have had the pleasure of meeting @ms_sarah_schwartz (who picked me for the magazine! Thank you, thank you, Sarah!!!) Nor would I had met two of my art entrepreneur idols @annariflebond and @lisacongdon. This lifestyle as an artist is one that I would not change for the world. Being a #statacadalum has helped me focus on how my passion can be a full time gig and how to support myself and my growing company. There are only a few spots left for the 2016 conference in FLORIDA(!!!) and the deadline is the 15th!!! I feel like a #blessed is appropriate? Yes? Also, #hardworkpaysoff. That's probably more on point. 😉
We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We're almost done with Day 3 :: Afternoon ---> . After lunch and a break, you’ll go to one of our last breakout sessions with the amazing @valeriemckeehan who’ll be talking about "Selling on @Etsy ” (whew, hot topic!) and @Oliviaomega for a deeper dive into your marketing plans with "Developing YOUR Marketing Plan”. And we’ll finish the day with @jennifer_faught and the Your Plan session. At this point you have a ton on your to-do list and lots of ideas swirling around. You’re also probably exhausted, but excited. Jennifer will help you with that overwhelm and get your plan together for the rest of the year so all you have to do is execute when you get home, instead of figure out WHAT to actually work on - you’ll figure that out before you leave. . This is a place where you gain the knowledge and skills you need to move your business forward—in a supportive environment with other creative business owners just like you, where you feel safe to share your struggles and your victories. photo: @lifecreated
Repost @thelittlebirdpaperie ・・・ After literally years of dreaming, this past July I finally had the privilege of attending Stationery Academy in Phoenix. Leaving my 3 little ones with grandma for 4 days was not easy to do, but they survived and it was so worth it! It was a true game changer for me and my business. I left with tools and a plan to greatly improve the way I do business and reach my goals... even really, really big goals! I found out what I was truly passionate about and this might surprise you... it's not paper! Don't get me wrong, I love a beautiful, thick card stock or a stunning gold foil as much as any other stationery designer, but that's not what I was really looking for. I discovered that I wanted to make a big change in the world. Like a huge one! And paper just wasn't my vehicle for that. Now I'm co-founder and creative director of EdTech startup KiraKira, an online academy that teaches girls the fundamentals of engineering and 3D modeling programs through fun, interactive jewelry design lessons. We want to inspire and empower girls to become anything they dream. We hope to increase the number of women in engineering and STEM by encouraging and building skills and confidence in today's girls. Now that's making a BIG change! And my StatAcad bff's have encouraged and supported me every step of the way! They even promoted and donated to KiraKira's Kickstarter campaign, and that blew me away! You'll never find a better community than this one! My favorite part about this particular photo, I keep in touch with each of these ladies and many more in a regular basis. We are there for each other, ready to listen, to encourage, to offer advice or brainstorm ideas. If you want to move your creative business forward, sign up NOW for Stationery Academy! There are only a few seats left! You won't regret it! Like I said, it's a game changer!!! #statacadalum #StatAcad #stationeryacademy #littlebirdloves #girlboss #paperlove #creativebusiness #ilovepaper
We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We're starting Day 3 :: Morning ---> . After a light breakfast and coffee, we’ll spend the morning with @oliviaomega and take a deep dive into marketing with the Your Call session. She will help you develop a beautiful one-pager marketing strategy to use as your foundation. We’ll head to breakouts with @loveinspired for "Making the leap to your own online shop” and @oneswellstudio for "Utilizing Style Stock Photography”. After lunch and a break, we’ll jump back in for a Q&A Panel Discussion on marketing, to give you even more of a grasp for your selling and marketing efforts. . We will provide you with actionable takeaways, engaging discussions, our proven worksheets, and plan as the founder of your creative business. photo: @lifecreated
We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We're picking up after lunch on Day 2 :: Afternoon ---> . Grab a casual boxed lunch and enjoy it where you’d like. Take this hour and a half break to call family, check email, go for a walk, or a nap ;) and head back for breakouts with @oliviaomega for "Social Media Mastery" or and @jennifer_faught for "Wholesale 101”. Cathy Olson of @loveinspied will lead us in the (dreaded) Your Money session. Don’t be scared of this session! We’ll make it easy, but you have to keep it real with the numbers of your business and stop ignoring it. You’ll finally have clarity on your income! We’ll finish the day with a creative session of chalk lettering and photo styling to give your brain a break! Then, you’ll get ready for a casual dinner off-site with Pensacola Bay views and Sunsets! After dinner, we'll head back to the @leehouse and get comfy for our evening chats, lead by our experts where you can dive in and ask anything you want and get really granular, personal attention. . Things are starting to come together now and you’re seeing how this is going to greatly impact your future! photo: @lifecreated
We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We're finishing up Day 1 :: Dinner ---> . Our first dinner is designed for you to relax and get to know your fellow attendees. Sweet tea, signature cocktails, and souther hospitality round out the day in a casual setting on the porches of our little Inn, under the twinkle lights of the patio. After dinner, we'll get comfy in workout close or pjs and break into two groups for a casual porch or living room chat, lead by one of our experts on a specific topic relating to what we've talked about today. We have the entire place to ourselves! You'll head back to your spacious room to hang with your roomies or grab some zzzzs before Day 2! . Day 1 is over and all the jitters are gone, you've made some friends and are feeling good! photo: @lifecreated

I can't wait to see this community and my business continue to grow! 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to expand your business and build a great network of other creative founders, sign up now for the next conference by January 15th!
We're sharing "a day in the life" series of what it's like to be an attendee at our conference. We'll start off with Day 1 :: The Beginning of Your Journey ---> . After grabbing your bags at the Pensacola airport and hopping in a cab for a very short drive to the @leehousepensacola, you'll check into your room and receive your roommate assignment. There are lots of jitters and everyone is nervous with excitement! Right away, you feel welcome and at ease with this group. You never have to look for a seat or wonder who to sit next to - we arrange our seats based on who we think you need to connect with and learn from. Our conference starts with introductions around the room, so you can put a name with the faces you've seen in our private forum and we dive in to complete the first two main sessions from our 6 Pillars of a Successful Creative Business, Your Core, presented by @oneswellstudio and Your Client, presented by @jennifer_faught . We can almost smell the salty air and feel the warm gulf breeze! photo: @lifecreated
