I have been doing live USTREAM broadcasts since August 2009. Over the years, I have recorded over 600 live paper crafting classes, chatted with memory keepers from all over the world and made some truly amazing friendships. It has been a wonderful experience, but it is time to move on to something even better.
Goodbye, USTREAM
USTREAM has announced that beginning January 6, 2014, they will delete all videos older than 30 days from basic accounts (like mine). Because of this, Mr. Lifeguard and I had to find a new solution for archiving my hundreds of USTREAM videos.
Since so many viewers have also been struggling with USTREAM's quality control issues, we decided it was time to move away from their service and switch to professional, paid services for hosting our own live web broadcasts.
Hello, New Classroom!
Beginning Thursday, January 2, 2014, I will be broadcasting live from our new online classroom at www.kathrynscraps.com!
I am so excited to be bringing you commercial-free broadcasting, higher quality videos and fewer technical difficulties! With your membership to the online classroom, you not only get access to the video archives, but also continued access to my live web broadcasts.
That's 96 shows a year for just $5.00/month - that's less than $0.60 a show! Or pay just $55.00 for the whole year - that's one month free!
Use the PayPal buttons below to subscribe to either yearly or monthly access, or click here to go to my shop:

Once you have checked out through PayPal, you will be directed to the new classroom where you can create a user id and password. Memberships are typically approved within 24 hours of cleared payment.
Thank you so much for your support over the years - it's been a blast. I can't wait to scrap with you again in our new classroom. See you there in 2014!
Kathryn :D
I can't wait!!! I'm all set up and ready to go.....I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteI am excited, too, Donna! I really think it's going to be so much better!
DeleteGreat idea, Kathyrn. Will the videos be downloadable?
ReplyDeleteYes, the new video archives are downloadable, so well be able to save your favorites for viewing offline.
DeleteKathryn ... so excited for you! I know UStream has been a pain but due to budget constraints I will miss you all.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be able to join us one day, too!
DeleteKathryn, Have you moved all your old U-stream classes over to your new classroom? I still have a line up of projects that I have not gotten to yet or is it not just 'good bye u-stream' or is it 'good bye u-stream and all old classes'
ReplyDeleteJust asking??? I will be ever so happy to donate just to be able to learn from you.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and Your Family
We have already moved all the USTREAM videos (over 600!) to the new format. :)
DeleteI hope it is a great success
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gela! :)
DeleteI can't wait to start off the New Year in the New classroom. It's going to be a lot more Enjoyable watching live classes!
ReplyDeleteI am excited, too, Dawn! I think it will be so much more enjoyable for everyone, too!
DeleteKathryn will your new broadcasting also have a live chat? Can't wait to get rid of all the problems :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it will have a live chat! The new chat allows you to sign in through Facebook or even add a photo. :)
