Do you take paid classes online? Regularly or just on occasion? What are your favorites?

I've taken a couple but my favorites are the ones from Online Card Classes. They are reasonable and AWESOME! I just finished the latest one - Copics - and I learned more than I could have ever imagined. I am actually finally enjoying using my Copics! I've also take a couple of others - Stenciled, Watercoloring, Die Cutting... even though they are geared more for the card maker, I have been able to incorporate everything I've learned into scrapbooking too.

Yes, on occasion. I probably do one class a year. I've done a few at Big Picture Classes, I like taking Ali's classes, I've also done Jessica Sprague for some technique type stuff. It's usually to learn more about software or photography technique. I like Ali's classes on storytelling that are more about concept versus 'how to scrapbook'. I like the reflecting, journaling-type classes, where I can incorporate ideas into my process versus how to get x many pages done.

I've taken some of Kerri Bradford's classes, which are focused on all the stuff you can do with your Silhouette. I found them very helpful and my Silhouette skills have drastically improved.

I've taken only one class. It was from Studio Calico. I really liked it, but I found I just didn't have the time to get the weekly challenges done. I've been tempted by a couple more, but my experience with the first has made me class-shy. Luckily it was only $5 and what I got from the class as far as material goes was more than $5 so it was worth it anyway. I would totally do it again if I had the time though! Super fun to get inspiration and chat with other people in the class.

I second Online Card Classes Copic class being worth every penny. I've taken almost ever class they offer and have loved every one of them. But the Copic class, that was in another league.

I've taken several of Kathy Orta's classes online and liked them.

I love Online Card Classes as well. I have not made it all the way through the copic class yet but loved what I have made it through. It has a ton is content and Kristina Werner and Jen McGuire are true pros. I have two other classes from them as well and they are all great. I really wish the would come up with a class for scrapbookers despite the "card" name or maybe a lesson with each class showing how some of the techniques can be used in scrapbooking or PL...
I have taken several Studio Calico classes and I have liked most of those. They are usually cheaper than BPC and sometimes include a physical kit and usually include digital items. With all that, they are definitely worth the price. They also have a super easy to navigate website. I really have not regretted purchasing any of those. The only thing I wish is that their classes had more videos. I do love the videos in Online Card Classes...

I can vouch for Kerri Bradford's classes on the Silhouette. I can now use mine with confidence!
Shimelle's classes are a great value. I learn so much from her! Looking forward to her next class and Wilna's next class. I haven't taken any of Wilna's online classes but her youtube videos are wonderful.
