Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway
Tags:
In just one week my new workshop begins at Big Picture Scrapbooking:Yesterday & Today.
It's hard to believe it is almost finally here.
And in case you didn't know already, you're invited to join me.
Here's what I want you to know if you are still considering embarking on this journey with me:
• With a focus on the stories from yesterday & the stories from today, this class is really an in-depth look at the way I scrapbook.
• Each week (on Thursdays) you will receive an email inviting you to the classroom where a video presentation will be waiting for you to access on your own time (you do not need to be online at a certain time - it's just one of the awesome things about Big Picture's classroom set-up). These video presentations are not just a 5-15 minute talk about the subject and the layout - so far they are averaging around an hour. During that hour my goal is to inspire you to take a look at the way in which you scrapbook and encourage you to focus on the things that matter most to you within the framework of the theme for that week.
• In addition to the video presentations there are weekly video tutorials showing my processes for concepts and techniques using Photoshop Elements.
• For those of you, like me, who like to actually read the weekly content there will be a color PDF download detailing the concepts and information covered in the video presentation (as well as a how-to for the weekly project).
• Each week there will be a digital element download and a digital layered template (all new). The digital elements will be used as printables (hybrid elements) on the weekly layout and the layered template will match the paper layout I create for each week.
• Even if you will be away for a time during the class you will still have access to the materials.
• The class will have it's own message board & gallery for sharing and communicating with one another (including me).
• This workshop is a chance for you to:
investigate your past through words + photos
do something meaningful with older photos if you have them (or to tell those stories that have meaning even if you don't possess the photos)
tell your own personal stories of success + challenge + growth
work on embracing imperfection & going with the flow
celebrate your everyday life + make sure you are capturing stories that are meaningful to you today
connect with other people who care deeply about collecting + celebrating the stories of their lives
• The cost for this 13 week class is $99.
I am really, really excited for this workshop to get underway.
I hope to see you there.

Wow, would I love to win this! I have a neurological disease that has caused me to be progressively more disabled, and it is one of the only topics I've never scrapped.

My family relationships. Documenting us as a family unit and the things we do together. I'd also like to get into the digital scrapbooking a bit more too. I'd love to take your class. Thanks for the chance to win.

Simply put, I would like to document the stories of my childhood, and create connections between those stories, and my stories of who I am today. Thank you for the giveaway!

I am one of five children. 4 girls and 1 boy. My mom was always sewing, crocheting or just doing crafts in general. I remember before every holiday, my mom and all of us would go to a long gone store-Weindrops and pick a pattern and the material we wanted for the holiday. My mom was/is a procrastinator so the night before the big days, we would try on our dresses for the final fitting and we always had to be careful of the pins still in the fabric. A lot of times, we would all wear the same dress, same fabric and she would make my brother pants and vests that matched us. I have lots of photos of us standing in front of the house or by the tree all dressed in homemade, matching clothes. I never want to forget those days of watching her sew for hours and her letting me play in her buttons.

I am so bad at journaling and putting words to photographs. There are so many things that I've gone through that although minor in the grand scheme of things really helped me become who I am today.
I would like to document my relationship with my mom, my scare with breast cancer, things I've learned, and my new path to find God and his purpose for my life.
Thanks!!

Pretty personal, but ... my very unconventional (and definitely disfunctional) childhood, which involved my dad being married to two women at the same time. (We are not mormon.) Not your typical story, but definitely a part of me, and there was a lot of love, too. Can't forget that.

I think I most want to tell the story of moving and living in many places around the world as an Air Force dependant.

I really would like to document my childhood. I remember all the places I lived in (I am an Army brat), but I hardly remember my childhood. I wish I could tell what was my dream job, my favorite game and so on. I think it would help me reconnect with myself as I am trying to define my personnel mission statement and feel more in line with my true self for the future! Does your class include hypnosis sessions to get back in time?
Cheers

I would like to document my lifelong relationship and friendship with my maternal grandmother, who I miss very much. I think I might be able to scan some pictures from my Mom's photo album to help with this.

The story of my namesakes. I am the youngest of six girls and my mother had a hard time coming up with another name for a girl but she did and I think I want my family to understand why she chose those names for me.

I would like to find a way to tell the story of my many moves since I left home at 18 up until now. It would be so great to chain those moments together and reflect on where they have brought me.

I really want to document our honeymoon to Italy. It was such an amazing trip - definitely the highlight of our lives. I've been putting it off because it just seems to be such a big project to tackle and I want to do it just right. Well, we are coming up on our 10 year anniversary, so it woud be great if i could get the story told in time for that event.
