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.

I want to tell the story of preparing for my first child to leave home. This is his senior year, my last year with him at home - an exciting story to tell. To be able to attend this class would be a story in itself! This is such a generous opportunity you are sharing.

I would like to focus on all the anecdotes and stories that we tell over and over (and seem to change over time).

This would be a great opportunity to document my grandmother's life in Finland during World World II.
She has stories about food rations, smuggling food, getting married during grandfather's night off from the army etc.

I'm already signed up for this class and am so very excited for it to begin and to get all the stories from my childhood down on paper! Good luck to everyone who's in the drawing for a spot--if, by some crazy twist of fate, my name is pulled, please, Ali, award it to another person so they may take part in this most worthwhile class, too!

I would love to document my grandparents story of raising my sister and me. I think it is important for my family to know what a sacrifice my gparents made to raise me and what a difficult choice that was for my father as well.

i'd love to document a story about my connection to my youngest brother -- he is the baby in the family and we were very close when we were younger (and still are, thankfully).

I haven't begun to look at or scrap my childhood and would love to do so, especially all of our family camping and fishing together.
