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 would like to archive a box of photos and mementos my mom has as gift for Christmas. She has so many stories about these amazing people who were gone before I was born. My family is very small and every story is precious to us.

I really want to document my childhood memories and traditions, so that my children will know what it was like then as opposed to now. I also would like to document ME! I always leave me out of the picture.

Thank you Ali for this great opportunity! I'm registering for the class whether I win one or not.
My mom just handed me a box full of photos from my birth throughout my childhood. I need a framework and some inspiration on what to do with all these photos and how to find the stores to tell. I'm really interested in capturing my parent's thoughts and our lives during this time - they are so very different from my life and my children's lives right now.
Thank you!

This is a very exciting opportunity! I'd like to focus on dance lessons. It was such a huge part of who I was growing up, and I want my kids to know that.

I would like to document the funny stories my parents have told us about the things that me, my sister, and my brother said as children. For example, the one about "Possums Don't Fly".

I really just want to scrap the little things about me growing up, schooling, fashion all the littles things that I am now going through with my daughter and she often says what was it like for you mum. I just think it would be a good way to share the good and the bad times about growing up.

i want to capture what it's meant to me to be a mom to my two sons for the past 17/16 years. One will graduate from high school next spring and the other will graduate the following year. I want to bridge some of the things they did as toddlers/preschoolers to things they do now, before I forget them all.

I would like to learn about my grandmothers. Both of my parents lost their moms when they were children-my dad was a young teen and my mom was barely 3 years old.

There was a moment when I was traveling a few years ago where I felt totally at peace with the world. I wrote the journaling a couple weeks ago and now I just need to put it together.
