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.

thanks for the chance to win. I would like to document my life as a mom and what it means to me so one day maybe my kids will realize how loved and happy i was to be their mom.

I've *told* the story a hundred times, but I've never documented the story of how my husband and I got together, from meeting and me not liking him (because he was in ROTC and I didn't want a military guy), through our being best friends for two years, up to being unable to deny it and our sudden change from best friends to an engaged couple! It will be our ten year wedding anniversary in March so I guess it's the perfect time to document the story now! :)

How fun! I would like to document my high school years. I haven't done anything with my tons of pictures and things from them and I know I need to. Plus, there are so many things I still remember about them and if I don't do something, I might forget! Thanks for the chance to win!

The class looks great, Ali, thanks for the chance to win. I'd love to expand a story I'm just beginning to try to tell: about my time on my grandparents' farm growing up.

I want to make sure to get some of my relationships down on paper - the next door neighbor girl, my second grade teacher, the dorky boy up the street. Thanks Ali and BPS!

There are many, but if I had to choose just one, it would be the births of my children. Not only were they both such incredible experiences in themselves, my children's births mark a new chapter in my life.
Thanks for the opportunity, Ali! I can't wait for this class.

I need to document everything. Most of my layouts contain photos and no journaling. I don't want my grandkids and their grandkids to look at my albums one day and wonder who are these people and what is their story.

I'd like to document my family tree....which is complicated at best with marriages, divorces, adoptions, yadda, yadda. Just going back two generations encompasses nine different families. I need help.

I'm pretty focused right now on the traits, gifts, etc. that connect my grandparents, parents, my generation, and my brother's kids. I'd like to show the links.

When my father-in-law had a stroke and moved out of his own hoome, I inherited three LARGE boxes of family pictures. No rhyme, no reason, very little in the way of descriptions of places or people. I have no real idea of how to begin...which is why I've been storing them through the last eight years and two moves.

I want my kids to know that the feelings and confusion and choices they have to make are also things that I also went through. That I was not just always a Mom and telling them what to do!

I would love to take this class! One story about me I want to document some day is my journey to having children. I never gave much thought to it when I was younger, just assumed some day I would have kids. Then I married a man who could not have children. We went on the rollercoaster ride of In-Vitro, and after 5 attempts and one miscarriage, we have 2 beautiful children, who are our biological children!

I would like to document the love and connection I feel for my grandparents' farm. I have the pictures, now I just need to get the words and emotions down!

My family's move from Cuba to American when I seven. It's a story that I would probably ask my Mom for help w/some of the stories, to make sure I get them correct.
