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.

My subject is: my mom and a single parent. How she taught me to be kind, stick up for myself, work hard, and be the best person I can be.
Thanks for the chance at your class Ali!!

My twin died shortly after our birth. I want to tell how that story has affected me and my family. Of course I have no memory of it as I was a newborn, but all of my sibiling (I am 7 of 8 surviving), and especially my mother were deeply scarred. Along with that I want to document my 4 miscarriages. They, too, profoundly affected me, but, now, years later, it is subject that I rarely get to talk about, but is still painful.

I will partially document how much daily life has changed. From the way my grandparents lived and the intellectual growth of this generation. My children study in High School- courses we took in college. Although life in essence does not change the technology and access to information is astounding now. We truly can be whomever we choose to be.

Not too many stories about me in my scrapbooks so I think first I would document my love of gardening and how that became an interest of mine! After reading E. Dillow's post yesterday on Write Click Scrapbook I am rethinking my priorities in general and this workshop seems to come at the right time!

I'd love to record how for vacation we would help my dad on an old-fashioned cattle drive. We would herd the cattle for about a week to summer pasture in the mountains. Lots of fun when you're a kid.

The first I thought about when you I asked my self a story I would like to document is when I was in 8th grade I won a basketball free throw contest at school and went on to compete against others in other schools. My dad was SO PROUD of me. so proud. I didn't win the regional competition, but did win a spot to be a runner in a Portland Trailblazer game and be under the basket during the game. I will always remember that (even though I'm 35 now) and connect it with my love for not only basketball but my love for the Trail Blazers! :)

Wow, what a great class! In thinking what I would like to document in a story...I would somehow like to reflect on my relationships with my family members (siblings, parents). I think that would be so fun to think about each family member and actually put it into a book.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I would like to document the stories of the women in my family. I would like my daughters to understand where our family struggles originated and how different or similar things are now. Ally, your class sounds very interesting. Thank you, for a chance to win a spot.

This looks like a fabulous workshop. All of the old family photos have been given to me and this workshop would be perfect for getting the stories and photos documented.
Thanks Ali for the giveaway!

way I grew up and my kids and the same or different thing we do with their growing up stuff.

My granny had a brain aneurysm when I was 10, and lived another 20 years in a home, paralysed. Before that, she played golf and was an avid gardener, a real lady. I'd like to compile a book as a tribute to her, both for me and my mom.
