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 document the stories of my youth and the great times I had with my family. Right now I am worried about keeping up with my girls books that I haven't taken the time to focus on my history.

I would love to document the strong connection I still feel with my mom even though she passed away when I was 15 and somehow teach my children something about her in the process. :) She was so great!

I would like to document my time in the "boys world" of athletics, back in my job before this one...telling my kids the little things, like I was the first woman ever to announce a college football game in Texas. The story of traveling with all the guys, and having to tell them which girl in the girly magazine had fake or real ones; Traveling all over the country and meeting some of the greatest people. Getting to be at great games, and doing some really fun and funny things...it would be great!

I would really like to document about myself and sister growing up. My mom wasn't the best at it (and of course my dad was involved as many dad's were back then - hardly!) and I have some photo's but do have a memory still of things and would like to get them all down before it's too late!
Thanks!!

I would love to document the friendship of five particular friends since we were in grade school to now; how are lives have grown and developed and remembering the moments we shared! Seriously, I think it could be made into a movie...but baby steps first!! This class would help me organize my thinking and simply remember those special friends!

Hmmm... Where would I begin? Maybe the stories of my brother and I growing up... Or maybe the connections between us and our grandparents... or all of the funny one sentence triggers we have today that remind us of a certain event when we were growing up. Or maybe my life TODAY. I have a few ideas, just not sure where to begin!! Thanks, Ali. This is so cool.

As I embark on my journey to 40, I would like to document what I call Flirting with 40. I am interviewing friends, family members, co-workers and even strangers (all women) to get their views on turning 40 and what aging really means to them now.
