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 more about my school years! I had such a fun childhood growing up in a small town where everyone knew everyone else. It would be fun to get some of those stories on paper!

I would like to document the stories I have heard about my grandmothers' lives, and my personal memories of them. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but somehow, for a variety of reasons, never made the time to do. I am realizing how important it is to write them down before the memories are lost.

If I were able to be in this class I would document the many wonderful things, and more importantly, people, in my life. I would want to have a record of how important these things are so there was never any doubt that they were loved.

I am a Los Angeles girl now, and have been for 25 years. But I grew up on a rural farm, building our own house, using a pump and sometimes an outhouse, making butter, milking cows, catching snakes with a stick. My friends and my kids would never believe it and this would be great documentation.

The timing of this post is amazing to me. I was just thinking yesterday how I would love to document my journey of faith. There have been so many twists and turns and I want to remember them all - and share them with my future generations to, hopefully, strengthen their faith as well.

I would love to but together a story of my childhood. It wasn't all that good growning up. It was a matter of fact very hard, but I know in my heart I have some good memories to and I would like to do a scrapbook on them to help me move on in my life and to know the reasons why I gave my children such a different life then I ever had.

Write about and document (with what pictures I have) how being born to an unwed 19 yr. old shaped and formed who I am today. Could be a difficult project, but I think it would be transformative in many ways.
Thanks for inspiring!
