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.

Moving to the U.S. for the first time 20 years ago when I was 12. I'd like my children and future grandchildren to know what growing up was like in my homeland and at the same time what it was like to be the new kid in town : )

I have already signed up and am soooo excited to begin. I really want to document some stories about my dad who divorced my mom when I was six (so I didn't see him much) and died when I was in college. I'll be gathering info from relatives and try to piece some things together. If I win, I'll give the class to my sister, who also loves you and loves to scrap book. :)

I want to document my relationship with my father, he died during an operation, the man of steel! I never thought I would loose him so soon. He had the best stories to tell of his childhood and growing up.

I would like to talk about Perseverance. How my dad taught me that you can not just lay down and die because something bad happened, you must persevere.

I would document about being a first time mom at age 38 (almost 39). It's been a wonderful journey so far but it is so wild to have high school and college friends who are now grandparents and my daughter is only 15!

When my children were young, after the bedtime story was read, there was always the inevitable "tell us a story about when you were a kid". I would like to document those...and those of my husband (and my father) who always got that request also.

So great that you're doing this course! I have a few significant stories that still needs to be told. One would be my wedding day. (Another my travels to 3rd world countries, if I can mention one more.)

I would like to document why I travel and how I've been able to do so much in my career. I'd also like to document how my brother was the "leader" during our childhood and how much fun he was - and is still now.
