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.

Just yesterday I was looking at old albums of my family and my husband's family and thinking how it is time to revisit those pictures and take a new look at them from the perspective of time now.
would love the opportunity of working with you and hearing your wisdom on all this!

I would love to document the story of my childhood through stories from family members. What they remember about me, things I said, what I loved to do, how am I still that little girl, and how I have changed. I'd love to interview family members and lifelong friends for their stories to accompany pictures.

What a wonderful project idea!
I'd like to explore the things in my life that make me so connected to previous generations...for example, music, movies, art, etc from my mother's and grandmother's times appeal to me more than today's.

My mom is from another country and never thought she would have the opportunity to visit, let alone spend most of her adult life in the US. There are so many things I would like to document about her life growing up since she has limited pictures. I would also like to find a way to connect her growing up story with my own growing up story.

I've got so many I'd love to tell. But, I think the one that sticks out the most right now is the tight knit nature of my immediate family growing up. Four of us in a tiny little house with one bathroom....The challenges and the rewards of it all.

Thanks, Ali! You're such an inspiration. I would love to record some happy childhood memories; just me, my brother and my Mum.

I would like to document the special little stories that could so easily be forgotten - the origin of certain words and phrases we use in our family, like 'deter-minded', or why my brother called me 'Ear' for so long. Funny little details that make no sense to other people who don't know the background story!

Thank you for the opportunity...I would like to document my family's farm in Illinois and how my bothers and I were the fifth generation to grow up on that farm!

My dad's influence on my life and others... he died when I was in high school, and now I feel such a strong need to preserve those memories and to share them with my husband and kids who never had the chance to meet him. Thanks for this opportunity!

Hmm, I'm so busy thinking about my life now and my kids that I don't think about my scrapbooking my own childhood. Maybe our valentine's day bonfire and sled ride. Thanks for the chance.

I would really love to participate in this. There are stories about my childhood that need to be told. How my biological parents met in the airforce, how I was born in Germany at an airbase. How my mother left us when I was just four and my sister one. How my dad rose up to the occassion and raised us. How a wonderful woman entered my life and became my new mom. So many stories to tell and honestly, I don't know how. So yes, I could really use this class. Thanks for the chance.

I would like to document what I thought about myself, who I was and what my dreams were at 15, and what that looks like at 35. I'd probably learn a lot!
Thanks for the opportunity to turn the subject to ourselves, Ali. I very rarely do that in my scrapbooking - need to do it more.
