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 document my rocky relationship with my dad. He was a SAHF when I was little, so I have tons of memories. As he's now dying of cancer, getting these stories down soon really ought to move up my to-do list, alas he's going thru one of his not speaking to me phases. :/

There are many stories I would like to capture. I'd like to re-tell some of the stories from my childhood memories along with my parents, get a their view vs. my view. I need to do it soon too, while I am lucky enough to still have them in my life.

I am originally from Israel, which is sometimes a tough place to live in. A few years ago I have had a life changing experience. I had been touched by terrorism and was saved, only to lose an amazing person to the same cold blooded terrorist a week after.
For years I have not shared this memory with anyone but my closest friends and family members. This year I started to open up and I would like to take this opportunity and dig deeper into this awful summer day, 8 years ago.

Stories from my growing-up years. My own grandmother wrote out her childhood stories for me & they are such a treasure! I want to have the same thing for my kids & grandkids.

WOW! this sounds like such an amazing class!! i still don't know where to start for scrapping my wedding and honeymoon. i've had a box of all the memorabilia and a memory card with the photos, but just don't know how best to put it all together. I'd love to do that, especially with hubby deploying soon overseas.

I would love to document the soul searching and change I went through after my first marriage ended 9 months after the wedding. I'd love to revisit the strength and overall peace I finally found in figuring out who I was on my own. This happened 15 years ago.

This class would give me the impetus to capture in words the faith my grandparents showed in the struggles of their life, like the devastating fire that burned all their family photos (luckily they were given photos from other relatives, but very few).

I would love to document my 1st birthday. The story goes that my grandfather was attempting to show me how blow out the candle and eventually I got fed up and grabbed the flame with my fingers. I of course got burnt...the photo of me screaming in pain and my grandfather leaning over me is priceless.
