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.

The first that pops in my mind is one that took place 19 years ago: "Why not to exit a French metro in a tunnel"

I'd like to do layouts of myself and my hubby as children. I always scrap my kids and never myself. Hopefully one day I'll do me so that my kids will have my story one day.

I have been thinking about documenting the stories of my family that I can remember. All of my grandparents, and also my parents are gone. There has not been 'ancestors' to share the family stories with my children. I feel a need to document as much as possible for my children, and hopefully one day, my grandchildren. I would love to participate in the workshop to get the process started.

I want to tell the big picture story. How one generation did things that effected the next generation. I know that there is a ton of history on both sides of my family, but no one has actually documented it. It's sooo important, and I hope to do it justice.

I would like to document about my mother baking rolls and making crafts for our church's annual Country Fair that I grew up attending all my young life! It was such a GREAT warm memory of a "simpler" time to me! Suzie

I would document all the little quirks from my childhood that my children seem to share. For example, I swear I'm a hillbilly at heart....I hate to wear shoes !!! And now as soon as my kids get inside.... (2y/o and 3y/o) the first thing they do is take off their shoes. It drives my husband crazy, as his feet have never touched the ground !! He always has on shoes except for the beach !!!

My teen years. It's a time that would be fun to document and look at how much my views on just about everything have changed.

I would like to document the lack of conectedness I feel with my extended family. Wierd, huh ! We grew up just the four of us (mum, dad, brother and I) with very little contact with any other family members. Then I married into a HUGE family, and helped my husband's grandfather research his family history - something my mother has always put me off doing in ours (too many skeletons, apparently!). My aunt and my mother have just found a huge box of family photos and spent time reminising - stuff I had never heard ! I look at these photos and it's like they don't belong to me - something I find very sad. My DD is now part of a massive extended - and close - family. I want to remind her how connected she is. Thanks for the opportunity, Ali, it's sure to be an inspiring class !
