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'd love to document the story behind my name. While not a very unique name, how my parents arrived at it is a cute story that I'd like my kids to know.

I would like to document my being the only sister to my 4 brothers. Your class sounds great and would be a chance for me to step out of my scrapbooking comfort zone.

I've only been married for 2 years, but I would like to document our (me and my husband)journey. We now have a little boy, and I am keeping up with his scrapbook, but I just can't seem to organize US. We have changed so much, and I know we'll change again.
Thanks!

There is, in particular, a story from my parent's early married life when they had very little money. At one point they were short on groceries, but rather than worry, they decided to pray and trust that their loving Heavenly Father would care for them. To their great surprise they won a whole ham and additional food as well from a local grocery store. I love stories of God's faithfulness and care for us!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

The memories and moments that really form the foundation of who I am. I just heard a quote - "you are who you were when" - I'd like to tell that story.

All my scrapbooking has been of my adult life. I would love to scrapbook and capture the story of my wonderful childhood. I feel blessed to have a wonderful sister and to have grown up in a wonderful family and would love to document that! Thanks for a chance to win.

I would like to figure out how to share some stories about the turning points in my life. If I could share my teen angst, my fashion blunders, my feelings of trepidation upon graduating from college, the moments when I felt really great or really awful about my parenting skills--those moments would be the stories I think my kids would connect best with. That would be a better legacy, I think, than just showing them all the glossy moments of victory and rites of passage one tends to scrap.
