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 love to document the little stuff. The things we do on a daily basis that seem so silly but explain who we ARE! I also have some wonderful stories from my dad growing up about the grandpa I never knew that make me laugh that I want to pass on to my son. FInally, my in-laws have lived in a historic home for their entire 43 years of marriage and they always have stories about it (an old huge bell they dug up in the yard that belonged to the estate; old sheds full of treasures; how much the area has changed and their family has changed too!) I want future generations to be able to hear those stories! **I obviously have a lot of ideas and would need to narrow down, but I love love love family history and feel like I am the ONE in our family who will make an effort to document (which I think is SOOO important.)
Here's to hoping and wishing I can take your class!!! Thank you for all you do and inspire OTHERS to do!
=) Amelia

I grew up without a father figure-I'd like to explore the affect it had on me from little girl to womanhood.

I want to record how my youngest brother got his nickname of Bruiser, my phobia about roaches (shudder), the time one sister chased another through the front yard...with the car!, how my oldest nephew, as a toddler, insisted on going to bed for several months with a single green sock on and always on his right foot, my middle sister's extreme fear of flying insects and all the funny things that happen when she runs from them, the history of our Christmas stockings...made by my mother and I the year before she passed away and added to by me for every new spouse and child, and so many more other stories that make our family special!

What a great give away!
I would like to document the stories of my parents and their childhoods. They have some great stuff to share. From Mom riding through the burger joint on horseback to Dad stopping at ever historical marker in the state on family vacations! Such good stuff!

I have so many stories I would like to tell. One example is about all the years I wished for a hockey stick for Christmas and never got one, because Santa didn't know. :)
The class looks fantastic!

I was a contestant on the Price is Right's 35 anniversary season. I got to kiss Bob Barker before he retired! Something I've wanted to do since I was 5 years old.

This may seem a bit maudlin, but I'd like to be able to write about the relationship between my best friend and I - she passed away six years ago in a car accident and I still haven't been able to sit down and write about her. Nothing really seems adequate. I need help!

The early years growing up with just my Mom and sister. We are very close. We live within minutes of each other and get together all the time. But, I haven't written down memories or scrapped the early years when it was just the three of us. My mom has a great box of photos so it's there, ready and waiting to be created!!
Thanks for this AMAZING giveaway Ali!
