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 like to document my mother's life in a special album like this for our family and my son in particular. She passed away last year from alzheimer's. I think this would be a great way for my son to be able to remember her as he was only three years old.

Hi Ali.
You are making me realize there are so many things I "need" to document. - My childhood health issues - How I met and fell in love with "Dad" - My Spirituality - and my Mommy thoughts that the kids may need as they have kids as well.
Sounds like a great class! Thanks for the chance to win!

The story I need to share is the one about the delivery of our metal building and the problems getting an 18 wheeler back to the highway a mile away when he could not turn around. Hairy!

Oh, I would love this class. I have some amazing photos of my grandparents (& great grandparents) who were born at the turn of the century (1900, not 2000 of course!). My mother was the youngest of 14 - so I never knew my grandfather & my grandmother died when I was 16. They immigrated from what is now Slovakia. I would love to capture my memories, recipes & imagine the stories they experienced as they traveled from Slovakia without their wives to find work as coal miners in West Virginia & Pennsylvania. I want to highlight the different life options available to my grandmother (who was married at 14), my mother, myself and my daughters (over 100 year span of time).

I want to document MY feelings and reflections as I am going through this adoption process. I cannot remember what it is like to be without this child, so I want to get it down, to be able to reflect on with him and alone in the years to come.

One of the stories I want to document is the bond I shared with my Dad through boating. He bought a boat when I was 10 and I spent many weekends for many years with him on the boat. It was a special time.

I would love to document the connection I had between my Nan and me... and also about our beloved cat Oscar who died in May, I want to get out what I feel instead of it being locked up inside of me.

My son just left for college. And I realized I'm getting older. So I want to document the stories of my parents and grandparents for the next generation. My Mom and her mom passed away within a year of each other so we have stories that are lost... I want my kids to know our story is part of their story.
