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 want to document my childhood including the many wonderful Summers I spent on our Swim Club's swim team. I grew so much as a person gaining confidence and recognition for all my hard work.

I would really like to capture my grandfather's life. He barely finished grade school, but was a genius with machines. He even made his own merry-go-round for his kids to ride, and my kids still ride on it today. He's living with only one working artery and I'd really like to do something about him and be able to show him how proud I am to be his granddaughter.

I want to document the special relationship my mom and I had while I was growing up, especially in middle school and into high school. That is the kind of relationship that I want when my daughter is that age.

I have lost both parents in the last 18 months. I now have boxes and boxes of family photos and no idea how to start...or even who some of the people in the photos are...and I have no one to ask since the people that know are no longer around.
Would LOVE to take your class...just not in the budget.
Thanks for your daily inspiration!

I would like to document about one day 15 years ago when I completely changed the path of my life--apologetically left an interview, quit my job, decided to go back to school (already had a bachelor's in an area I thoroughly did not enjoy), broke up with my 6 year co-dependent boyfriend, and made plans to move. A day that I did everything I needed to do just for me without worrying about the reactions of others.

I would like to document my experience as a child picking and shelling buckets and buckets and buckets of fresh peas with my grandparents and aunts, and then watching them blanch and bag the peas for the freezer.
I would love to win a spot in your class! Thanks for the opportunity.

As a girl I grew up in a forces family - the constant moving around turned me into a shy little girl who never felt like she belonged any where - this is something that still upsets me even as a 40 year old woman - maybe getting it down on paper would help me accept and understand the person I am today. Thank you !

One of the stories I would tell is the story of how I came to spend my third Christmas in 1974 in a WWII quonset hut out on the snow covered tundra in remote Alaska and why Santa was delayed in delivering my presents.

I would like to (and have been meaning to) document my journey living with lupus. I was diagnosed at a pivotal time of my life when I was supposed to be plotting out my career.
