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 love flowers and started flower arranging about 15 years ago. I knew my grandparents were farmers on Long Island but what I didn't know was that my Grandmother's family grew roses and even supplied President Roosevelt's summer home in L.I. with them! So I'd like to document those hidden connections that may not be visible on the surface but you find once you dig deep enough. Thanks for a chance to win.

Wow, this class sounds amazing! My husband & I just returned from a long weekend getaway (kiddos @ G'ma's house!) & I realized while talking to him on this trip all the silly/fun/crazy memories from my childhood that he didn't even know about after 11 1/2 years together. I'm a slow scrapper & the time I do get I dedicate to my kids' stuff but am realizing how much I'd enjoy documenting MY story too...family vacations, summer swimming, gardening w/ my Dad, building "forts", weekly chores (how my brother would PAY me to do his share), my love of reading,.....you get the idea?

My Mom's 65th birthday is next spring. I've been thinking about how I might approach creating an album in her honour - as a gift. I have never scrapped 'heritage' photos and I think your class might be just the inspiration I need to get going.
I would LOVE the chance to join you and the others in your journey.
Thanks,
~J

I'd like to document the story of being named after a woman who helped care for my father in the USO coffee and doughnut cafe as he fought the Nazis in France in WWII. I have bits and pieces of the story and I do have photos of me meeting her and of my mom and dad returning to France to meet her and her husband. I'd like to have a cohesive whole to the narrative.

I would love to document the story of my teens when I had big dreams and goals and what I did to accomplish what I thought I would be doing for the rest of my life. It is a piece of me that I want my kids to know about.

As depressing as it may sound, I really want to document our experience with surviving a house fire. It's proven to be a huge turning point in our lives and want my children, and generations after them, to know the story of how well or not so well at times we dealt with the loss.

My sisters. It's such a huge part of my heart I haven't known quite how to approach it yet.

I would love to document my relationship with my father who passed away 11 years. He was so seldom in front of the camera so any picture of him is particularly dear to my heart.

I am working on an album of my mother's life from birth to now age 84. I really think if I don't win this slot, I need to sign up for your class. I am sorry to say that I felt like I got burned the last time I took a BPS class that I paid a lot of money for so it makes me hesitant to sign up.

I would live to tell about my relations ship with my dad. He lost his battle with cancer 3 years ago and I haven't done enough to save our memories together

I would like my family to know how much I love them by contrasting my growing up years with theirs, and how I have built on my childhood experiences to make sure they get as much of me as I can give them.
