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 write and document about how I am always evolving and changing. Just last night I found some remnants of my life raising four young children. Since i had them each when i was very young, i marveled at how much my life has changed. Love to experience my own adventurous evolution. :)

The most important story I want to document well is this military life we are living. Moving every two years, all the odd places we have lived. I feel that I want to do a good job of this so that it can be almost therapeutic for my kids. Growing up in such a life can be adventurous for them, but it can also be a trial with a lot of loss of friends and family. A lot of saying "goodbye". I think if I can document it well, maybe later in life (or even now) it may seem less daunting to them and more of an adventure.

I want to document my grandparents. Have never ever scrapped about them. Really need to, as they are no longer with me.

i'd like to start my family history documentation properly. i've been researching for 10 years now but not sat down and sorted through or written up any of the stories or photos and how they all fit together to make my family what it is today.

OK, maybe this is TMI but I want to document the story around why I never wore a diaper/pants when I was a baby. I have great photos to go along with this.

There were abuse issues in my family growing up. I stopped talking to my parents in 1996 and just started speaking with them again this year. I'd like to tell the story of my feelings before, during and after the break of communication.

First off, I'd really like to take your class but I'm not entirely sure it's in the budget for me at this time of year with the Holidays just around the corner... I'd be tickled if I could win a spot in your class!
I have 5 daughters, three of which are triplets who are only 6 years old. When trying to explain to them how easy-going and carefree my childhood was in the 1970s, a scrapbook highlighting the playfulness of it all would be great! Don't know if it's just my own perception of it, but I just think kids today really have so much more to worry about than when I was a child...
Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in your class!

Thank you - I would like to document the special relationship I had and still have with little sister - thirteen years younger - She would cling to me when she was a baby - I loved it!

My grandfather (who passed away in 1999) was in the Navy and I have a box of old photographs of the ship he was on. He was in the Navy band and there are some cool photos of him with the band. We also have some video tapes (and audio tapes) of him telling "war" stories...and boy did he LOVE telling his stories!

Thanks Ali for this oppourtunity.
I would really love to document the timeline of my life. From birth to where I am now. Stories of the people I have met a long the way, about how my Husband and I met and our relationship, etc.
I think this class is a great idea!

Thanks Ali. I think stories from my childhood that I have not many photos from, and have never even tried to record. Your class will make it possible to remember and share many of these stories.
