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 took my children back to my home country for the first time last year. Loved taking shots of them doing things and going places that I did when I was their age.

The story is "Church Candy" and I've been dying to do this layout for a long time.

The moments that I wish I could just forget, but then maybe I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

I'd love to take you BPS class so that I can document how my best friend found me a prom date when mine got sick. I was playing in a softball tournament and had no idea what was going on. She found me THE best looking date at the prom AND he danced!

I would actually like to document the little stories that my parents have told - about the cat my dad had for a year, about the first time my mom had blueberries or took a train. And these stories come up so randomly I can't get all the details.
Thanks - Melissa F.

I would like to document finding again the people that mattered to me when I was a teenager and compare-and-contrast that with my own teenage daughter's experiences right now.

My mom recently gave me all the old family photo albums, and in one I found a photo of my father as a little boy living in an American Japanese-internment camp. I want to tell the story of Executive Order 9066, and how it impacted the lives of my dad and his family. So my children will realize and appreciate the very privileged life that they are living.

I'm on a weight-loss journey right now and that's definitely a story I'd love to write and remember, so that I'll never be back where I am now...

My fingers are crossed... I'd love to win a spot in your class.
I'd like to document my personal goals and dreams... I think if I write them down - and focus on the process of deciding which ones are most important to me - then they might seem more attainable.

I need to tell my children how the painful things I went through in my childhood helped to make me the strong, confidant woman I am today in a way that is truthful, sincere and heartfelt without dishonouring those people who inflicted most of the hurts.

I would love to document the relationship I had with my grandparents growing up. I only have 1 left now and I really need to start getting the stories down before I start to forget.
