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.

Thanks Ali, this is an awesome giveaway. I've been documenting some of my stories in CZ's current class. In your class I think I'd like to focus on some of my husband's stories. There is no better gift to hand down than the stories that make us who we are in life.

A story about myself? I think I need to document the story of marrying my high school sweetheart. Haven't touched that one yet. And we just celebrated our 24th anniversary.

I would like to document how much I am like my birth mother although she didn't raise me (she passed away when I was 6 weeks old). Her younger sister raised me with her family. Now that I am a mother she tells me that I am a lot like her---unmade bed, dirty dishes in the sink and I'm off doing something with the family, putting together economical elaborate birthday parties, never saying no when asked to volunteer at my children's schools. That's what I would like to document if I take this class.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I want to document growing up with my siblings, playing with our toys, playing with all our animals and sharing time with our wonderful mother and father! I have such amazing memories of my childhood. I really want to get it on paper so my daughters can read them some day.

I would like to document the different places I lived as a child. My dad was in the USAF, and we moved a lot. It would be neat to have all those pics and memories in one spot to help me see how it made me the strong woman I am today.

With Halloween on the way, I've been thinking it would be fun to document all of those "about to head out to trick-or-treat" pictures from my childhood...
**fingers crossed** I want to WIN SO BAD!!!

Thank you, Ali! There's sooo many "to-do's" but one example would be that I'd like to document the meaning of the Japanese traditions that I grew up with so my kids will know more about their heritage...

I would like to document my recent journey with breast cancer. Diagnosed earlier this year at age 37, told I would have to give up work for 12 months so I could focus on treatment and healing, but really wanted to focus on how this could be a beautiful time with my two daughters (aged 6 and 3) and my fabulous husband.

One of the stories I want to document most is my road to being happy with myself and who I really am, not wanting to be someone else. Thanks!

A story I would like to share about myself. What I want people to know. My love for school and being a child of divorced parents who tried hard to make the best of a not quite good situation.
Ali, I just came up from our basement where I dug out every photo I have. Even a few magnetic albums. Me, from a peek in the boxes, in high school, meeting my husband...waiting to be scanned and documented.
Thanks for the inspiration!
