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 love to document my son and his relationship with our younger dog. We call them our "2003 babies" because they were both born that year but there is some special bond between the two of them. It both cracks us up and aggravates the heck out of us (especially when the dog assumes anytime he gets food, she should get some too)!

I'm looking forward to taking time to talk about my grandfather. He was an incredible person and it's only now he's gone that I'm learning more about him as a person instead of just my grandfather. I'd love to write those stories down and use the pictures that I have. Ta!

I think I would like to document something about my childhood. I have NO scrapbook pages about being a kid (and only a few about me now).

My mom is the family "historian" but health problems have kept her from documenting much of this information. I want to use this class as a time for the two of us to work on getting the stories documented and spending quality time together before the stories are lost forever.

I really want to document my relationship with my mom and dad. It wasn't until I became a parent myself that I now realize how much they sacrificed for me.

I would like to document the story of my paternal grandmother who was told that her son died at birth and then she was shipped off to her sister who had just moved to America (from Ireland). This resulted in my father never meeting his mother and she never saw the child she gave birth to.

I'd love to document my college years -- marching band, sorority life, dorm living, etc. I have plenty of pictures and stories but would love some guidance to get started.

I want to document about my life growing up in a third world country where all the things kids here in the US take for granted. I want to document this so my children will learn to appreciate what they have.

Ok so every since I heard your class announced, I have known one of the stories I wanted to document. I am not sure it counts as about me though. About 2 months before the class was announced I asked my Nan how she came to meet my Pop, and how it was that he came to Australia from France. It has always been a fact I knew in my life but I knew I wanted details to be able to pass onto my children. So now I am inspired to write this story and more. And I guess another story I would like to write about myself is the technology in my life growing up, compared to the technology now. I still can't get past my four year old playing games on an iphone! Can't wait for class to begin!

I would love to tell the stories of the different places I've lived, along with the different places my mom lived- we both moved around as kids, and I'd like to connect the two together.

I would love to be able to tell the story about the many wonderful childhood memories I have with my grandparents. They live in California and I live in Texas so I rarely get to see them anymore. It would be really cool to get some of those stories documented and be able to give them a copy also!
