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 like to document my relationships with my grandparents.
All but one are gone now. I'd like to get it all down before I forget the little details of our time together.

My relationship with my brother and all the funny things he did and said when he was little. Hopefully it will be a way for us to reconnect. Thanks Ali!!

I have photos of my grandparents and would love to document them along with the memories I have of them. I'm not really even sure where or how to start.

I would love to document my cross-country running season in 9th grade. I came in last in every race. But I kept running so that my school would have a team so that a friend of mine, who was an awesome runner, could keep running at the state level and get noticed by college recruiters. It was just such a big learning experience for me.

I've already signed up and can't wait to begin!
I want to record my life. My Mum passed away nearly two years ago and there's so much I don't know about her life. I don't want my kids feeling that saddness.
Thanks Ali, can't wait!

Hi Ali,
After years of dealing with kidney problems, my husband donated a kidney to me. I would love to document my journey through all this. I am doing well now and would like to have a retrospective look at my time dealing with this and coming through to a positive outcome.

Thanks for the giveaway, Ali!
I would like to tell (my future children) the story of my childhood. My parents were never happy and we were rarely happy as a family. I would like to share these stories with my children but in the most neutral and comfortable way possible.

I would love to document the move my family made when I was ten. It really changed everything for us. It was such a huge transition, but oddly enough it seemed to work without a glitch. I've always thought was unusual for a child that age. I hardly think about life before the move, and it would be so interesting to scapbook the "pre-move" pics now. Thanks Ali for this chance!!

Hi Ali, Since I got Lupus last year I have lost a lot of my memories and I would really love to do your class so I could focus on doing an album on myself and document the memories I do have before I lose those ones too, so that those memories are still here for my children once I am gone.

The subject about me that I'd like to document is my spiritual connection because of my (two) heritage. There definitely is a story to tell! I hope I get a chance to win and attend your class--thanks for the chance!
