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'd like to document memories of my grandmother who passed away a few years ago. I can't help but think of her each time I prune my rose bushes or pick apples from my tree - she taught me so much about gardening.

I want to document my grandparents. I was left all the black and white photos of them after they passed and I have been soooo scared to scrap them. I love your style and how you tell the story and I think if I won this class then I would have the courage to FINALLY scrap them. Thanks to you both for the giveaway!!

My mother and father divorced when I was two and I've never known my mother. I have been looking for her and want to document my search and, hopefully, her story once I find her.

I'd like to document some of my Grandma's history. She was always such a story teller and all the grandkids loved listening. She left us with a book with stories of her childhood and young adult life along with some old pictures. I would love to document it by putting it all together.

Sounds like a great class!
I'd like to document growing up with my three siblings, 2 of whom have special needs. I really wouldn't be who I am today without them. There were a lot of unique experiences, but there were also so many "normal" things that I want to remember.

I just received a really big book of photos of my father's side of the family. The photos range from before I was born to now, but none of the photos have any captions or descriptions. I would like to pick out the photos that call to be written about and focus on those stories. Also, it was astonishing to me how much my son looks like me when I was his age. It would be fun to do a comparison of our photos.

This may sound a little crazy since I have lots to document as I'm sure most scrapbookers do, but I would like to document my jewellery box. Not a ton of items or expensive but all the items in my jewellery box have a special meaning whether it be the reason I received the item or why the person who gave it to me is so special to me. As a little girl I loved looking through my mothers jewellery box and hearing her stories.

I'd like to document the emotions and the decision process I've taken to decide what to do for what I am referring to as the second half of my life. I'm 34 years old, I am returning to college and getting my teaching degree.
And there are so many others but this past summer has really been a turning point in my life and years down the road I know my daughter is going ask why, how, when, and really?

Growing up my Mom kept all our family pictures piled in a drawer, I remember one of me holding our new german shephard puppy Princess, who grew to be a dog that my brothers & I loved. I would like to tell the story of how Princess was a part of our family, where she came from, how she got her name, etc.

I want to document the story of performing in my life--how my parents nurtured that from when I was just a toddler, and how my need to perform on stage might have been the biggest influence on me.
