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.
Want to know more? Additional details, an audio introduction, and registration can be found here. Registration will close on October 7.

I have been blessed with a ton of childhood memories. I remember so many details, even though I'm number three out of four. I'd like to pick some of these memories, like making magic colored milkshakes, get my three sisters memories in there own words, and get them written down and captured. That would be awesome.

I'd love to tell stories from my childhood. I seem to remember bits and pieces ... so they all don't 'flow' but they're what I do remember!

I need to document NOW. I feel so sorry I have left it this long. My mother has dementia and every day I see her memory slipping away.But some days there's a ray of light and that's when we talk about the past. This album will have a very special meaning to me.

I would like to document the effect my mother has had one me as woman and mother. As I spend time with her as an adult I realize how much of her is in me and how truly blessed I am to have such a beautiful person in my life.

I would love to take the old letters that my parents and family wrote to each other while we lived in the middle east and use them in my pages along with stories and pictures. I am hung up on how to do this.

I would like to document how I've grown and changed since the birth of my daughter and dealing with her special needs and illnesses. The strength that I never knew was there and the support from my family.

A story I would really love to document is on how having parents who were refugees impacted on my childhood life. Sometimes (especially when I am down) I probably focus too much on the negative parts but I am thinking a course like this would help me to also see the positives. It would also be a fantastic record for my children.
