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 love to document some of the stories from my childhood to share with my son one day. I'd like to scrapbook my relationships with my sister, mom, and dad. I don't think I've ever done that-- how can that be when they are such an important part of my life?

I would love to share the story of my journey as a teacher, one I have shared with my mom and close friends. Teaching then and now. This class would be so awesome. I would love the chance to win as finances are tight right now due to a daughter's wedding coming up soon.

Three and a half years living in South Africa in the late 1970's including our family adventures. Those are some of the stories I would like to tell.

I am having a little girl after having three sons. . . I am naming her after my mom and my husband's grandmother that he never met. I would love to tell these important women's stories in meaningful insightful ways that my daughter will cherish forever.
Thanks Ali!

I would like to document my wedding...finally! I have a very vague "perfect" idea in my head and after several attempts, many tears and re-do's I've gotten exactly 2 pages done in 7 years! BTW I don't like them either!

Hi Ali, I don't have a very close relationship with my Dad unfortunately, time, distance, and opinions have always got between us. For me I think using this class to document the good times between us would be a really healing journey for me and a reason to see the good :)

I would like to figure out how to document the story of the how I came to my current worldview/life philosophy...to make it more personal and relatable to my children to understand when they're grown. :)

Growing up as the child of parents in their 40s, and then having them gone too soon and my kids not knowing them - definitely not sure how to approach this one! :)
Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi Ali! I would love to document my journey into motherhood - the months leading up to my first pregnancy, the things I learned during that pregnancy, the rocky start I had with my son, and how he taught me to love like a mother (so that my second baby was much easier!) . Thanks for the great giveaway :)

As a child, riding my red plastic horse "Champ" of the stairs and onto the garage floor. Ouch!

I, too, would like to document stories from the past that only I can tell and remember. I have such an incredible memory (like a memory of being a baby and looking up at my mom from my crib) and I really, really need to document them before those memories start to fade. Thank you in advanced for this class and the chance to make that happen in a structured environment. :)

I would like to document stories from my childhood. I'm taking Cathy Z's class right now and am discovering I'm remembering stuff that I should probably document somewhere!
Thanks for the chance, Robin

I would like to document the stories from my childhood and my husband's childhood as my children keep asking questions about what we did as kids.
