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 stories from my childhood- the kind that typically do not get documented. I would love an album or journal from my parents and grandparents about those sort of things. Sometimes just the little stories show how so much has changed.

I would like to document something about me that I want my daughter (now 4) to grow up knowing... something about my love for learning or maybe my volunteerism...

I want to document how my faith has grown this past summer...out of a relationship that broke up. It was the most painful experience I've ever had, because it was a relationship that I had desired so deeply for so long. But somehow, God worked His way through me, and I learned to call out for Him and ask Him to join me in my pain and take it away. And of course, all the other happy stories I've had along the way!

A story I would like to document would be all the memories of my Grandma. She is currently dying of cancer and I have been writing down all the memories I remember but I would love to have a spot for all these special times!

The story of how my husband and I met in one country, were friends for years, then transatlantic penpals for several years and then eventually how a proposal got us both back into the same timezone again. The letters live in a big box in a closet and that is no way to treat such a good story.

I would like to share the story of how I made the trip to the site of my Great-Grandmother's farm site in North Dakota where she lived almost one hundred years ago. I have her name as my middle name. I would love to tell that story on a scrapbook page.

I'd love to take the class!
One story I would love to share for my kids is my attempted kidnapping, when I was 10. It's something I rarely talk about, but has made me the way I am. (paranoid about my kids where abouts)
There are so many other ones too. Thanks for the opportunity to win the class!
