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 love to document my "grown up story". The details of the choices, options and mistakes I've made in my life before i had a family (3 kids). I think it's important for my kids to know that everyone, including their mom, faces lots of crazy things in a life well lived!

I would love to do something about my story. Having been a journalist, I am always telling others people's stories but it would be nice to sit down and really focus on me.
Awesome giveaway!

The subject of my story would be,"Chipper"...the pet squirrel I had when I was a child. I have told this story a million times to my boys because they couldn't believe that my parents allowed me to keep a squirrel. They loved hearing about Chipper's antics and felt sad about how I cried the day I had to give him up. It's a great story and I think it is time for me to document it.

I would love to be able to take your class. As we approach the end of this year, I have started to reflect on all the changes 2009 has brought. We have had some really hard trails starting in December last year and carrying into this year, but what a difference a year makes. I would love to document what I feel now and compare/contrast that to how I felt in the midst of trials just one year ago. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the class.

I need to document more stories about me, in general. I've always scrapbooked our travels, and now that we have a baby, it seems like every page is focused around her (not that there's anything wrong with that;)) I need to document my life now, and my history, not only for myself, but for my daughter to have something to look back on and know more about her mom.

It would mean a lot to me to be able to document the stories/memories I recall of time/the ssummer spent with my Grandparents. I think that the activities and adventures I had would be interesting and exciting for my children to hear.

Your workshop sounds absolutely lovely!
I would like to explore and scrapbook about my love for reading. I am in my "happy place" when I dive into a wonderful story and savor every word, then finally flip the last page and sigh. I am happy I finished the book but sad it's come to an end. My greatest rewards are when it opens up my memories, gives me ideas of new adventures and reminds me to look at the wonderfullness of my life.

The story that I would like to document would be my love of photography and how I am more than an 8-5 office worker, but a creative person.
