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 childhood memories of growing up with my four brothers and the life we experienced living on our large family farm.

One of my stories will be about my grandparents, their lives during the Depression and how that time also influenced my parents' lives and even my life today.

I have a list that I generated with a free course with Jessica Sprague about growing up. I really didn't think I remembered much, but thanks to her prompts I realized I do have a lot to tell. I'm not sure there are photos to support the stories but since my brother and I are the only ones left in my family, I need to get these stories down or they will be lost forever.

I would like to document some stories about myself as a baby to include in my daughter's album, but I really really want to document stories about my grandparents - my Nanny passed away when I was about 9 or 10 and I was not a scrapbooker when my Grampie passed...I also have a bunch of old photos from when my dad and aunt were little so I would love to document those as well.

I would love to document the past ten years of my life. During this time, I left my home country of Scotland, finished school in the US, met and set up home with my significant other Mark, spent 2 years in California, took a 2.5 month road trip across the US to the east coast where I now work for a big pharma company. It would be great to capture the memories I have of my old home in Scotland alongside the things I love about my new home in the US.........yesterday and today indeed!

I would like to document the story behind a huge family photograph that was in my grandmothers house. It was a large photo in a heavy wooden frame of my Mum's elder sister who died as a young child before my mother was born - she was never talked about. We knew the beautiful little girl in the photo was of Mary and that she had died - but no-one ever told us what had happened or how anyone felt ...and now that is all lost. My parents, aunts and uncles etc are now all deceased (I am only in my 40's) but I want to capture whatever I can for my daughter and beyond.

I have an old black & white photo of me when I was about 6 years old. I'm sitting on the grass and am surrounded by puppies...I count 8 but my sister says there were 12. Dad raised beagles and we always had several litters of puppies. I adore all dogs, always have and I think this picture tells a story about how important animals were & are to my family. I'd love to dig deeper into this story.
