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.

Okay, what the heck I'll add my name to the mix. I would love to participate in your Y+T class, but just don't have the discretionary funds right now.
One story I NEED to document is the story of our dating, engagement and wedding. It's funny and full of twists, and I think applying your process would lend itself beautifully to that project.
Somebody will be very fortunate to win this. Maybe me.

I am a little tired of all the "me" books and would like to branch out from the beginning with some of my family heritage. I have alot of family research that needs to be presented to the non-research family members in quick short bites... like a LO. Can't wait for the winners!

I would like to document our story as a military family. My husband is in the US Air Force and we've been stationed abroad for the past 8 years. My little girl is 8 years old and has already lived in 3 different countries and travelled all over Europe. I want to be able to document our every day life in a foreign country. I also want my daughter to be able to look back on these memories and remember all the different things she learned about each country she lived in, and for her to realize how fortunate she is.
Ali, thanks so much for your daily inspiration.

Your class sounds amazing! I have stacks of old family photos; from my parents, siblings & my childhood. I'd love to get the 'real story' documented on what was happening when these photos were taken (especially the pre-me ones!).

What a great class this will be - I sure hope to win!! I would love to document so many of the parts of my personal background that add up to make me the person I am now - hopefully a better mom and wife than I would have been otherwise. A biggie is the importance of documenting things - after an injury, I lost memory of prior (childhood) events, so I really want to preserve my kids' own journeys!!
