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.

Hi Ali
The new class looks awesome!! I would want to document my childhood and teen years. I have never scrapbooked about them. My kids would love to go through and read what it was like when mom was growing up in the late 70's-80's. Thanks for the chance to win:)

Hi Ali,
I would love to document my realtionship with my grandma when I was growing up. She took turns having sleepovers with each of her 3 grandchildren, and then she would spoil us rotten the next day - taking us out to lunch, for a movie, and a trip at the local drugstore where we could pick out a toy. She passed away about 10 years ago - I don't want to forget these things. And I hope to create these same memories with my future grandchildren.

Ali, your class sounds so inspiring. :)
I would love to create a page about my family's move half-way around the world when I was four years old. I am still in awe of my parents' sacrifice and commitment to giving us a better life in Canada.

This is great Ali, I am interested in documenting family Christmas traditions from my side as well as from my husbands side and then show how we ended up with a wonderful combination. I think this would be really fun to do in your class because it would allow me to think about Christmas for three months rather than just the actual holiday time.

It's an ugly truth but I would like to document about how my 14 year old brother ended up in prison for life.

Hi Ali,
I would love to document my childhood spend with my grandmother. She would take turns having each of her 3 grandchildren sleepover, and then spoil us rotten the next day - she took us to lunch, to a movie, and then to the local drugstore where we could pick out a toy. She passed away 10 years ago - I don't ever want to forget these things. And I hope to create the same type of memories for my future grandchildren.

I need to get the basics of my husband's family history written down. When and where did his mom and dad go to school, how did they meet, that sort of thing.
