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 the story of me and my hand-made yellow poncho. I remember loving it, wearing it often but I don't remember the story of how I got it. I have pics (some quite faded!) and hopefully by mom remembers the story.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I would like to document for my son, how when I was 12, I started flying back to Tenn. (to see my dad's side of the family) from Seattle where I lived. I did this every summer until I turned 23. I was split between 2 families, so to speak.

The people who've been influential in my life, many of whom are now deceased - my Dad, my Gran, and my Grandad (who, thankfully is still with us). It's such a huge task, I simply haven't known where to start, and really would love the opportunity to embark on this journey with you.

I would love to document my relationship with my great grandparents (I had two great grandmothers into my twenties) and now my children's relationships with their great grandparents (they have 7 out of the 8 alive). We are so blessed to have these relationships in our family and I would love to document it!

Overcoming adversity...I was a teenage mother, more than once. The entire country only talked about how bad life would be for me and my kids. We never hear about stories like mine - college graduate, kids in college, good job... I know I couldn't have done it without God's help, but I've done it.

i'd like to document the holidays my family has shared together into one album. i'm in the process of scanning my parents' old photos, and i think it would be so fun to have an album, just for me, that chronicles all our family celebrations. we would travel to visit relatives, have amazing new year's parties, and the whole nine. what a great album to cherish and share!

As the daughter of a man who died from Alzheimers not to long ago, getting it all down and in one place complete with the boxes of pictures I have is my driving force right now. I was scrapping for fun, but now I'm scrapping to share my life and validate my time on earth and to be able to use this if I should be so stricken.Besides who else is going to document me at 4 1/2 lining up the neighborhood kids while I was on vacation and giving them dance lessons. And yes I have the pictures.
