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 realized the other day that my grown son had not heard the story about me and my cousin eating baby aspirin (and how my sister went and told on us because we wouldn't share!). I would like to document this for him.

I would like to document the childhood of my cousins and me, about 30 years ago, when the house of our grandparents was our favourite place to be. Always at least 10 children and a lot of joy and laughter!

My relationship with my paternal grandparents. They've been deseased for only a short time but I feel like I'm forgetting so much about them already. Everytime I sit down to scrapbook this subject I get overwhelmed and never get anything on paper. I'd love some help getting over this hurdle.
Thanks for the opportunity Ali!

Hi Ali- I am just so eager about this class:) I want to really get down to the details of my story and the story of people, places and things that have made me who I am today and to celebrate this little life of mine:)

I want to record some of the games my brothers and sister and I played as a children. Since we grew up in the 60's & 70's - before game consoles and computers - we played outdoors a lot. I don't have pictures for most of what we did but I'd like to record the memories anyway.
Thanks!

I would share about emigrating from England to Oregon when I was eight. There are a lot of little stories and cultural differences that i remember and I really need to tell that story.

I would love to document our little family home: how important it was for my grand-mother, what improvements each generation has made, what our currents plans are and how I wish that my son will one day love it as much as we do.

Ali, I was in doubt if I should registrate or not in this wonderful workshop, because I don't have much free time and I end up buying lots of courses and not doing any of them, but...as I read your description here...oh, my God! I MUST take this class!!!!So, as I believe a little bit in Luck, I'm gonna try to be the MOST FORTUNATE person in the world and win this giveaway, but if I don't...I'll run to the Big Picture "booth" and registrate myself! One story I'd really like to tell is almost a summary of how I got where I am now in Life - something like: how my life is so perfect (professionally and personally speaking)that it seems to have been planned with details, but it has not - I really just let things flow, but made all my choices with my heart! I think this is the secret!As Beatles said: ALL you need is LOVE! (Sorry for writing so much!) XOXO Mari, from Brazil.

I would like to document how I am very like my grandmother, even though I do not really remember her. So many common threads that skipped a generation down to me!

I've always wanted to scrapbook a page about passionate careers in my family. My dad is a pastor, my mom is a preschool teacher, now I work at a Bible camp...I want to document how their work inspired mine and how grateful I am to have witnessed their hard hours poured into the work they felt so called to.

Thanks Ali for the chance to win a spot in your class. I would love to document what it was like being the baby of five kids. I also want to document all the stories my mom has told me about her life growing up in Germany.

I would like to document my dad, his
relationship with my mom, with my
brother and myself - he passed away
right after I was married and my kids
never knew him.
I talk about him a lot, but it would
be nice to have something to show.
Thanks.

I'd like to record some of the stories around my grandad who I loved more than anything. He was good and strong and wise and luckily, I have quite a few photos of him that are crying out to be captured on layouts.

Hi Ali I would like to document some stories about my grandmother who just turned 92 this week. It would be so great to create some memories of her yesterday together with her. (She lives around the corner in a nursing home so I could ask her to tell me some stories). Bye Irene
