Layout Previews | Yesterday & Today
Tags:If you're curious about the kind of layouts we'll be making in my 12-week Yesterday & Today workshop at Big Picture, this post is for you.
One of the biggest things you'll likely notice - there's a lot of words. Bring on the words.
Here's a peek at some of the layouts (in this class there's one layout per week):
I hope you can join me! If you'd like to read more go here or here. Registration is open through January 5th here. Class begins December 30th.
Look for a class giveaway coming this weekend!

I haven't decided to take your course yet. I already know "words" are important. I love journaling. My problem is getting my husband to journal. I am doing album for his 85th birthday. I want him to journal about the things he loves, clothes, pens (fountain, collector pens) and much more. He loves to tell stories but when I ask him to journal, he gets all solemn, serious and way to short.
I think my work for this coming year will be "finish." I am working hard to go through family boxes, sort the data and scrap book the family history. Thank YOU, thank You, for telling me I do not have to scrap chronologically.

Judy I had this problem with my grandad and decided to just tape him talking and transpose it to writing later. I conducted a mini interview - had a few questions ready to get him going and it worked a treat. Some people are just not writers and need a little help :)
Judy, you will love this class. I took it last year, and I am still in the progress of working on the album. There are some pages, I used over and over. I read the comment from the other lady and yes, have him record the words. There is a software that will translate, it is voice recognize and will convert sound into type. The blind and some progressive offices use it. All is left is editing and check spelling for the correct usage of the word. But, get the stories recorded. This class makes you think about genealogy and the stories that go with it. Enjoy the class.

Hmm, you have reminded me that some of these are still work in progress from when I took the class! Interesting that some of them I have done over and over though with different subjects. Loved this class, highly recommend it :)

This look amazing! I am still on the fence since I have no pictures of childhood with me, they are all at my parents and they just not have a way to get them to me right now, even if I got them a scanner, they are pretty technologycaly challenged....

Yes...this class is w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l. It really helped me journal meaningfully. Some of my favorite layouts to date.
Question@Ali:
This may have already been discussed already, but if I took the class in the past (but didn't quite get it all completed) can I join in to this round of discussions and galleries? I think that the schedule of this round of class will better fit my schedule since it's being offered at a slower time of the year for me. TIA.
Merry Christmas!

Ali, I enrolled in this class the last time you ran it...it was, by far, the best class I'd ever taken. You encouraged me to go deep with my journaling. Outstanding class!!!

Thanks, Ali, for sharing those images. It solidified my desire to take the class. I am hoping Santa will check it off my wish list, if not I will get it for myself:)

Ali, I don't have photoshop elements, but another photo editing software, Creative Memories Storybook, where outside elements can be brought in to use. Would this me acceptable for the class, or would I have to get Elements also? I have CS3, but never used it, not sure if elements would apply to that program? Thanks Ali!
Replies
Hi Donna - unfortunately I don't know enough about that software to give you a positive or a negative answer. CS3 would definitely work - you would not need Elements if you have CS3.

Hi Ali,
This is totally off the subject but I've seen the Polar Express Mt. Hood commercial sooo many times, thanks to my kids pointing it out every time, but anyway, in case you didn't know, Simon's picture is on the commercial...Adorable picture.

Can't wait for this class! Is there any chance you could make 8.5x11 templates available as well? I LOVE the ones you created for week in the life! I use them a lot.

Ali,
I took this class last year but it was way too busy of a time for me. I am seriously thinking of taking this an an alumni.
Is it the exact same class materials? If so, yeah because I did print out everything last time and have it in a big binder. I do think I would benefit from the "live" interaction with the discussion board and I will be free to focus on this class!

Exact same class materials :).
