Yesterday & Today : Online Class At Big Picture Scrapbooking
Information is now available for Yesterday & Today, my new online class at Big Picture Scrapbooking.
Thefirst six weeks of Yesterday & Today will address
topics related to yesterday: dealing with old photos,
identifying which stories mean the most, gaining perspective.
We'll then transition for a couple of weeks and shift
our focus to cover stories that include content from both
the past and the present. As we wind down, we'll devote
our energies to exploring techniques that help us tell
the stories of everyday life right now.
All the details, a full description, and an audio message can be found here.
Registration opens on Saturday, August 8th at 10am Pacific. Cost for the 13 week class, which runs from October 1 through December 31, is $99. This class is not limited to a specific number of students.
The first 50 people to register will receive a package of Happy Mail from Big Picture.
Here's a few questions I received yesterday (feel free to leave additional questions in the comments section and I will compile and answer them in another post):
From Deb : I'd really like to take your Yesterday & Today class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I know it says it's designed for both paper and digi scrappers, but then I noticed that Photoshop Elements or some sort of photo-editing software is at the top of the supply list. I am strictly a paper scrapper and don't have photo-editing software. Will that be a deterrent?
Hi Deb - Each week students will be receiving word art/printable elements that can be used on the layouts or added to/printed on your photos. You do not need to have a photo-editing program for the word art (can be printed on to cardstock in Word or printed as a pdf), but if you choose to add elements to your photos you will need a program capable of doing that.
I will also be walking you though my process of working with old photos: scanning/enlarging, etc. I will be using Photoshop for those tutorials. If you plan to scan/work with any older photos at home you will want to have a photo-editing program.
From Carole: Quick Question about your new class at BPS. As you mentioned in your brief audio message, it is a busy time for everyone. My question is... can i sign up enroll and do nothing nor participate online in forums etc until January? We will miss out on anything....is there a time limit on download availabilities, gallery viewing etc...?
Hi Carole - The only thing you will miss out on during the actual class time is the live interaction with me on the message board. The class materials will be available for at least 30 days after the class ends and you can always request an access pass after the class closes. The class gallery and message board will remain open indefinitely.
Are you offering new templates or using the ones sold at the Digital Designs site for this class, thanks kindly for a reply :):)

Hi Cindy - I don't think there will be a payment plan but you do have until October 10 to register. I completely understand that $100 is a lot of money.
The class is designed for people who work with paper OR digital. There will be downloads each week for you to print at home if you are a paper scrapbooker.

Sure Chris - it will be more directed at older photos, but some of the ones I have from college are not digital. To me, older are any that need to be scanned to work with on the computer.

The scanner I have is an Epson Perfection 2480 - I have had it for quite a few years now and it has worked really well. I also have a HP Photosmart printer - in the past (and this could be totally untrue today) I read that the all-in-ones were not as good for printing photos. You may want to check out some reviews on a site like www.cnet.com and see what they have to say. Both HP and Epson have been good for me.

You would really miss very little if you did it all later on - the interactive stuff will all be on a message board that you will be able to read later on as well. All other content will be downloaded.

Hi Ali, I've been waiting to register because I asked you on Twitter (no response?) - does this class go over how you "store" your digital and film images? I'd especially love to learn how you structure your files to keep everything organized. Have you covered this before and maybe I just missed it? Thanks Ali!

Hey Amanda - thanks for re-asking your question. I can definitely add this in as a tutorial/bonus for one of the weeks. Thanks for the suggestion. So, yes, that will be included.

Anthelmintics are drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) from the body, by either killing or stunning them. A traditional remedy of this type is often called a vermifuge or vermicide.
