Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A Giveaway

YT_giveaway

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: 


  1. investigate your past through words + photos

  2. 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)

  3. tell your own personal stories of success + challenge + growth

  4. work on embracing imperfection & going with the flow

  5. celebrate your everyday life + make sure you are capturing stories that are meaningful to you today

  6. 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.

Want to know more? Additional details, an audio introduction, and registration can be found here. Registration will close on October 7.

    I need to document stories of my parents and grandparents, as I saw them as a child. My kids know their grandparents much better than I knew mine, so I think it would be interesting to them to read a different perspective.

    Hey Ali,
    just thinking about what stories to tell about me for a change, brings to mind several, I don't know if I could pick just one, but here it goes... the story of how I spent my summers as a kid, riding my bike and swimming with the neighborhood kids, that sense of childhood freedom to just have fun and enjoy those long summer days.

    Documenting my relationship with my Grandmother (she was the single most influential person in my life) and the relationship now between my mom and my daughter. How these two different relationships are so very similar in so many ways!!

    I would like to archive a box of photos and mementos my mom has as gift for Christmas. She has so many stories about these amazing people who were gone before I was born. My family is very small and every story is precious to us.
