Yesterday & Today Begins In One Week & A 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:
- 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 my husband and his love of Lego. He got his first set when he was 4 years old and now works for the company. I want my children to know that they can grow up to do something they are in love with too.

I would like to document not only my childhood, but the people in my chidhood, especially the ones that are no longer with us, the ones that I loved that my children will never have the chance to meet. Their stories and their role in my life.

in the back of my mind for a while is to better explore my parents pre-marriage relationship. the events leading up to their wedding. it was such a volatile time in our history. to explore those events and how that may have effected them, or not effected them.

I'd really like to document the story of how my husband and I met, and our early dating days. I have a few layouts, but there are so many stories to tell. I'm also hoping to document some stories of my childhood and get all the picutres out of the old magnetic albums.
Thanks Ali! This is a great giveaway! Do you think that you'd ever consider writing a book on this content as well?

What a great giveaway! Things I am looking forward to documenting from my past are the choices and consequences of my teen years and how they made me who I am today...also my relationship with my dear grandmother. Thanks for a chance to win.

The painful story of being taken away and put into the state's custody. It's a hard one, but one that has shaped me into who I am. I want to theach my kids that you can go through tramatic experiences, learn from them and get beyond them.

The family homestead has been in the family since the late 1800's... it was started by my great grandfather and my dad lives on the land to this day... it's not a working farm any more, but I want to document this history for my son, who will inherit the land someday.

My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in July 2010, and I would love to be a part of this class to learn creative ways to document their 50 years together. If not for them, my four sisters and I would not be here! It's amazing to think about all the ways their long, loving marriage has impacted all so many people, especially in our own family.

I want to document all the little quirks I had as a little kid- my pet garden hoe that I dragged around, how I was a tomboy, my love for my blanket, my hate of getting my hair brushed, etc.

Right now I'd like to start the heritage album I've been collecting "stuff" for. I'd also like to document my feeling around my parents' divorce - how I felt when it happened more than 30 years ago and how it still affects me today. Thanks, Ali. I'd be thrilled to win your class!!

I want to document my high school years. My son started this year and loves to hear the stories about when I went to school. He still can't grasp the idea that I was a cheerleader, lol.

Oh I so want to take this class. Just not sure I can afford it right now. I would love to document things about my parents childhood. They have so many stories about growing up that need to be put down on paper so we remember!
