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 preserve the family history that I have. Photos on both sides of my family were lost I would like to preserve what we still have before those are lost too. My famly has become very small and my children do not have the memories of an extended family. When I was a child I was blessed with many aunts, uncles and cousins and my granparents were new to this country. I would like to be able to give my children a feel for my childhood.

I'd like to document the story of how my husband and I met, fell in love, and got married, our early years before we had children. I document so much about my kids' life sometimes I forget to get the stories, before them, down.

Growing up on Redwood Drive...in the days when people didn't lock their doors, kids rode bikes with no helmets, mom's told their kids to go outside and play and adventure could be found in your backyard. A world that doesn't exist anymore.

I would like to document the way I feel right now, as a mom, as a wife, as a daughter, as a granddaughter, as a sister, as a friend, as a artist. Thanks for the chance to win.

Thanks for the chance I would love to win since it seems we can't afford anything extra right now.... :>( (darned economic slump and 8 months of unemployment) :>)
I would love to document the thoughts and feeling surrounding the pictures of my first daughter who lived to be 37 months old before passing due to complications from her birth defect. Looking back at her pictures I remember things from taking the picture, thoughts of what I feel now, and what I feel as I look at her two younger sisters... I keep trying but it is easy to push aside the project with the emotional toll it can take sometimes. Perhaps having a course like this one would help me finally get it all down, at least what I feel up until now and help me share her better with her younger sisters.

I would like to document my pregnancies. I have a ton of pictures, some little notes and thoughts, mementos, etc. but have done nothing to put it all together because I just feel....stuck.

A story that I would love to document is the fact that I am not perfect. I make mistakes and it's okay to admit that. This is something that I want my girls to know, not only for now, but when they grow up and become mommy's too..
Prefection is the ideal and I have too much learning to do to be perfect.

Thanks for the giveaway! I would want to document my college story - not that it was particular exciting - but I feel pretty proud of myself that I majored in Chemical Engineering and would want my kids to see how hard work (and some/many tears) pays off. Looks like a wonderful class!

I want to tell the story of preparing for my first child to leave home. This is his senior year, my last year with him at home - an exciting story to tell. To be able to attend this class would be a story in itself! This is such a generous opportunity you are sharing.
