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 would like to document the relationship I had with my sister when we were growing up. It's very different than what we have now (we are now best friends) and I think it will be nice my kids, and hers, to have some day. Thanks for the opportunity to win Ali! :-)

    I would like to be able to document the stories behind all the old photos I have of my grandparents. My grandfather has passed away but I spend every summer with my now 90 year old grandmother and she shares so many fantastic stories. I need to get them down on paper.

    So many great stories in these comments, I almost forgot what I was doing! I would like to document the memories of this little village where my grandparents lived and where I have visited every summer of my life. My grandparents have died, the houses have changed, but it is still a deeply meaningful place to me.

    This giveaway is so nice, Ali.
    I would really like to put down evidence of all the places I've lived (my family and I have moved 17 times in my 22 years) and all the important people along the way. Thanks :)

    Since my children and grandchildren
    never knew my Grandparents, I want to
    share with them how special they were
    to me.

    I'd love the opportunity to win a spot in your class. I'd like to document the story of how I got off the school bus at the wrong stop on my first day of kindergarden. I'd also like to document the relationship with my grandmother.
