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 am dealing with a tragic situation and not sure how I am going to continue to move on...and how my dear best friends of 25yrs. are there for me. I think scrapbooking and journaling will help get me through. Thank you for the opportunity.

Only in the last 10 years, I figured out some "family secrets" from the 1960's. "Uncle Jack" was really grandma's boyfriend. And, my Mom had a set of twins that she put up for adoption without any of her 5 kids knowing about it!! Wow! I need to tell these stories.

I would like to document my relationship with my husband. We are high school sweethearts and have been married for ten years now. I have to admit that I haven't committed to paper the most important stories of our beginning.

My family was in a tragic car accident. I want to document this for my family and children but am not sure how to do it well.

I plan on sharing the story of how our grandparents lived with us growing up because my mom was a full time nurse and my dad was in the military. My mom needed her parents to help her out when my dad would be deployed. My, my brother & sister were sooooo fortunate to have our grandparents living with us :)
I am already signed up for your class. I literally jumped for joy when I read that your videos would be an hour long! If I were to win a spot, I would give it to one of my best friends so she could join me in this awesome class. I can't wait!

I would like to document my educational journey. As I start University AGAIN! at the age of 45ish!!!! Maybe through some self reflection I can find the part of me that said "yes" to post-graduate study and have a good talk with that part and put her straight.

The stories of my husband's childhood that he shared with my daughter. He never has written them down and recently passed away. I want to capture them before her memory fails and so she will have them for her children

a subject I would like to be able to write and document about would be surviving suicide (a very painful subject) but yet one that has happened in my life.

About the way I look exactly like my great-grandma. And all the questions I have about her.

So cool that you're giving away THREE spots in the class. I am already registered, and I'm looking forward to telling some of the stories of my wedding. I'm really excited!

I would like to document my growing up within a very close extended family - Sundays were 'family days': lunch with Dad's side, afternoon tea with mums. Every Sunday, year in and year out. I don't live near my family now because I went overseas, but my husband's family is close by. I also want to document my children growing up, and growing closer with their cousins - the next generation. Every Sunday, year in and year out. :D

It seems so ordinary, but my son (even at 18!) doesn't know how his dad and I met and what it was like when we were first dating-how we commuted all the way across Oregon for a year for our dates. How hard it was to be apart....
Thanks Ali. You've got me thinking already.

I would like to document some of my childhood especially since my mom passed away when I was 21...right before my wedding.
I think it would be a way for my own children to connect with a grandma who they never had a chance to meet.
Thanks, Ali!

I would love to document the huge gaps of missing information I have about my family. I have vague memories of some of my relatives that I hope to have cleared up soon along with information about some old photos that are about our heritage.

The story I'd love to document is the story of the birth of my family - the journey to get pregnant, the pregnancy itself, the birth, NICU stay and the first year (which we just celebrated 1 week ago!)
