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 love to document a line of my family who were the first to settle in Illinois. I have stories, pictures and a lot of other related history that would have the possibility of making some wonderful pages.

I would like to document the story of how for most of my childhood, my grandma convinced me that chocolate milk was the most expensive beverage a person could possibly buy. I grew up wishing that one day we would be able to afford the little cartons of chocolate milk (instead of plain white) on our after-church visits to the donut shop.

I want to document my childhood - from birth through high school... My parents both worked as RN's thru my childhood and never had time to put the photos in an album or write about them...so I'd love to spend time going through them with my parents and capturing the stories they remember. Luckily, my dad enjoyed photography, so I do have quite a few pictures. Now, I just need the words. Thanks for the chance to come to your class - I'd love to win.

Mel's idea is great. I'll have to remember that!
It's a strange one, but I'd like to document my love of Chapstick and tie it into a photo I have of my dad holding me when I was about six months old. He is carefully - preciously - putting Chapstick on my chapped baby lips. Makes me smile every time!

I've been scrapbooking since 2000 and I recently realized that in all of the scrapbooking I've done, I have never done a page about any of my grandparents. I would like to obtain some of those stories from my mother, and document them in the pages of a scrapbook, before they are lost forever.

I would like to document how I used my imagination to entertain myself and play when I was a kid - I didn't have any playmates, so I had a huge "world" of friends (my toys) and we shared many fun adventures!

I would like to document my childhood and all of the people made it really important. I feel like if I don't write it down, it will keep slipping away.

I would like to document stories from my childhood particularly the relationship I have had with my Dad which at times has been hard but at other times has been memories I wouldn't swap for anything.
Hope I get to do your class.

Hands down my grandmother. She was the glue that kept our family together. Thanks to her I developed a love of cooking, sewing, memory keeping and most importantly what it means to be a part of a family.
Thanks for the awesome opportunity.

I'd like to document some of the stories from when my parents first moved to the US in 1984, both immigrants from different countries. I've gotten short stories from them, but never the whole thing. Cheers!

I'd like to do a layout about being terribly shy as a young child and my progress over the years as I've grown up to try and overcome that. It created a number of challenges for me, but it helped make me more compassionate.

How a girl from small town New Zealand ended up in America via Australia. That would be my story.

Those amazing conversations you have in the car with your kids. The ones where you relize your kids have a far greater understanding of life than you ever expected.
