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.

Hi Ali! I would like to write about the way that my grandparents lived, and shared their fruits and love with us. SO different from what my own children know... then, my grandchildren will be able to understand about the "good ole days" !!!

I have so many ideas on what I want to document! It's quite overwhelming. And I have a lot of photo's to go with that. The first thing that comes to mind are the visits to my great grandparents and how the garden was my great grandfathers domain. I could play on the grass but had to stay away from his veggiepatch and the pigeonshed.

My relationship with my siblings and the changes from when we were little to now when we have little ones of our own

I feel grateful that I've taken the time to journal my girls' labor and delivery stories but I never have written down how their daddy and I met, what types of dates we went on. I haven't even documented our wedding yet, stacks of photos still, but nothing documented. That would be a good thing to finish and leave for my children.
Thanks Ali!

I would document my husband's health journey that he has faced so honestly. I believe that our son would want to participate in this project also and talk about the impact that it has had on his life.
