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.

Thanks Ali for the chance to win a spot in your class. I would love to document what it was like being the baby of five kids. I also want to document all the stories my mom has told me about her life growing up in Germany.

I would like to document my dad, his
relationship with my mom, with my
brother and myself - he passed away
right after I was married and my kids
never knew him.
I talk about him a lot, but it would
be nice to have something to show.
Thanks.

I'd like to record some of the stories around my grandad who I loved more than anything. He was good and strong and wise and luckily, I have quite a few photos of him that are crying out to be captured on layouts.

Hi Ali I would like to document some stories about my grandmother who just turned 92 this week. It would be so great to create some memories of her yesterday together with her. (She lives around the corner in a nursing home so I could ask her to tell me some stories). Bye Irene

I have pictures from grandparents and great great grandparents ect and would like a nice way to scrap them. Also childhood books that need to be updated and taken off the yucky old albums that are self sticking.

We have a family baptism gown that all of the grandkids have worn, as well as some Christmas dresses etc. It would be neat to do some pages with those photos/memories in mind.

My Mother just gifted me all our family photos, some are almost 100 years old! This would be a great starting point for me. Looks like an amazing class :)

I would like to document my grammy's history of quilting - she's done it my whole life - our relationship and my growing interest in quilting. It's something that keeps us close and I need to talk to her before it's too late...

I am so excited to be going on a mission trip to Kenya in January! I actually also went to Kenya while I was in college with my choir. I have a scrapbook I did from that trip, but I think I will look forward to doing a comparison - of the two trips, of the intent of those trips, and of the person I was then and am now. Great giveaway!

I am almost 40 and feel there have been many phases in my life. I've forgotten about most of them except for my current phase. I scrapbook mostly about my kids. I want to go back and ask others to help me remember my history.

growing up surrounded by a big extended family - not just our fun holiday get togethers & traditions, but individual stories I remember about spending so much time with my cousins.

because I like to follow your blog and your tech of telling "the story", I want to be part of what you are offering. I want to leave the stories and pictures for my family. You are an inspiration for me to keep trying to "get this done" thank you

I have an old photo of myself on my very first day of school. My little boy just started school this year so, this photo (and day) from my own life are very much on my mind. It is time to get them scrapped.
Thanks Ali. I can't wait for class to begin.

Thanks for the opportunity! I'd like to document my mom's thoughts and feelings about the similarities and differences of me as a baby/toddler and my daughter who is 18 mo. There are some great pics of each of us looking like we might be related ;-) My mom is not very expressive and this will be a great opportunity to put her thoughts down on paper.

The life threatening accident that I survived at 21 years of age. I have news clippings and a story to tell but never put it all into a collaborative book or series of pages.
