ali edwards class giveaway

It's two days before Christmas so let's have a giveaway! Big Picture Classes has given me one seat to give away in Ali Edwards online class Yesterday and Today.

*** PLEASE NOTE: THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED! ***

Check the end of this blog post to see if you are the winner!

HOW TO ENTER:

Just post a comment below in this post to be entered for a chance to win, make sure to include your contact info so I can reach you. I'll draw a winner at random (using random.org) on Tuesday Dec 28th at 5pm EST.

ABOUT ALI'S CLASS:
Join popular blogger and scrapbooker Ali Edwards, along with a diverse group of memory keepers, as they learn to make meaningful connections to their past in order to live their life in a more thoughtful way. Projects are limited to one layout a week that address the questions listed below.

Are you new to online education? Ali’s robust, cutting-edge online classroom provides content in multiple learning platforms: video, audio and traditional written handouts. The classroom also houses sharing galleries and multiple message boards. This is your last opportunity to participate in Yesterday and Today at Big Picture Classes. Don’t miss out on this popular class!

Yesterday & Today

Where do you begin creating with photos from generations past?What do you wish you knew about your parents when they were growing up? What life lessons do you want to pass on to your children?
How do you document the challenging times in your life?
How do you create layouts that tell special stories when you don't have any photos?

Ali says,
“The benefit of looking to the past is that we gain perspective. We see things differently after developing an awareness of what we know and what we wished we knew. Looking back, even if we're just viewing old photos of people we don't know, can change the way we approach the photos we take and the stories we tell today.”

When I was talking to my son the other day about his grandpa's service in the Korean war, I wishd I had been more into scrapping to journal his thoughts. I have many pictures that were left to me. This would be a great class to get those pics into a format for us all to review. Thanks for the opportunity to try to win.

Combining the story with the photos is a wonderful concept. I have a load of old family photos, plus I've been collecting other families' vintage photos. I'm really drawn to them, but now need to get past collecting to doing! Thanks for the opportunity.

Oh, I just finished helping my old dad clean his appartment - and I stumbled across all his old photos- and now I have six generations to sort through and scrap with. This class would come in so handy. I don´t have words to describe how much that would mean to me- and to future generations. Crossing my fingers... Thanks, Claudine, for giving me one chance to have a go at this interesting class. Love BigPictureScrapbooking!!!
