AnnaBlendz: Your guide to artistic digital scrapbook layouts

A note from Melissa: I love digital scrapbooking and I love creating paper-like designs. The beauty of digital scrapping is that we aren't limited to cut-and-paste style layouts. We can create fuss-free arsty layouts too.

Every now and again, I turn to Anna Aspnes' gorgeous digital supplies to create a more blended look. Today, I've invited her to share more about her upcoming class series AnnaBlendz

 

Do you ever look at the artsy digital scrapbooking layouts in galleries and wish you could achieve the same level of digital artistry in your own pages? Have you talked yourself into believing that style of modern memory keeping is way out of your league?

I get it. I've been there personally - 12 years ago, back in the day when there was no digital scrapbooking education, I opened and closed Photoshop Elements for 6 months before plucking up the courage to figure out how to use the program. I personally know the frustration you feel. I am very familiar with lacking results despite tremendous effort – And I am here to tell that there is a better way!

My name is Anna Aspnes and I come to you with more than a decade of experience in digital artistry. I have honed my skills and developed a surprisingly easy approach to blending photos with art to create sophisticated digital artistry every time. I call this method ArtPlay and am now sharing all my best kept secrets and techniques in a 3-part interactive on-line workshop called AnnaBlendz LIVE.

AnnaBlendz LIVE takes place over the course of 3 weeks to allow for proper assimilation of all the content. The concepts and techniques in each class build on one another to deliver everything you need to know about blending art and images to flex your creative muscles and transform your digital scrapbooking.

The virtual online classroom provides the opportunity to ask questions in LIVE in real-time as I demonstrate and guide you through each lesson using your photos and aA DigitalART. The beauty of this personal connection enables you to get more information and clarification on the techniques that are most important to you.

In each class, you will also receive complementary aA DigitalART product, a handout in .pdf format, the layered .PSD files created in class, plus recordings of each session allowing for endless viewing. Attend class and ask questions or view in your own time – The choice is entirely yours.

Here’s what students are saying about AnnaBlendz LIVE:

“I wanted to take a quick moment to say thanks so much for this class. It is like having my eyes opened for the first time. What a world of possibility. So many Ah-Ha moments. It’s really exciting.”

“I learned so much and left with the ability to try the techniques myself. It was great to watch Anna work in real time and see that with a few tips, I could create similar art with my own style.”

“Wonderful; professional presented; Anna is charming and it was just like being in a living room chatting and learning with people we knew.”

"Listening to you in class rekindled my excitement for setting aside time for experimentation, and as you call it, "play”. I’ve caught your enthusiasm, and through your generosity in providing us the video of the entire class to savor again and again, as well as your layered files to study at our leisure, I think I can take those first steps and more".

Here's a sample of some of the creations from AnnaBlendz:

Learning the art of blending doesn’t have to be difficult – Let me show you how. AnnaBlendz LIVE October 2015 is now open for enrollment and will take place on Wednesay, 7th, 14th and 21st October 2015, from 10.00am -12.00 noon Mountain Daylight Time.
