How do I get started Digital Scrapbooking?

You are in the right place. The simplest way to start scrapbooking is with my popular class, Get Started Digital Scrapbooking. This class has video lessons, step by step handouts and a digital scrapbooking kit so you can follow along with me as we create a scrapbook page together.

Get Started Digital Scrapbooking will take you from the very beginning and walk you through step by step through the process of building a layout. You’ll follow along with Melissa, using the same supplies as she does and in the end you’ll be thrilled with your new digital scrapbooking skills.

• A high quality video showing you how to create your first page
• A gorgeous designer mini kit from Mirjam of Pink Reptile Designs – access to the same product Melissa uses in videos makes it easier to work through the materials

• Learn how to save your page for printing online – so your pages look the best they can

Through this class, you will gain the confidence to work on your own – even if you are brand new to Photoshop Elements.
