I have several (very old) scrapbooks from my grandparents that I really need to get digitized! I also have YEARS of pre-digi photos of my kids (1993 to 2004-when I got my digital camera) that I need to digitize because my daughter is getting married in January and I would LOVE to have her scrapbooks completed by then! Thank you for the chance to win this class 🙂
I have a favorite photo of me and my mother sitting on the steps at a summer bungalow. I’m maybe 4 years old. I also have a huge collection of vintage family photos I would love to catalog and preserve.
ANITA!! You are the winner! Congratulations!
Awesome Anita! Can’t wait to see you in class!
I would really love to win a spot in this class. I have some photo’s of my mom and dad when they were seniors in high school and they are in their 70’s now that I would love to digitize. I have boxes and a hope chest full of old family photo’s that to be digitized. Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
my wedding pics!
I would love to win this! Mom & Dad’s 50th wedding anniversary is coming up and I would love to scan their photos and surprise them with a slide show! Thanks for sending the email and for all of your super helpful videos and emails!!! oritcm@yahoo.com
Oh this would be fantastic! I heard Mary on the Daily Digi podcast and it was inspirational. My favourite of many photos, would be one of my sister and I dressed for going out in our knee high socks and high-heels – ah the fashion sense!
Aww, thanks Sue! I bet that knee sock and high heel photo is a hoot!
This is just the class I need–been going through my many boxes of photos trying to decide how to start. Trying to decide the scanner to buy and organizing the pictures.
I want to digitize my parents wedding photos.
I didn’t have a digital camera when my daughter was a baby. I would love to scan those first years of her life before those photos get ruined.
My Moms has some old photos that I need to get scanned and digitized. Years ago, my parents were the only ones who had a camera so many of the pics some relatives have never seen. It would mean a lot to her and my Dad if I could get this done for them. So, that is why I need to take this class.
I want to digitize a photo of my grandma that is from the 1930’s. She’s about 3 in the photo.
Oh My Goodness… I need this class so much… I have pre-digital photos of the kids growing up at Christmas and I have wanted to make a Wreath with photos of them growing up at different Christmas’… I’ve been stumped on how to do the photos…. Thanks for a chance at a seat in your class….
I had a great old printer/scanner…went ca..poot.
Sure would like a chance to learn some new techniques to scan my family photos. Thanks for the chance.
I have an 1888 tintype of my GG-Grandmother when she was 5 years old. I have attempted to scan it but the image is deteriorated in some areas and I would really like more information on how to maximize the output quality of these very old, somewhat small photographs. Thanks! Tracy
My mother’s pictures she took as a child with her box brownie camera. I even have the camera!
Then my wedding photos. Which need scanning from negatives!
j’ai déjà fait de superbes album avec des photos scannées et utiliséee dans des pages de scrap. C’est vraiment une technique interessante mais toujours pleine d’un tas de petits problèmes imprévus ! On n’en sait jamais assez pour pallier à tous ces inconvénients ! merci pour la chance de gagner ! Marie-claire

Oh, that would be awesome to win! I have several boxes of old family photos and also my own pre digital photos to scan and the task seems overwhelming.
I have boxes and boxes of old photos, slides, negatives and movies, some dating back to the late 1800’s, that I would love to convert to digital. There are so many precious photos I can’t pick just one special one.
I have two 45 gallon plastic bins of old photos. Help!
This sounds awesome! I need to digitize a ton of old photos from my grandparents & parents. The most important one? Probably the beautiful picture of my grandmother holding her little doll when she was about 3. Must be about 95 years old now!
I have lots of photos I would like to scan and use. Winning this class would be a start towards doing this.
I have many old family photos that I would love to share with my extended family, scattered around the country/world. This class would help me greatly with knowing how to accomplish this goal!
After I lost my second parent almost 2 years ago I became keeper of the family photos. I have been too busy running a business to tackle them, but I retire in January and I really want to get them preserved digitally before they deteriorate even more. Thank you for the chance to win a place in your class.
Sandra, so sorry to hear about the loss of your parents. Both of my husbands parents are now gone and we are the keeper of his family photos. We’ve slowly been trying to get them all organized and digitized – but time is a big factor for us too. Congrats on your impending retirement. I’m jealous!
I have a ton of old photos that I would like to scan. Thanks for the chance to win a seat in this class.
I’ve got over 30 years worth of old photos for 5 children that I can’t figure out how to scan into photoshop. At least I need to get the best ones in so I can get albums done before I die ! THis will be the answer for me — here’s hoping !
I have a 70 year old photo of my 5 year old mom with her dad and the rest of her extended family on the steps of my grandfather’s business/family home that I would like to scan and share and scrap.
Melissa, oh how I want this class. I have fading photos of my daughter when she was 5, just a few weeks before she died. She would be 41 right now and the photos need help!
thanks for the give away! I love listening to your voice on your videos and always learn something new from you.. always!
