Digital Scrapbooking
February 4th, 2010 at 18:16As my long term readers will know I’ve been wanting to try digital scrapbooking for a few years. Finally I saw a real opportunity with Renee Pearson’s Just the Basics class. Class started last week. I immediately discovered we had Photoshop Elements 5 and I needed 6,7 or 8 for class. Kevin finally got me version 6 so today I was able to complete week 1 (just in time for week 2 to arrive). Having Renee talk it through step by step is wonderful and just what I needed. I watched the videos, then listened to them while I followed on PSE (switching back and forth as need). The result 2 digital layouts that I am rather proud of, even if it’s so totally not my normal style. The theme was robots but luckily was neutral enough I was able to find photos to go with it.
Who knows in a few weeks I might even be able to complete the few online classes I started that were largely digital!

***** To make it very clear all I added was the photos and title/journalling

Good job!! They look great, Libby
I think the hardest part of digital scrapping is keeping your downloaded kits and embellishments organised so you can easily give credit for the papers and bits you use

I love scrap booking. I’ve just done a post about how I love organising and filing things away and I have all my crafting items and scrap booking items filed away. I’ve never thought of digital scrap booking

Fabulous!!! Congratulations on your pages and getting started. It was one of my 2010 goals to learn digi scrapbooking and I made a start in January. I’m really enjoying it! I haven’t take any classes but I’m learning as I go and I love the pages I’ve done
I especially like how quick it is to clean up afterwards
