As 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!
