Imagine scrapbooking with supplies that you can reuse, resize and recolor in seconds flat! No need to set up or clean up your work area, it’s all in your computer ready to go wherever you are.

Save time! Make a page and print a copy for yourself and another for Grama…even in different sizes. Spend your time scrapping instead of vacuuming up your scraps or clearing off the dining room table….again.

Still have lots of traditional scrapbook supplies that you want to use?

Not a problem. I will introduce you to hybrid scrapbooking which incorporates traditional supplies with digital projects.

•Week Two: Create two pages from two different types of templates.

Discover how quickly you can make a page with a layered template.

•Week Three: Create a page from a digital kit. Learn how to crop photos and papers to mat them. You will learn more options for changing the colors of your supplies and master the Type tool.

•Week Four: While creating more pages you will learn tips to save you lots of time. I will also introduce you to the Brush tool. Want to add traditional embellishments to your digital pages? I’ll show you some tricks to make it easy.
