Hi! I’m Linda Sattgast,

and I want to tell you about my fabulous training program that will open up all kinds of cool scrapbooking possibilities for you! Here are just a few of the things I’ll teach you how to do with your computer:

• Enhance your photos—I’ll teach you how to resize and crop your photos and how to turn them into black and white or sepia to create an elegant effect.

• Mat your photos with ease—Choose from millions of colors to create mats for your photos. (You can even use the “Color Picker” to perfectly match a color from within your photo.) Ovals and circles are a cinch, too, or try a vignette with soft edges. It’s easy to do using a computer!

• Make Terrific Titles—You’re probably already using your computer to help you
add titles and journaling. Now you can go a step further and learn some fun ways

to enhance your type by changing the color, size, and direction of your type easily. You can distort it into different shapes like “flag,” “rise,” and “squeeze,” and you can add a variety of special effects such as “water reflection.”

• Turn ordinary paper into vellum—Imagine being able to turn any piece of paper into vellum! (You get to pick how transparent you want it to be.) You can either work with digital paper you create yourself (I’ll show you how!) or you can use a piece of paper that you've scanned.

And speaking of paper... I have a whole chapter on creating digital paper. You'll learn how to make beautiful patterned paper and realistic looking mesh to embellish your pages, and you'll learn great tips and techniques for turning your own photos into digital paper as well as ways to use filters to create paper.

• Access a library of shapes—Photoshop Elements has over 500 shapes you can choose from to accent your pages. It’s like having punches on steroids because

they can be any size you want, they don’t get dull from use, and you can apply special effects to them. (Turn a heart shape into red plastic or add a glow to a star, and you’ll see what I mean!)

• Learn to make your own embellishments — with the versatile Marquee Tool or by selecting an object out of your own photo or scan. Now the teddy bear on your layout can be your child’s own beloved teddy bear, and the shells on your vacation-at-the beach layout can be the very shells you collected and brought home.

• Learn some of my favorite ways to create fast pages. I'll show you four page styles (including my favorite "torn paper" technique) that will have you producing beautiful pages in a jiffy!

• Practice your new skills by following the step-by-step manual. Once you’ve watched a video lesson, you’re ready to try it yourself! I’ve provided a PDF manual with the CD that contains all the written instructions for each lesson, making it easy for you to duplicate exactly what you saw on the video.

BONUS! Designer Michelle Shefveland of CottageArts.net has generously donated several page templates, embellishments and an alphabet set that I have included on the CD at no additional cost to you!

“But,” you might be saying to yourself,
“I’m not a computer whiz!”

Let me reassure you—you don’t have to be a computer whiz! With this program you’ll be able to “look over my shoulder” and watch my computer screen as I do it for you step-by-step. Not only will you SEE what I do, but I will TELL YOU what I’m doing as I do it.

AND you’ll learn by DOING—the most effective way to learn! I’ve designed over 40 bite-sized lessons that teach you the basics of digital scrapbooking. With each lesson you’ll acquire a new set of skills that will empower you to create beautiful scrapbook pages!

To make it easier to follow along I’ve included all the photos I use in the projects.

PLUS I’ve included:

• A page of all the Keyboard Shortcuts I share with you so you’ll have a visual reference to jog your memory. (You’ll find this in the PDF manual.)

• A printable PDF Manual (both a Windows and a Mac version) with all the steps for the lessons written out for your reference.

And here’s my Personal Pledge to you:
If you get stuck on one of the lessons, you can write to me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can (usually within two business days).

So how much does it cost?

I spent over a thousand dollars and countless hours on training material that didn’t teach what I teach you in my program—how to use Photoshop Elements from a scrapbooker’s point of view. The books and videos I bought taught me how a particular tool worked, but they didn’t answer many of my questions about how to use them for digital scrapbooking.

But you won’t have to go through the same frustration!

As a veteren scrapbooker, I start at the beginning and show you exactly what you need to know to do the things we scrapbookers love to do: enhance our photographs, embellish our pages, and create stunning layouts!

Instead of paying over a thousand dollars to get trained, like I did, you can learn the basics of digital scrapbooking with my first volume for only $29.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling*.

That’s just $29.95 to learn how to

• Enhance your photos
• Turn a color photo into black and white or sepia
• Choose from millions of colors to create mats for your photos
• Add shadows and bevels and other special effects

• Resize and crop your photos easily
