I have so many questions about digital scrapbooking!

Will your training CD work with my version of Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?

A. Digital scrapbooking has the same goal as traditional scrapbooking—to preserve memories with photos and words in an artistic way. The difference is that you create your pages on the computer using photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

A. You need a computer, a photo editing program (I teach and recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Photoshop) and digital photos. You can either get digital photos from a digital camera or you can use a film camera and scan your photos, in which case you would need a scanner.

A. You can make any size page you want. When you create your page, enter the dimensions you want. (I teach how to create pages in my Volume 1 training CD.)

A. You can print your digital pages on photo paper and put them into a traditional scrapbook album, or you can have a company bind them into a hard bound book, or you can simply burn them onto a CD or DVD and view them on your computer or TV.

A. If you don't have a large-format printer you can burn your page on a CD or flash drive and take it to your local quick print shop or to a place like the Costco or Walmart One Hour Photo. All they need is your page in a jpeg format.

You can also temporarily print a 12 x 12 page in an 8 x 8 size on a regular sheet of photo paper. In the print dialog box under “Scaled Print Size” change the height to 8 and the width will change automatically. (I demonstrate how to do this in my Volume 1 training CD.)

The 8 x 8 size will print just fine using a standard printer, and there are lots of nice 8 x 8 albums available. Then someday, when you get a large format printer, you can reprint your pages in the 12 x 12 size and give the smaller size away to a family member as a gift.

A. I recommend that you start with the free tutorials on my website to see how you enjoy this new hobby. I have three videos and a number of web tutorials that you can access by clicking on the Free Resources button on my home page.

Once you've decided that you want to know more about digital scrapbooking, I recommend that you purchase The Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements, Volume 1, Digital Scrapbook Basics. In this CD I assume you know nothing about digital scrapbooking, so I take you step-by-step through everything you need to know to use Photoshop Elements for scrapbooking.

If you’re really serious about learning digital scrapbooking, I recommend that you purchase a Premier Membership first (my advanced scrapbooking web newsletter) and then purchase Volume 1 from the Premier Member’s Store, because members get a $10 discount on Volume 1.

A. I can understand your excitement about digital scrapbooking, and I know you're brimming with questions! That's why I created The Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements, Volume 1—to answer your questions.

There's nothing that will answer your questions better than watching the tutorials on my Volume 1 training CD in the order I give them and then trying it yourself.

Because of the amount of email I receive, I'm simply not able to answer questions that I already cover on my CD, so you're going to have to trust me on this one. You can do this, and I will show you how on the CD! It's a small investment to make that will save you hours of time and frustration trying to learn it on your own.

Here's an unsolicited email from a satisfied customer:

“I have learned more from your CD than I have in a year of doing tutorials from different websites! Thank you so much!!! I want as many people as possible to know how great your CD is so they won't waste as much time as I did! ”

Because I'm asking you to trust that your investment will pay off, I'm also willing to guarantee that it will. If you purchase The Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements from my website, you have a 90 day money back guarantee that you'll either like it or you can send it back for a refund, no questions asked.
