I’ve been taking a class on digital scrapbooking with Photoshop at www.jessicasprague.com and it has been very definitely worth the price. Each week we do layouts following very clear video tutorials, using products that she supplies to us in download-ready form. I haven’t deviated from her concepts much at all, other than tweaking colors to match my photos. And I’ve been SO pleased with what I’ve learned so far. Here are a bunch of layouts I’ve done since this class started. Click to make them larger.
(Using downloads from the class, plus a brush set from Designer Digitals)
(Using ASO Ultimate Grunge Brushes and ASO Art Deco Stitching Brush, both from ScrapGirls)
(Using a Freebie set from Sweet Shoppe Designs, and downloads from the class, and BHA Not Guilty embellishments from ScrapGirls)

(Using downloads from the class. Quotation around the circle reads: “Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express. ~Joseph Addison” and Journaling reads: “Sometimes the two of you are startlingly alike. Sometimes you are very very different. But what I know for sure is that you adore each other. And I love to watch you interact.”)

The word art is mine, using Becky Higgins’ CK font, Pharmacy, Jokerman, and Impact fonts.

I’m totally loving this.

those are fantastic!! You make me want to play even more now 🙂
Question… as this is scrapbooking I think I could do. (Although I have to admit shutterfly is so easy!) So, after you make these great pages, how do you get them printed? Is that possible? Or do you then recreate what you’ve created using your paper and tools.
I have them printed at Costco 1-hour and just go pick them up.
