A digi page

For Christmas, I purchased a gift for myself - Jessica Sprague's 3 part series on digital scrapbooking. I feel like I currently know enough to get by, but not enough to do the cool things I see others do. And it just irritates me to not know what certain buttons in photoshop do. =)

I started the first class today. It's a self paced class, and I like the video tutorial format. Jessica has a calm and easy-to-listen to voice, and takes great care in explaining what she is teaching. So far it has been mostly review, but I'm excited to learn more as I delve into lesson 2, 3 an 4.

This is the bonus assignment for lesson 1. I love this digi kit that is included in the class. I can see so many uses for the papers and embellishments!


ps... my watermark is obviously not included on the final version of this page. After a few issues in the past, I've just decided to be smart and watermark all photos I post from now on.

PS How do you add a watermark?

Your layout turned out great! Thanks for the tip on the watermark. I will have to start doing that.

AWESOME layout!

You can use photoshop to add watermarks to your photos. You create text layer and then flatten it on your image - making sure you save a copy first.

I signed up for Jessica's suite of classes too, but haven't worked on it in weeks. Your layout turned out beautiful!
