Digi Classes

Thank You so much to those of you that completed our Digi Class Survey, it’s great to see what you want so we can create the right classes for you!

It seems the main request was for Intermediate Classes. Our Brushes Introduction, and Sampler Layout are both Intermediate level. If you’re not sure about these, our Photo Editing Tricks is our beginner class.

In Photo Editing Tricks we show you the basics of Photoshop Elements and how to manipulate your photos. We also explain how and why the programs and tools work, giving you a great base to start using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. It’s the perfect starting point, even if you know a bit about using these programs.

If you’ve not used brushes before, then our Brushes Introduction will open your eyes to the options and possibilities. Brushes are one of the most useful tools for traditional, hybrid, or digi scrappers, like die cuts or stamps to scrappers! Our next Brushes Introduction class is July 2nd 7-9pm.
