Art of Digital Design

The Art of Digital Design is a revolutionary class for new digital designers to learn the secrets of creating, packaging, uploading, marketing, and selling digital product. I've been asked for years to teach a class that reveals the insider information about how to design items such as patterned papers, brushes, stickers, alphabets, and other elements used in digital scrapbooking. If you've wanted to dip a toe into the design world, with a desire to make and possibly SELL your own digital kits, OR if you've already started down the path, but you're finding the lack of clear information confusing, this is the class for you! $325 Put yourself on the notify list for the next session!

This Old Photo: Restoring Vintage Snapshots

Many of us focus on recording the current events in our lives - which is incredibly important. But we all own boxes, or albums of photos from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s - or even earlier. You might be one of the truly lucky souls to inherit a box of photos of your ancestors. Often these photos have been the victims of poor storage, fading, color shift, stains, tears, scratches, dust, and the simple aging process. In this two-week, self-paced class, I'll walk you through the techniques for restoring your vintage photos to their former glory - and beyond! $45 Register for you OR Grab it as a Gift!

Digital Albums Family

Family History Album 1

For many of us, family history can be intimidating.

That's where this class comes in.
