Product Review

In reading and talking to people on this blog and in other forums I get the impression that there are many people who are interested in digital scrapbooking but are put off by the learning curve required to understand a new software program. In this world of instant gratification we don’t want to have to wait for months before we can produce digital layouts we are happy with. Especially if we are already creating great layouts with paper today.

Allow me to introduce you to Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed from Scrap Girls.

This is an absolutely fabulous suite of computer video tutorials which will super-fast track your learning curve on any of the major graphics editing programs. Unlike most of the tutorial packages around, Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed is specifically designed for scrapbooking (duh!) so all of the lessons are targeting layout creation techniques. And each pack is specifically tailored to the graphics editing software of your choice (eg. Photoshop Elements, Paintshop Pro, Photoshop and even MS Word)

Ro Paxman (CEO of Scrap Girls) produces these training movies and she has such a gentle clear way of describing what she is showing you that you can’t help but absorb it quickly. And the other thing I love about this training is that it is not just designed to teach you the absolute basics. You will also learn how to do some really cool things to lift your digital layouts above the ordinary. Here’s a list of the goodies in store in this great training pack:

After you watch Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed movies, you will…

• Create your own digital scrapbook layouts that use the latest, most popular techniques
• Manage all of the important basics that digital scrapbook enthusiasts need to know to get started
• Understand how to save your files for printing and sharing them with your friends and family over the internet
• Make your own shaped and textured brushes (the digital equivalent of stamps)
• Make your own simple backgrounds
• See how easy it is to manage transparent embellishment files that allow digital scrapbooking layouts to look like they are ‘real’
• Be a pro at managing the drop-shadowing techniques that Photoshop Elements provides
• Have fun designing your own digital vellums
• Make your own torn paper photo blocks
• Be able to isolate a single item in a photo and be able to change the color to suit your fancy
• Be a pro at repairing damaged photos
• Know the secret of putting text on a curve
• Laugh at how simple it is to make rounded edges on your photos
• Use keyboard and tool short cuts that make using PSE 4.0 a breeze
• Be aware of some of the frustrating pitfalls that a digital scrapbooker using Photoshop Elements 4.0 experiences and how you can avoid them
• Be able to place digital embellishments on your digital scrapbook layout with ease
• Unlock the mystery of how to clip a digital paper clip onto your layout so that it looks real
• Know how other digital scrapbookers are making their photo or layout edges look aged
• Understand some advanced photo editing techniques including ‘levels’ and lighting filters
• Be able to create an effect that looks like torn transparent fabric

And lots more!

I wish I had discovered Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed when I started digi-scrapping from the very beginning, it would have saved me hours of learning curve time. And the amazing thing is that this training only costs $29.59! I know I value my leisure time at a lot more than that and I want to spend it creating not learning a software program so this was just brilliant for me.

I’ve made no secret on this blog about how impressed I am with the Scrap Girls products and the company itself. Most of my layouts over the last few months have been created with Scrap Girls elements. So much so that I’ve decided to become affiliated with them and help to promote their products. I can only do this for products I am enthusiastic about and believe in. Scrap Girls is that sort of company.
