Other sites’ Digi-scrappin’ tutorials

It can get overwhelming, trying to sort through all the digital sites out there.  Some are very obviously only there to jump on our digi-scrappin' bandwagon and make a quick buck.  Some mean well, but are sparse and hard to navigate.  Some SAY they have tutorials, but have only 1 or 2, or have a "coming soon!" note that has been there for a year.

Here are the sites I've found that have a depth of tutorials for digital scrapbooking. 
Some of these are the ones that gave me the courage to jump in and try digital scrapbooking myself.  Please know that sometimes within a site, the host will change the link names -- so if one of the links ever doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to fix it.  I'm going to list them in alphabetical order, so as not to play favorites.  ;o)

~ Kim Hill and Kathy Moore have come together to create DigiScrappingTutorials.com, a collection of many tutorials, all in once place.  This will be a great place to go after reading through all the tutorials here at DigiScrappin' with Jen, to continue your digi-scrappin' journey.

kimlizzy has all sorts of tutorials -- using DIP -- at her site.

PickleBerryPop offers a starter kit at their site, which includes: (1) A kit sample, (2) fact sheets that tell you about digital scrapbooking, digi-scrapping etiquite, shopping for digi products online, and how to find your way around PickleBerryPop, and (3) a "Creating your first digital layout" tutorial for the following programs: Gimp, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 5, and Paint Shop Pro 8.  Click here to find out more.

There are also sites that sell CD's of Photoshop tutorials, and while that doesn't fit totally in line with my FREE information for everybody philosophy for this blog, it's worth noting that those sites are there (and I DO think that the CD's are probably worth every penny.  It takes a lot of effort to create a product like that!)  Scrapper's Guide and Scrapgirls' Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed.  Scrapgirls additionally offers FREE: 3 easy pages video s and 6 videos about digital scrapbooking that you can watch on their website.

Interesting to see this list from years ago. I was just beginning to write my tutorials when you posted this. I have a ton now for PSE and am writing all the time, as you probably know! www.hummiesworld.com

  • Everything I write here is my work and theoretically subject to copyright (so be nice.) If you would like to use or quote from any of my entries as content for your site, please contact me at jenstrange AT gmail DOT com. Bear in mind, though, I AM influenced by what I see and read in other places -- after being absurdly immersed in scrapbooking sub-culture (though magazines, idea books, message boards, scrapbooking websites, etc) it's only natural that I have absorbed a lot of knowledge. As it's floating around in my head, I'm sure to copy SOMEONE when I try to put it into words for you to read. I will try very hard to not infringe on anyone else's copyright. Everything here is my personal interpretation of scrapbooking and should not be taken as absolute truth. Ok, you have a nice day now. ~ Graphics for banner downloaded and used with permission from Shabby Princess. Visit her today!

    (You'll notice a lot of these books are from the 90's. Hey, I'm limited by my college's library! ;o) These books are pretty out of date in some ways, but very helpful in others -- and they're free to use, so that's what I'm goin' with!)
