What's new?

1-15-08: just finished my review of the new book "Digital & Hybrid Scrapbooking & Card-Making with Photoshop Elements," by Patty Debowski, The Digital Scrapbook Teacher.

CLICK HERE TO READ MY COMPLETE REVIEW.

My overall view of the book?

-- Since I started my Digi-Scrapping with Jen blog in an attempt to make Photoshop more attainable for scrapbookers, I’ve had a lot of people tell me I should write a book.  And my answer has always been no, because I have neither the time, energy, or focus to tackle such a project.  When I started reading this book, I got really excited – this is totally the book I would have written.

-- The book gives you probably more info than you initially need, but you can always come back later and pick up the parts you skip.  When I was talking to my other local digi friend about this book, I jokingly said “It’s like the Physician’s Desk Reference for digi-scrapping.”  We laughed, but I realized that it’s totally true.  This is a GREAT reference book.

-- I really think that anyone who takes time to study the book will be able to digi-scrap without further help.

I enjoyed your "I believe in being kind of caught up: The case for chronological scrapbooks" article and hope to progress further with digi scraping this year.

(Getting PSE 5 and the missing manual for Christmas should help, no?) :)
