Site Info

Hi, I'm Jen; welcome to my site.

Some random stuff:

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 strive to never infringe on anyone else's copyright.

Everything here is my personal interpretation of scrapbooking and should not be taken as absolute truth.

Books I have read or used for reference in researching specific subjects while writing this blog:

--> Adobe(R) Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book, the official training workbook from Adobe Systems, - this one was the most useful.  It's basically made of awesome.
--> The Photoshop WOW! Book, Linnea Dayton & Jack Davis, 1993
--> Designer Photoshop, 2nd edition, Rob Day, 1995
--> Adobe Photoshop 5.0 for Photographers, Martin Evening, 1998

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 ;o) These books are pretty out of date in some ways, but very helpful in others -- and they were free to use, so that's what I went with!)
