I have always admired Anna Aspnes scrapbook pages so when I had the opportunity to take her travel class, I was so excited. I can say without a doubt she is an exceptional teacher. Watching her deconstruct her page and learn her thought process on how to build an exquisite page was fascinating. Anna invests a lot of time and effort to ensure you understand each step of the process. Her willingness to provide extra help and support throughout the entire class goes far beyond the norm. She makes herself available no matter when you need help. I learned so many new techniques (QR codes, blending modes, 2-page spreads, etc.) and thanks to this class, I have a beautiful book of my vacation memories to last a lifetime. I will never scrapbook the same way again thanks to learning from her. I highly recommend taking any class from Anna. I can’t wait to continue learning from her.

I’ve taken several of Anna’s classes and, after doing so, know that she puts her heart and soul into producing and teaching them, including the Travel Project 2023. Though this class is invaluable for scrapbookers at any level, it is essential for students new to the photo book process. Not only does Anna provide extensive supplemental documentation to support your journey, but she also has an “open-door” policy for answering all your lingering questions. Very few people would go to such great lengths to make sure her students are successful, but Anna goes above and beyond what’s expected. Highly recommended!

This Travel Project was the primary reason I was able to print a Blurb book using our vacation photos. Her class is insightful, instructional with 7 1 1/2 to 2 hour classes that you can review at anytime. Even though this is my 3rd book, I will take more of her Travel and End of Year Projects because of the new material that is always presented. I hope this helps.

As with all of Anna’s classes, there were so many nuggets of digi-scrapping tips and tricks. I customized the layouts and created a year-in-review calendar. I am very happy with the results, and I hope to do the same for 2024 (only starting earlier!!).
