Awsome class! Users will be able to follow the instructions regardless of their level of expertise with photoshop, and the techniques introduced open up new ways to create art, especially when combined with Anna’s amazing products. As always, Anna is exceptionally generous with supplies that are included with the class, so you can easily follow the instructors and continue to create after the class is over.
Anna Aspnes –
Hey Amy, Thanks for taking the time to review – You are awesome! Anna

I have been attending Anna’s classes since 2009! I have NEVER been disappointed. In fact, I learn something new with each class. Beginners don’t hesitate. You will not have a problem following Anna’s teaching – she paces her classes to include the novice and the experts. She provides the necessary “goodies” too.
This particular course is a good place to begin.
Thank you, Anna for sharing your incredible talent.
Anna Aspnes –
Thank you! Thank you! Thrilled you enjoyed the classes 🙂

Since learning about Anna Aspnes Designs, every year I look forward to the NSD Live class. This year’s focus on masking was shared by three aA Team members (including Anna herself) who shared a variety of processes and techniques for the topic. I enjoy learning through these sessions, coming away with new ideas from each instructor, and meshing them into my own creative process. The lovely AA supplies Anna includes in the course fee is a very nice bonus. I always return to view the NSD Live session I get to download, over and over, when I need a nudge, or fresh ideas.
Anna Aspnes –
Thank you Beverly for the lovely review and learning something new is what it’s ALL about 🙂 Appreciate your time.

I am so thankful I was able to return home, in time to get this! I learned so much and can’t wait to re-watch it all again and put it all to use. Anna, Adryane and Linda are so giving of their time, knowledge and passion and make learning enjoyable. Thank all three of you!
Anna Aspnes –
So happy you enjoyed the event. Thank you for your time in sharing your feedback.

From the first time I saw Anna’s beautiful digital art, I was hooked. Then I found out she taught classes, and I have taken many. Her creativity is inspiring and I have learned new techniques in every class. Her explanations are easy to follow, and she always explains any differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. This class also includes lessons by two creative team members, Adryane and Linda Davis who are also amazing digital artists. Thank you Anna, for continuing to inspire and for sharing your incredible talent. This class is a winner!
Anna Aspnes –
Thanks so much Lynn. I really appreciate your time.

Ruth Auld – Thursday 16 May 2019.
I have been scrapbooking for 19 years, In 2019, I joined Anna’s Classes, they have taken me to great heights with Digital Art, and I love it. I recently had a computer crash and this left me quite depressed. So I took Anna’s Art play live NSD 2019 Class and I am back. We all need a hobby or an outlet and this is mine, It’s the place I go to create and be myself, this class is wonderful it starts with Adryane and her butterfly.its easy and beautiful. Then there is Linda who walks you through creating great pages. Then Anna brings the whole class together with her lesson. You don’t need experience you learn it in this class. I highly reccomend Anna’s classes, I can’t wait for the next one.
Anna Aspnes –
Thank you Ruth for your support.

I just finished rewatching this class following along with the .pdf instructions prepared by Adryane, Linda, and Anna. I used PS Elements 2018 and never had a problem reproducing the artwork. Any instructions that vary from Photoshop are always pointed out and explained. I am finally automatically using all kinds of masks in my work. I love how Adryane groups her artwork categories and color codes them! OMG, you would not believe what I was doing to accomplish this prior to watching her technique. Lots of layering and masking techniques in this class. Adryane, Linda, and Anna each presented thorough classes which I will be watching again and again. Thank you ladies and thank you Anna for all the supplies you give us.

Really enjoyed taking the ArtPlay Live class. I learned so much more about how to mask in Photoshop. I have just started using PS in the last year and am slowly making progress! I am working my way through the replays in my free time and I am so grateful for the pdf’s and the videos to review. Finished my first butterfly and I really like it. I have been making cards with my pictures but now I am moving into scrapbook pages. Lots of fun! Thank you so much,Adryane, Linda and Anna, for a great class.
Anna Aspnes –
Yes to fun 🙂

ArtPlay Live NSD 2019: I enjoyed this class since you enlist others to teach their techniques as well as you showing us a larger project. I especially liked the butterfly tattoo and I’ve always loved Linda Davis’ art – especially the pages with her adorable grandchild. All of you made using your products look so easy to get such beautiful artsy pages.
Anna Aspnes –
Thank you for your feedback Sharon.

Terrific class! I have been using Anna’s products for years and love the results, but this class is taking my work to the next level. It provided insights on blending, working with masks and simpler ways to get the look I want. It is so valuable to watch the work happen and be able to watch the replays. Amazing value for the class and all the products!
Anna Aspnes –
Thank you so much for the kind words.
