Creative Digital Scrapbooking Ideas: Advanced Collage and Photo Artistry

Creative Digital Scrapbooking Ideas | 2 Class Session Replays | 3.5 Hours | Adobe Photoshop CC | Photoshop Elements Compatible

You already know how to scrapbook. This class is about learning how to do it more creatively.

There is a difference between a page that documents a memory and a page that expresses one through the artistry.  Creative Digital Scrapbooking Ideas: Advanced Collage Artistry (Scrapbook More Creatively) is designed for advanced digital scrapbookers, photographers, and memory-keepers who are ready to push past the predictable — and discover what becomes possible when collage techniques, photo extractions, blending, and intentional design principles work together.

Over two in-depth sessions, you will explore creative digital scrapbooking approaches and techniques that take your pages from well-made to expressing exactly what you want to say — the kind of pages that make people stop and look twice.

This Creative Digital Scrapbooking Ideas Class Is for You…

This is not a beginner class — and it is not trying to be. Creative Digital Scrapbooking Ideas (Scrapbook More Creatively) is built for experienced scrapbookers who already know how to create a photo Extraction and are ready to apply those skills in more artistically creative, more intentional ways. It is a good fit if you:

• Feel like your pages are good — but want them to feel more like art
• Are ready to explore collage and assemblage as a storytelling approach
• Want a clear, repeatable process for making more creative design decisions
• Are curious about how juxtaposition, symbolism, and narrative structure apply to memory keeping
• Want to use your extraction skills as the foundation for more expressive, artistically confident pages

Note: This class builds on the skills taught in the Extractions class series. Click here to explore these classes
