Digital Scrapbook Photo Book Class Replay

This digital scrapbook photo book class replay gives you everything you need to plan, create, and print an artsy keepsake — in your own time, at your own pace, in Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

The aA Project has been the most-loved event of the year since 2011. This is the full replay of the 2023 edition — six recorded sessions, written support, a complete template collection, and all the guidance needed to take a photo book from idea to printed pages. No live dates to juggle. No pressure to keep up. Just the whole experience, available the moment you register.

Whether you are working through a year in review, a family trip, a decade of photos that deserve a proper home, or a story that has been waiting — this class gives you the structure, the artistry techniques, and the motivation to actually finish.

25 Years of Digital Scrapbook Photo Books — and Counting

The aA Project has been running as an annual event since 2011. In that time, hundreds of students have gone from a folder of unsorted photos to a printed book they can set on the coffee table. Some have completed one. Some have a shelf full. The approach works because it is structured enough to follow and flexible enough to make entirely your own.

The 2023 replay gives you the full experience — the planning, the artistry, the community, and the templates — in your own time. Watch a session in the morning, pick it up again next week, revisit a technique six months from now. It is all there, and it does not expire.

See the full Digital Scrapbooking Journey Evolved – 25-Year’s of Memories for a look at how the experience — and the artistry — has grown over the years.
