I loved this class! After fumbling around for years in PS trying to learn how to make my own layer styles, Anna’s instructions and videos are just what I needed. Plus, learning all about PS Shapes and Repetition was a huge bonus, and opens up a whole new world for my journey in digital scrapbooking. Thank you, Anna! This class is a definite must!

I work in Photoshop a lot and am quite familiar with most of the tools. However, this class did a deep dive into the shapes tool and the style panel and opened my eyes to new ways I can be creative with my scrapbook pages.

This class was so informative. Photoshop can sometimes feel overwhelming as there is so much there and yet it also seems a mystery – what do all those things mean and what can they do??!! Anna systematically goes through each of the Shapes and Styles tools giving so much understanding and inspiration. Glad I took the class.

Anna has created another highly recommended class. She lifted the veil on using shapes and styles in photoshop. After taking the class, I was able to incorporate the techniques into a current scrapbooking project, turning my last remaining “ordinary” elements into something extra special. Thanks for sharing, Anna! I appreciate it more than words can express.
