I’ve been digitally scrapping for over 15 years, and have taken lots of classes. I got more out of this Savvy Photobook project (and other of Anna’s Photobook projects) than most any other class. The guidance on planning, the reviews of pages and techniques, the practice a multi-page Photobook provides, are priceless. Then there are the WordArt prompts, beautiful titles for every page. I’ve avoided “projects” in the past, preferring to just scrap the every day, i.e. no planning and consistency required. But with this class, I feel like I now know how to write a coherent “book”, and I’m looking forward to writing my next “book”.
Anna Aspnes –
Oh brilliant! Thanks for sharing Diane. Appreciate your feedback about this class. Always helps to plan future memory keeping adventures 🙂

All of Anna’s photo book project classes are excellent! They all cover similar topics of planning, structure and printing, but this class offered a unique method for using her templates. I absolutely love Anna’s templates and in this class, she shows you how to mix and match them to create your own unique layouts. Plus, she offers bonus word prompts to help you get started with page themes and WordArt clusters to add that special touch to your pages. This is a not to miss project class!
Anna Aspnes –
So fun to see your finished project Susan 🙂 Glad you enjoyed.

I’ve taken a lot of courses over the last few years and I’ve learned a lot from each of them. This particular class is so unique in that it’s focused a lot on the templates and how to use them as is, or to mix them with others, or to use parts of different templates to make a whole new layout. The prompts and WordArt Anna provided have certainly helped to add titles and meaning to each page. This has been an extremely enjoyable class, and while my pages are still a work in progress, everything I’ve learned is invaluable. Thank you, Anna for the time you take to make each lesson one worth watching again and again.
Anna Aspnes –
I’m so happy you enjoyed this class Maggie. I appreciate your time in sharing your experience. I love helping people elevate their artistry!

I loved this class. It was great to learn how to switch out my templates to make them work for me. Anna is always so helpful if you have questions about anything. In my opinion there is nothing better for the value or the instruction you get from these classes. Thanks Anna I’ve created a beautiful album.

Thank you so much for your support in my classes. I love that you loved it!
