This is the 2nd LO I have completed taking Jessica Sprague's Up and Running version 2, digital scrapbooking class. Jessica Sprague has so many excellent classes, both digital and hybrid, and I'm currently taking several of them. They are online and self-paced (unless you take a class when it is first offered or if it is offered several times a year, then the instructor goes along with you, week by week), and you can do them on your own time, anytime. That is the beauty of it. Most of the classes are just that, self-paced. You can access them anytime, forever. Jessica even has several free classes you can take too.
I never thought that I would be bit by the digi bug but it seems to be getting a little easier every time I try it. I've always wanted to do some hybrid work so this will be great if I can keep getting the hang of it. I haven't really given the choice of pictures a lot of thought while taking this class since I just want to learn the ropes, but I can't wait to get down to making some really great stuff with the pictures I love the most. I do plan on doing Project Life with hybrid work and that should be really fun.
Everyone have a great week coming up!

I never thought I would....

I've always considered myself to be the hands on type of artist. I like to get my hands all inky and dirty. However, when my art started sending me on digital quests to make my hands-on art better, I got bit a little by the technology bug. I'm no stranger to computers. I've had one since 1994, when my son's stupid neurologist said I should buy him one to do educational things on. He obviously underestimated the intelligence of said child to find games and gaming communities at the tender age of 9 before the kind of online gaming we have now even existed. So my son basically taught me a lot of what I know. That was 18 years ago and I've learned a lot about computers, both pc and macs, though I prefer a mac any day of the week. But sitting and learning about digital memory keeping was not something I ever thought I'd think was interesting. Recently though, because of my desire to learn Photoshop, I signed up for Jessica Sprague's "Up and Running v.02" and I finished my first LO last night with a quick page and I must say though I did encounter some issues here and there I was able to finish it. It makes me happy to look at it too. It is two pictures of my son that are a couple of my favorites of him when he was little. He is a man now expecting his own son in October and I'm really looking forward to documenting that little guy's life. So, if you think you won't like the digital scrapbooking, give it some time. You might just get bit too!
Here's my LO. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
