I know the ladies all have some VERY exciting and fun things planned for you but I wanted to detail some of the things I have planned for you!!!! You know I love to take you step by step in screen capture video while I work in photoshop creating my layout. We will be doing MORE of that but NEW techniques that you will want to be in class for!! Not only that but I have created special brushes that will give you an totally different effect then the digital brushes crated from stamps because these have a opacity to them that you can't achieve in regular digital stamps, I am SUPER excited about them!

I am also SUPER exited to have this AMAZING template from Catherine, which is specially designed for the class. We will explore using digital papers in paper scrapbooking and other fun effects I want to show you! 

On top of all the exciting news... I get to invite ONE of you to be my GUEST for the class!
