G'day, I'm Melissa, Aussie mum, digital scrapbooker, professional organizer and teacher. I love pairing photos with memories of meaningful moments in my everyday life.
Here in Perth, I spend my everyday life with my husband, Phill, and our three little ones: Emily, Edward, Lucy and Matthew. Digital scrapbooking helps me tell the stories in our life. I love the versatility of digi scrapping. I can go simple, using phone photos and a line of journaling. Or, I can spend time in Photoshop Elements embellishing layouts with digital paint, flowers and bling.
At Digital Scrapbooking HQ, I would love to introduce you to the joy of scrapbooking with your computer. I've been teaching and working with Adobe Photoshop Elements for many years, and my former career in education gives me the unique blend of skills needed to teach the technology skills, without the stress and fuss.
If you want help from a real life scrapbooker you're in the right place.
At DigiScrapHQ you'll find video tutorials that will help you learn about digital scrapbooking. I've designed my classes to answer your Photoshop Elements questions. Finally you will be able record your photos, stories, and memories in gorgeous digital and printed layouts that convey your unique style and perspective.

She should have used a photo that she did not like at first and do some noticeable changes.

The course really helped me as I was a complete beginner. However, as I mentioned earlier, videos 6 and 7 are duplicates. Need to upload 7, which is supposed to be printing multiple photos on a 4 x 6.
