      Hi Iona, I don’t have Scrapbooking as a hobby and like you make greetings cards for family and friends using PSP. My angle is via photography and wanted to be more creative. I have found that the techniques Carole teaches in the context of scrapbooking are applicable to any of the digital hobbies we each have. I started with the basic course and make copious notes. The key is practice and I am constantly amazed at the quality and ideas of many of the contributors in the group. You will enjoy it.

        So sad to hear. A character lost.

          Happy birthday Carole. Thank you for the tuition, your creative inspiration and for the birthday discounts today and over the weekend.

            Hi Carole, Yes I understand about the global time differences being a problem to get just right for everyone and am grateful that you provide a replay each time.  I thought I’d mention it because of the concentration aspect.

            I always see the worth and quality of what you provide but not sure that I would get the most out of full membership as it stands. I do not think that I would be able to use a Diamond membership to its fullest and instead would waste periods of access as a result with my ad hoc approach. I realise that the masterclasses can be bought singly. Something to think about…….

            Thank you again and happy new year. Not long now.

              Thank you Carole for asking for feedback and join you in wishing a great 2022 for us.

              I particularly like:

              • the community encouragement and tips and Carole’s close attention
              • webinars of varying subjects with Carole’s unique themes throughout.
              • the regular e-mail newsletter updates

              Wishes:

              • a Part 2 of the Bootcamp as a follow up from the beginners’ Bootcamp but with extra time to complete
              • Diamond Membership on an adhoc basis to make the most of my free time on PC
              • at the moment I do not wish to have a Facebook account and wonder if I would be missing out on the Campus as a result and what the advantage is on the Scrapbook Facebook pages compared to the main site
              • the biggest problem for me is being alert enough for the webinars that I love as they are late in the evening for us who live in the UK. Not sure what can be done about that though!  Having the recording available afterwards has been a great help.

              Gain:

              • I have gone from knowing nothing about PSP to being able to achieve, in a relatively short space of time, at a basic level, an objective to be creative using my existing photos
              • the free activities, competitions and freebies have been hugely beneficial and applicable within the context of the community
              • have gained knowledge and in case I have forgotten a technique have reference to the projects I have completed or tutorials available
