A lot of digital scrapbookers describe themselves as “self-taught.” I am NOT one of those scrapbookers. The first time I opened up my free 30-day trial of Photoshop Elements in June 2007, I just stared at the blank screen. Uh. Yeah. No clue. So, I brought out my trusty scrapbooking magazine and found Jessica Sprague. She had written a couple of articles about digital scrapbooking, and since I loved her layouts, I tried her little tutorials. Next, I looked up her blog and found more great “Photoshop Friday” tutorials. After a couple of months, I discovered that she was starting a new class called Up and Running with Photoshop, and I was able to sign up to be in the second round of that class (Oct. 2007 baby!!). Since then, I have taken almost all of Jessica Sprague’s seriously amazing, video-based, and now self-paced, digital scrapbooking, hybrid scrapbooking, journaling, photography, photo-editing, and organization classes. Whew! She just keeps coming out with more and more classes, and I just keep signing up!!

I’m totally digi!
When I scrap for myself, I’m 100% digital. But I still have to drag out the paper and scissors and glue to do scrapbooks for a group.
Can THC staff enter! LOL!!! Dang it, as I’d so love to win a JS class
Well I do a bit of everything in my scrapping world. Started out as a paper scrapper about 6 years ago, did a bit of playing with PSE in the early days until I discovered JS’s classes and once I completed the Up and Running class, I have never looked back! But I’ll never give up my paper scrapping. I love to go back and forth between the two and then combine them into hybrid – the best of both worlds! Good luck everyone too
Well, I’m a little hybrid. I mostly do completely digi, but have been experimenting with hybrid lately!
Thought I was paper but realising I am leaning towards hybrid. The best of both worlds.
I am totally totally diggin’ digi digidigidigi!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m hybrid, but getting more and more digi every day.
thank your for generous change to win this is way cool
oh no I forgot, too excited about the chance towin i am mostly a digital scrapper but I love paper projects
I am all digital…….
I’m a little digi and a little hybrid. I’ve taken a few of your classes – not this one yet, but it’s on my WISH LIST!!! I have learned SO SO much from your teaching style. I have taken other classes before yours – - but I honestly learned more in the FIRST chapter of the FIRST class I ever took of yours than I did in all of those other classes. Thanks for the opportunity to win this class!
I’m all digi (but you knew that!) Happy NSD!
Looking forward to other digital scrapbooking classes with Jessica!
I have done a *few* paper pages and a *few* digipages thru Jessica’s classes, but no hybrid yet!
I am a hybrid gal. I have been that for nearly 4 years.
I gave you a link on my Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home ( I hope this link works. . .)
I am paper and digi, but not hybrid, if that makes any sense. I usually do either ALL paper layouts (gathering with friends to scrap) or ALL digi layouts (at home on my Mac). =) Thanks for this great giveaway!
Right now I am a traditional paper scrapbooker but I am intrigued by the digi thing. Would love to win the class!
I’m a blend of “a little bit digi” and ” totally diggin’ digi “. I love to pull out the buttons and baubles and the scissors and glue for my hybrid projectsl… but my LO’s are done 100% digitally. Thanks for the chance to win one of Jessica’s classes.
I am a hybrid scrapper now! I took Episode 1 of Alchemy and fell in love. I’ve paper scrapped for years, digi scrapped for a few months, and now am just smitten with hybrid! The best of both worlds!
I am mostly digi with a little bit of paper scrapper still in me. Just can’t seem to give up all the papers and embellies. I collected too much of it when I was completely paper scrapping and feel the need to use some of it still.
love me some awesome jessica hybrid! thx for the chance!
I am mostly digi but still like to create little books and projects for gifts. Thanks for the contest. Love Jessica!
I’m mostly digi. I still do the paper thing for gifts, but my scrap stuff is all digi at this point. It happened pretty quickly, I only discovered digi about 8 months ago.
Totally digi! (Well, I have all this paper and stuff in a closet, but since I do NOT use it; it does not count!)
I use to do traditional and digi but never hybrid, that is until Jessica! I love hybrid, too! It truely is the best of both worlds and Jessica really makes it easy to take her lessons & personalze it to whatever works for you. Fun!!
I am mostly a digi scrapper thanks to Jessica! I do dabble a bit now into hybrid because I love making notebooks, journals, mini books, etc.
I seem to be on a digi phase right now, but have not completely given up paper yet.
Scrapbooking, what’s that?? i’m so far behind that I just make cards now, but would say I’m a paper scrapper trying to learn the digi world!
Digi….thanks to Jessica’s Classes!!
I am so new to all of this I don’t even know yet if I am a paper scrapper, hybrid, or all digi. I think I am going to be hybrid because I just love all the papers and embellishments I am starting to horde but I also love all the cool things I am learning with Jessica Sprague!
Thanks~
[...] go! They are having a uber fantastic giveaway from the super talented Jessica Sprague. CLICK HERE to learn [...]
I am primarily digi. I have done a few hybrid projects in the past, but not many. I have plugged your site on my blog to be entered twice into the contest. Yay! Here is the URL to my blog post: http://evakipler.com/?p=1003
Keeping my fingers crossed that I win!
Hybrid but leaning more toward the digi side.
I am starting the whole digital scrapping, but have done paper for years.
There is no better teacher out there, in my opinion!! I do a little of both but tend to be more digi for layouts and do lots of hybrid projects
I use paper for projects (mini albums, vacation displays, etc) and digi for the day to day stuff
All paper scrapper – curious about the digi-world… thanks for the chance!
