I LOVED the class!!! I learned all kinds of things I didn’t know before, and I had a wonderful time doing it! I was particularly impressed with how thorough the lessons are, and how available Pattie was to us, leaving comments and encouragement for all of us daily, both in the gallery and in the forums. I recommend the class for anyone–from beginning digital scrapbooker to proficient Photoshop user. It was WONDERFUL!! And I still want Pattie to do an advanced class for us!!

The Digital Techniques for Art Journaling class was the one of the most inspiring classes in which I have participated. Every lesson was full of techniques, ideas, and tips – and all were so clear and easy to follow. I was looking for inspiration to push me in the direction of digital journaling and this class was just what I needed. It was a real spark to get me thinking outside of traditional scrapbook page design and towards more “artsy” layouts. –Barbara Lane
The whole time I am doing the lesson I am thinking, how did she figure all this out? I would never learn this on my own. It all seems like magic to me! -Merrilee Larson
Pattie, definitely loving this class – I am a technique junkie- and you are a super supplier. Thanks! -Monica Skowbo
I am loving this class…I feel like I am in kindergarten and can’t wait for the teacher to pass out the scissors and crayons. Thanks Patti for another awesome lesson! Can’t wait for the next one! – Jana Morton
