Hybrid (Self Paced)

About this class

Join Ali Edwards for a fun, creative online workshop focused on the basics of hybrid scrapbooking. Hybrid scrapbooking pairs printed digital products such embellishments, brushes + layered templates from your computer with traditional scrapbooking products. Over the four weeks Ali will walk you through her favorite ways to use printed digital products to get more of your stories told. 

My goal is to walk you through the steps of making digital products a part of your regular memory keeping process. That might mean simply printing a digital embellishment or journal card or it might mean starting your entire layout on the computer and then printing it out and adding physical embellishments on top.  

Examples of techniques will include both past projects and new ones centered on showing how to work with specific kinds of digital products. Video tutorials will be all new using Photoshop Elements 14 or Photoshop (depending on the project). When applicable Ali will also show how to use the digital products in Word. Please know that this is NOT a workshop that will teach you all the ins and outs of either Photoshop program. This workshop, as with all of Ali's workshops, will focus on the ways in which she uses her computer and digital products vs. exploring every available technique and option.

Included in the cost of the workshop is a full digital package of products, similar to what is offered in my Digital Story Kits™  (journal cards, brushes, and embellishments - valued at $19.99), and a sample layered templates and additional digital items as they make sense for specific lessons (these will be made available later in the class). This workshop will be especially helpful for people who are subscribers to my Digital Story Kit™ and have been wondering how to make the most of their subscription. 

As always, even with a focus on working with and printing digital products, Ali's projects and ideas will be rooted in stories and her examples will be showing how the products can best support the stories you want to tell. 

PLEASE NOTE | This is a self paced class. All lessons will be available to you upon purchase.  Recommended class supplies listed here are not needed for the workshop - they are simply some of Ali's personal favorites.

Recommended Supplies

There is not a specific software requirement for this class. That said you will need some kind of software that will allow you to open and edit digital embellishments. Photoshop Elements 14 or Photoshop is recommended because we will be working with digital layered templates (you can not work on digital layered templates in Word). 

  • A printer and paper to print out the digital products (recommendations will be included in the classroom)
  • Patience working with computers (it helps)
  • A desire to learn and play and experiment with bringing digital products off your computer
  • Stories to tell
