"Very Much Worth It..."
I bought this book at a scrapbook store and paid lots more than $14. Renee Pearson does a great job of explaining things without boring you repeating or going so fast you can't figure out step 1 to step 2. Each chapter assumes you remember the previous step (which saves me from those boring reviews). The books and pages I ended up with were great, and it's easy to take the techniques and do even more with them. Go Renee!

"Love the templates"
I really liked getting the templates on the disc that came with the book.
Makes pumping some quick pages out really easy.

"Great Beginning Digi-Scrap book!"
This is EXACTLY the book I was looking for. I already knew that I wanted to digi-scrap, I had PSE, photos loaded and was READY TO GO! The PSE program is a little complex, so I was getting overwhelmed. I was also getting overwhelmed with all the sites dedicated to "how tos" and all of the downloadable kit options. I was spinning my wheels. I needed a step by step "how to" book to get me going quickly (I was anxious to get started) and to keep me focused.

This book is perfect. It came with a CD full of digi scrap kits. (Also came with a CD for a trial version of PSE for mac or windows, in case you don't have it yet and were on the line about purchasing). Each chapter describes step by step, with pictures, how to create a page using their digi kits on the CD and your own photos. Each chapter builds on the skills learned in the previous chapters. I found each chapter going very quickly for me (10-20 minutes each) -- I am well versed in computing but not the PSE program. This is a very effortless way to learn.

The are 5 different kits, I believe. They are very attractive sets. These sets can be used to create your own pages, outside of the tutorials.

Without this book, I don't think I would have gotten off to such a fast, positive start. I may otherwise be still thinking about wanting to get started and wondering if I could learn. It seems very effortless now. Probably the best "how to" book I've ever used (I'm usually not a fan).


"Great for New Digital Scrappers"
I've been digital scrapping for over 11 years and still bought the book. I feel great about having a book to give as a gift to my friends who are new to digital scrapping or to recommend to someone who is interested in getting started.

Renee did a great job!

"The Best Book Available for Learning Digital Scrapbooking "
This is absolutely the best book available for learning the ins and outs of digital scrapbooking. It comes with a disk that includes 4 collections of digital paper designs and digital elements to use with those papers. The disk alone is worth the price of the book.

Renee is practical and very easy to understand. She gives detailed, step by step instructions to help you create beautiful scrapbook pages. She also easily explains the basic and the advanced features of Photoshop Elements.

This is not just a book of pretty pictures, this is everything you need to start creating beautiful digital scrapbook pages.
