Digi Know?

Digi know that resaving JPGs over and over again will cause the quality to degredate? I sure didn't, but I learned this today from the talented Claudette San Pedro who taught our Digi 101 Scrapbooking class today @ Pineapple Cove. We were so lucky and fortunate to have her come teach. She did an amazing job. Thank you so much Claudette for taking time out of your schedule..I can't wait for the next one!!

We were so fortunate to have Mindy Terasawa donate her Monkey Do Kit which everyone received a copy of. We also received a template from her Moss Scape Quickpages which was used as an excercise in class. Here's my finished layout I made of me and my sister. Everyone says we look like twins...really? cause I don't see it. =)

























Working on the layout excercise, we learned about layers, how to use quick pages, different tools within PSE, how to drop shadow, erase parts of a photo without deleting another image and how to save our digi layouts for printing. PNG files were explained as well as other file formats like psd and jpg.

I forgot my memory card at home, so I'll have to upload photos of the class tonight to the sidebar. I learned so much today and had lots of fun with the girls, thanks again Claudette!! Until next time...

Getting Digi With It!

Interested in going digital but don't know where to start? Pineapple Cove will be holding a Digi 101 class on August 29 from 1pm-3pm. We'll teach you the basics to get started, taking you through navigating around PE, and basic tools (move tool, crop tool, marquee tool, image resizing, saving image for print) to create a scrapbook layout.

By the end of this class, you'll complete a one page layout using design elements from Mindy Terasawa's Monkey Do kit. Thanks Mindy for allowing us to use this kit for the class! Isn't it too adorable? Perfect to scrap about either a boy or a girl...make sure to have photos saved on your laptop that you'll want to use for the class.


























This is a Beginner class, taught by talented Claudette San Pedro. To learn a little bit about Claudette, please visit our Calendar to read her bio. This will be a hands on class..if you don't currently have Photoshop Elements, or Photoshop, we can help you install the trial version of Photoshop Elements 7.0 on your laptop to follow along as we create a digital layout. So please bring your laptops to class ready with photos you want to design with.

To register or inquire about this class, please call the store at 735-3553 or stop by in person.
