Welcome!

This is the guide for Course 1. This class introduces you to digital scrapbooking and takes you through the basics of learning Photoshop Elements through hands on learning.

However, if you are an experienced scrapper, do not underestimate this class as many have excaimed how surprised they were to learn so much.

In order to complete this course, you must be a Subscriber. Subscriptions are only $5.50 a month for full access.

I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better.

EARNING ICON

Once you complete all of the challenges, you will be awarded a special icon by your name. More importantly, your true reward will be your completed layouts. Please do the lessons in order.

You will be given a goal to do half of the class one month and half of the class the next month.  (Of course, you can always do them outside of the class).  At the beginning of each month, we will check to see everyone’s progress.

If you have been too busy to scrap or have had life circumstances that kept you from scrapping, you can always sign up again to pick up where you left off.  We will have saved your credits.  Please know that we will not look down on you for beginning again.  In fact, we welcome it!  Never give up! 

CREDIT THREAD

Please introduce yourself in the credit thread.

This is where you can check your progress through the class.  After you post in the thread, we will see it and then edit the first post in this thread to reflect that you have done the lesson next to your name.

This is also where we request that you ask questions about how the class works, help in finding things, or to notify us if there is an error in your credits (rather than by private e-mail, although we will answer you if you do send us an e-mail).  In this way, all staff may know what is going on to help you more efficiently.

The credit thread can always be found from the main page of the forum.  Just scroll down to the section on credits. 

You can ask specific questions about tutorials in the thread where the video is hosted.

TO BEGIN

The links on the guide take you back to the forum where the video lesson or challenge is located and where you will post your lesson when you finish. Click on the "Lesson 1 & 2" link above to find the link to the first lesson.

After you complete your layout, upload it to the gallery, and then use the links underneath the layout to post it in the challenge thread.

whendoneSome assignments require only to post information while others require layouts. Pay close attention to this icon for assignment instructions.

I would suggest watching the help videos to familiarize yourself with Hummie's World.  Especially watch the "Introduction to Classes" video. 

The gallery help videos are also important to help you learn how to upload and how to post from the gallery to the forum.
You can find help threads here.

It is helpful for us to get to know you better by name if you add something that we can call you into your signature line.  This can be found in “settings.”  You may also change both the "avatar" and the "profile" image from the settings.

Have fun and I look forward to watching you learn!
