Here at Hummie's World we really are a true community. We support and encourage each other along our digiscrapping journeys and also through so much more! Things, good and bad, that happen to us in our 'real lives.' We care and share for each other!
We are moving the newsletter to the home page so you can always see the news and, in addition, sending it out through the newsletter list when it is posted. We are hoping that this enables everyone to better keep up with what is happening here at Hummie's World, even those knew to the site.
In addition, if you are on your phone and reading mail, you can easily click the link to read, but if you forget to come back to it, it will be on the homepage for your convenience.
I have always wanted the news on the homepage, as well as your inbox, but have not been able to find time to do both. It is hard to choose whether it be in your email or a link to it online and I have toggled the options in my head for a very long time.

The Fun Extras Take a trip with us through some of the more less known gems of the forum... and get to know each other in the process!
Course 2 This is one of the most popular classes at Hummie's World! Each lesson is a technique to be utilized in a layout which is taught by video. It is a great way to get layouts already on your to-do list finished while learning new skills at the same time. You are about to embark on a journey of techniques and discoveries that will have you scrapping for a long time! There are currently 88 lessons.
Course 2, Take 2 Because of the success of Course 2, many of our "pioneers" wanted to have a refresher course on what they've learned. So, we've taken the lessons, jumbled them up, and are offering them to you once again for a new icon for you to sport in the forum!
Elements You will be encouraged to think outside the box to use digital scrapbooking elements in a new way. Each lesson contains a download of an element in the category of the lesson. Use this download in your layout or any in your stash in a unique way in your layout.
Designer (enrollments on hold; will be a separate paid class when it returns; class being reformatted)
The above classes will always be visible for viewing to subscribers. Once enrolled, you can continue earning credit for lessons as long as you reach the monthly goal set for you. There is no need to enroll again each month. The below three classes will only be open for viewing during the month of June and will not be available again until December. Scrap as many layouts as you can in a month and then join us again in six months to pick up where you left off.
Faithbooking is simply keeping a "book" of your "faith." Faithbooking is integrating our faith beliefs and faith experiences into scrapbook pages. Faithbooking is leaving a legacy of faith heritage to our children, and our children's children. Faithbooking emphasizes our spiritual journal.
Recipe Are you looking for something to give as a gift? Then hurry to do these lessons and create a book or set of cards! Are you wanting a new fresh way to organize your own recipes? Choose a new set-up and create layouts with recipes on them. There are many ideas in ways to utilize digital scrapbooking layouts as recipes.
Use It! Challenge Each challenge has a download available made by Hummie. Use it in your layout. Get creative and be inspired! Just use it!
Here are some of the downloads available:
Testimony
We are honored and humbled by all who are inspired by this site and we appreciate the kind words you have shared with us. Here is an example of one such student here at Hummie's World. If you would like to share your testimony of how Hummie's World has helped you, please email Dawn at dawn@digiscrapfun.com
I have been working for several years in Corel's Paint Shop Pro and although it was working for me, I knew that I needed to switch to Photoshop Elements, which I did (it was a Christmas present from me BFF). Until I started doing the lessons here at Hummie's World, I was "lost in a vast sea" of too many tutorials for PSE that were not done with a scrapbooker in mind. I am so please with what I have learned in my short time here, and plan to continue with the classes for as long as it takes to complete them.
Everyone has been so helpful here, I feel like I am among friends ... yesterday I encountered an issue I had not seen before, so I sent a PM to Hummie and she had answered me within a couple of hours! What service ... thanks so much for all you do. I have learned SO MUCH in just a few days!
