Don't forget to upload to the gallery and then post a link in the challenge thread here so we can leave you some love.

THE BOOMERANG NEWS
We are pleased to announce two new members to the staff here at Hummie's World. You can read the complete blog post here.
NEW COLLAB
Here is a blog post complete with layouts which we hope inspire you.
Adorable Beginnings Collab is now in the store! Our designers worked hard on this new baby themed kit, suitable for both boys and girls. Take a look!
Adorable Beginnings is a collab in honor of Hummie's first granddaughter. However, it was created so that it could be used for both boys and girls.
The sale of collabs support the cost of the site, so we appreciate your patronage.

NOVEMBER CLASSES
Registration open! (Only $5.50 per month! -- we just want you to scrap and learn). You can enrol in the classes through November 7.
You can register in this thread.
First, however, you will need to be a subscriber. A "subscriber" has access to the "Subscriber Area" of the forum and upon payment of $5.50 per month, can access all of the classes and downloads immediately.
You can work through the videos on your own at any time, but to have us follow your progress, encourage you, and mark credits you must register for the class.
Click to read about: Course 1 (For those new to digital scrapbooking, this class teaches an introduction to the hobby and the basics of Photoshop Elements)
Click to read about: Filters (Each video lesson challenges you to use a different filter in a unique way in your layout)
Click to read about: Templates (currently 90 templates available for download)
Click to read about: Photography (Learn your camera and more; both point-and-shoot & DSLR)
Click to read about: Assorted Challenges (Just crazy! You never know what I'll have you doing!)
Click to read about: Prayer Journal (Put your prayers to paper by theme)
Click to read about: Speed Crop (Follow previous speed scrap instructions; we will have a few new dates too)
The guides on each of the above links describe the class. Be sure to click on the "set" links to see each lesson or challenge as well as previews of any downloads that might be with the lesson, such as the template class.
Once enrolled, you will receive an email on or about the first of August with details about the class. Classes begin the first of each month. Enrollment is open through the 7th of each month.
The designer lessons are open! However, it has changed somewhat, so please review the Designer Guide. The cost is separate from the Subscriber Area. In addition, I have discontinued (except for a few remaining from previously) the crediting of these lessons for a forum icon. You may view the Designer Lessons at any time and do them self-paced. You may choose to post and share in the threads or just lurk.
The Designer Mentoring, when opened, will require participation and be more structured.
