Carole Asselin of Scrapbook Campus joins me for this episode of the Scrapbooking Inspiration Podcast.
Carole has been an avid PaintShop Pro user for over 10 years and has taught digital scrapbooking online and in-person to hundreds of users. Over the years, she has written hundreds of tutorials and since opening the Scrapbook Campus four years ago, she has converted the plain written tutorials into multimedia ones, including videos and detailed guidebooks. When time allows, Carole also likes to create scrapbook pages but is more interested by the technical aspect of digital scrapbooking.
Listen in as we chat about using Paintshop Pro for your digital scrapbooking.
Look at you, you’re a pro scrapbooker! Scrapbooking made easy. Your scrapbook will be enjoyed for years to come and will keep your memories preserved for all the world to see. Enjoy reliving your trip to the Bahamas, the family reunion where you got a horrible sunburn and your child’s first little league game. Scrapbooking is a full-fledged art form. The difference between a good scrapbook and a bad scrapbook is like the difference between a stick figure drawing and the Mona Lisa. Scrapbooks are fun, awesome to share, and a great way to stay engaged with your favorite photos and memories. They can also be intimidating if you.
