Start Scrapping Smarter this Year!

Now that the rush and bustle of the holidays is over, and the kids are (hopefully) going back to school, it’s time to spend a little time on you!

We want to help you get off to a good start with your scrapping, we’ve put our three most popular classes on sale for just $10!

Brush Up! Using Brushes in Photoshop and Elements
Do you know how to use the brush tool to its best advantage? Do you think the term ‘jitter’ has to do with excessive coffee consumption?

In one hour, we will cover many things you never knew about your brush tool.  See the course description here for what we plan to cover.

This class has something or PS and PSE users alike! We support PSE5/PSCS2 and up.

Dates:
January 17, 2010 9PM Eastern (8 Central, 6 Pacific) or
February 27, 2010 10PM Eastern (9 Central, 8 Pacific)

Pick up Your Pen
Drawing with the Pen tool in Photoshop is easy once you know how!  No more jaggies, or shaky lines – with the pen tool you will be drawing smooth vector curves and nice straight lines.  We will show you all the ins and outs of this sometimes intimidating tool, until you are drawing like a pro!

This class is for Photoshop users ONLY, PSE does not have this tool!

Dates:
January 24, 2010 9pm Eastern (8 Central, 6 Pacific) or
March 6, 2010 10pm Eastern (9 Central, 7 Pacific).

Photoshop Tips & Tricks
Are you getting the most from your Photoshop? Join us for our top Tips and Tricks!

We will show you how to:

• Color-code your menus for ease of use.
• Make invisible all layers except one – with one click!
• Try out fonts right on your document – quickly and easily!
• Quick and easy ways to make better selections
• Keep all those layers straight – easily!
• How to make your own keyboard shortcuts for things you do a lot – and what custom shortcuts WE use!
• And so much more!

This class was written with PSCS3/4 users in mind, but there is a great deal for PSE users too.  I guarantee you will learn something you never knew that you now cannot live without!

Dates:
January 13, 2010 10PM Eastern (9 Central, 7 Pacific) or
February 20, 2010 10PM Eastern (9 Central, 7 Pacific) or
March 22, 2010 10PM Eastern (9 Central, 7 Pacific)

All our classes are taught in our interactive gotomeeting.com “classroom”. The day of the class we will email you a link to get into the room.  You will be able to see the instructor’s screen and hear through your computer’s speakers.  If you have a microphone (either a built-in one or a headset microphone) you will be able to talk back!  If not, you can still ask questions in real time via chat window.

We think this is the fastest, easiest way to learn Photoshop!  When you ask a question, we can go over the information right then – until you’re confident you have a good grasp of the information.

NEVER FORGET – once you’ve paid for a class here at Scrappers Workshop, you’re an alumnus!  Any time you need a refresher class, just email us and ask if there’s a free seat.  If we have space, you are welcome to sit in on the same class as many times as you need to stay up-to-date with your skills.

So come join us in the classroom – and let’s get scrapping!
