I met Sharon March 2023 at a scrapbooking weekend where I was a vendor for FOREVER. May of 2023 she purchased both Artisan 6 & Historian 6. She also signed up to take my beginner classes for both. She finished both classes and started attending my Digital Cafes. I believe all of these helped her to get going in Artisan.
Her first book was a reprint of a traditional scrapbook she had digitized. Once her pages were in FOREVER, she used the 12x12 Scrapbook Page Project Bundle by pixels2Pages to create a photo book. She added a few pages and ordered two copies for her sons at the beginning of December (just in time for Christmas).
The thing that I believe helped the most is that she has come to my FOREVER Day Crop starting in the Fall of 2023 She committed a few hours every Monday to work on her books.
In January she attended a weekend retreat and she said to me, it feels like my page needs something. It was then that I knew she was ready for the next class Artisan 6 Tool Time 101. She watched week 1 and learned all about finishing touches she can put on a page and fell in love with overlays. We reviewed her project before ordering and I gave her a few tips and reminded her on how to add shadows, glows, etc. to finish her pages. She was able to order her second book in January 2024. This was a book about fun activities & adventures from 2023.
In the next month she was able to complete her third book almost completely on her own. This vacation book was ordered just over a month after she returned from the trip. Amazing!!
She's still learning & having fun, but working on it regularly helps her to start where she left off the last time and there is less re-learning what she figured out the time before.
Congratulations to Sharon for your great progress with your photo projects.
