Scrapbooking Inspiration Podcast: Digital Scrapbooking HQ

Did you know there are more than half a dozen programs you can use on your computer to create digital scrapbook pages?

In today's episode of the Scrapbook Inspiration Podcast I'm joined by 6 fabulous ladies to talk about the different software programs out there for you to work with. Let's meet this week's guests!

Carole Asselin (Cassel) from Scrapbook Campus 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 two 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.

Since 2007, scrappers Mary Moseley and Jackie Lyals from Be Photo Wise have been teaching people the why’s and how’s of getting their printed photos and digital images and videos organized, backed up and accessible so that they can be displayed for family and friends to see and enjoy.

Mary and Jackie are certified photo organizers, members of the Association of Personal Photo Organizers and founding members of the Save Your Photos Day Alliance (www.saveyourphotos.org) which gives them all the tools and expertise to guide and inspire you to get organized, preserve and creatively share and celebrate your treasured memories.

Karen Fitting from Photos Kept Alive calls herself a digi-scrapbooker but has been enjoying hybrid projects combining digital and traditional styles. At Photos Kept Alive she shares her crafty projects as well as helps her customers with “all things photos” – including video transfer, scanning, scrapbooking and weekend events. What she loves most is listening to the stories that go with the pictures. Karen lives in Northern California with her husband and Cocker Spaniel-child.

Tameka Bond is one of the founding members of pixels2Pages, which is the preferred digital training site and resource for Panstoria's Artisan and Historian software users. The pixels2Pages website will celebrate its fifth anniversary on April 7, 2015. Though her duties at pixels2Pages are a full-time job, she also have a full-time day job as a paralegal. Tameka is a wife and mother of three children ages 10,13, and 17. They are the inspiration behind her designs, however being from New York City, she find that her surroundings play a big role in her designs as well. Tameka considers herself a tra-digital scrapbooker and hybrid crafter as she combines digital and traditional designs in her albums and other crafting projects. Whatever she crafts, Artisan software is in the mix.

Blayne White from Scrap Room Software has been an entrepreneur for the past 20 years, managing every aspect of an award winning professional photography studio with her husband, Bryan. After handling the studio’s transition from film to digital and hearing customer’s struggles with their own personal digital photos for several years, Blayne decided to follow her passion for photos and scrapbooking to create an answer to the digital dilemma for photo enthusiasts - ScrapRoom Software. ScrapRoom combines the organization of photos, stories, digital elements and the ability to create digital projects into one software, easy enough for even the beginning digital photographer or scrapbooker. ScrapRoom helps users get their stories and photos off their devices and back into their lives. Mac and PC.
