Since childhood I have jumped out of bed early on days when the world is blanketed in white. Snow mornings always feel full of promise and possibility. Today I was excited to get started on Jessica Sprague's Family History Album class and I hope you are too.
Week 1
1. Purchase Family History Album Class 1. Use code FHA385 at checkout to receive a twenty percent discount. Create and save your password.Time: 30 minutes
2. Sign in to JessicaSprague.com. On the upper right click on My Classes tab. Download and/or print all class materials. Extract files as needed. I made a file titled Family History Album on my desktop and used CutePDF to save each day's instructions. See snip at right to check that you have all of the files.
Time: 2 hours
3. Read through all materials. Decide if you would like to request a JS Mentor.
Time: 30 minutes
4. Check your software. You will need Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop Elements
for this class. It is not necessary to have the newest version, but you can download a free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. Time: varies by software experience
5. Gather, Organize & Create Title Page
This week we will complete days 1 to 3 of the Family History Album Class.
Time: varies by how much you want to do
6. Blog Post for Sunday, November 6
Post your title page using the heading [Your Title] - Scrapbook Sunday. Your post can simply include your title page image or any of the following ideas (or your own);
- which family you will be scrapbooking
- why you are scrapbooking this family
- challenges you faced to get this project started
- solutions to your challenges
- anecdote about your family

Be sure to include a link back to my blog, either to the Family History Scrapbooking page or to this week's instructions. I will have links to your blogs and posts and I will request a Scrapbook Sunday link in the daily Genealogy Blogging Beat. Post any questions below or on the Family History Scrapbooking page.
Happy Sunday and stay warm!

I am so excited! This is going to be fun. Just the motivation I need to begin digital scrapbooking. Thanks Jen for the push I needed!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm getting everything ready today: software set up, class purchased, and materials downloaded. I can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteValerie and Stephanie, Glad you are both on board and happy to be doing this project with you. I need the motivation too! Jen
ReplyDeleteI'm excited as well. Participated in ScanFest today and got a lot of pictures scanned in.
ReplyDeleteAt least one of us made it to ScanFest. Have you been before Jackie? How did you like it? I went once, and have wanted to go back ever since, but the timing hasn't been quite right.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone needs directions on how to change the papers in the cover page template, please let me know and I will send them to you. I just finished mine and I can't wait to share it.
ReplyDeleteI could use some help on changing the papers please...
ReplyDeleteIf you are using Photoshop Elements, this YouTube video will help you change pictures and papers in a scrapbooking template: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zcfIwelQfLk Let me know if you have any other questions. Jen
