Scrap Girls' CEO, RO, has created FREE digital scrapbooking movie tutorials below to teach you the basics of creating digital scrapbooking pages.

Learn to basic digital scrapbooking techniques that you will use with your digital scrapbooking software (such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Image Maker or others). While these digital scrapbooking basics are demonstrated in Photoshop, the functionality that you will learn to use is universal. Once you understand these fundamentals, all you will need to do is "click-around" in your own software program to locate the commands that Ro discusses and you will be on your way to creating beautiful digital scrapbook layouts using the beautiful alphabets, embellishments, and digital papers that are available in our own Scrap Girls Boutique!
