Are you looking for a solution on how to organize your digital scrapbooking supplies?  Whether you are a digital scrapbook layout artist or a designer, do you find yourself wishing your kits and supplies were more organized? Do you spend more time searching for the kit you want to use or the Photoshop tools you need, than you actually do scrapping or designing?  If your answer is “YES!” then I have a brand new class that can help!

Get Organized with acdsee is a course that will teach you how to organize your scrapbook kits when using the software, ACDSee 20.

My experience: 

When I first started digi-scrapping, I used Photoshop Elements.  I tried using the Photoshop Elements Organizer, but it was too slow for my needs. I tried organizing using Windows Explorer, Picasa, and a few other free programs that were available at the time. Nothing worked for me until I discovered acdsee. It was fast and easy to use.  At first, I was intimidated by the idea of tagging all of my kits and supplies. I mean, how much time would that take????  So I didn’t. I used ACDSee more as a Viewer than anything else, and it was great for that.  But it wasn’t very long before I realized that if I just set aside an hour a week, I could actually get some cataloging done, I not only would be able to work more efficiently but would be able to work with much less frustration. That’s what prompted me to start the cataloging process. Before long, I became motivated to spend more than an hour a week cataloging because the payoff in the time-I-spent-searching-for-things was so great! Today, I use ACDSee both for my personal and business needs, and I honestly don’t know how I would work without it.

Over the years, I have talked to both scrappers and designers about organization.  We ALL want to be organized, and utilize our time in the fun part of scrapping and designing.  That was my motivation for the creation of this course.

Just a few Pre-Class Comments:

Renee:

 “I bought ACDSee many years ago and never took the time to set it up and use the catalog system thinking it would take too long. Big mistake – as I have accumulated so many kits over the years. I am really looking forward to the course and know that with your help I will get things organized even if it is one kit at a time!”

Susan:

“You know me, I love to be organized. I have bought ACDSee 20 in preparation for your “Get Organized” class.  I have installed the program and am already liking it, and I don’t have a clue how to use it yet!”
