Pattie created her first traditional scrapbook in 2002 as a present for her daughter’s graduation. She soon realized that she loved chronicling family memories — but she was often frustrated by her imperfect journaling, ink smudges, and the occasional blob of glue in her hair. So once she discovered digital scrapbooking, she never looked back. Her digital skills not only provide a more refined production, but now she could print multiple copies and share with everyone in the family.
Pattie’s designs have been featured in numerous scrapbooking magazines. As a Contributing Editor of Digital Scrapbooking magazine, she wrote the “101″ column which taught beginning techniques using Photoshop Elements. Fellow scrappers can also purchase her layered templates and other digital products at www.designerdigitals.com. Pattie currently teaches online digital scrapbooking classes at Get It Scrapped! www.debbiehodge.com/xcart/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=8
