Default Digi In Deep?

Is anyone taking this class with Jessica Sprague besides me. So far I like it a lot (three days into it) and was pleased to see some of Katie Pertiet's and other DDer's work in the kit for the first layout.

I did this class last year - August I think.
Loved it and learnt so much.

The best part - is that you have access to the lessons for forever more. I have been back a few times to check up on how to do certain things, very handy.

I took it last summer also and loved it. Need to go through it again though--think I have forgotten most of it!

Have to laugh. I decided that instead of moving on to the next part of week one--my own layout--I needed to go through the first layout in the course again, so I'd etch it into my memory. I still have to turn back to the videos again and again to recreate it, though. Heaven only knows if I'll even remember I took this course in a year's time!

I was so dissapointed when this class first opened because it filled up in a flash - fortunately I pre-registered before Christmas so I'm taking it now!

I just did the same thing as you Cheska, and went through the layout twice! I was working on a second layout but had so many photos and papers opened in Photoshop at the time, as I was closing them, I closed the layout by mistake before saving it! I think now, I'll just concentrate on learning the first lesson before starting another.

I have the little lever thing on Jessica's video screen down pat, I move it ever so slowly while on pause and will probably break the darn thing, but Jessica needs to slow down a little for slow listeners like me!

Remember next Monday at 10, our awesome Cassie is having a tutorial chat "How Did They Do That" Whatever you do, don't miss out on it!

I'm doing it too, though I am finding it intense and keep getting distracted by other things like the challenges on here.

Would love to join in on the tutorial chat, but it happens at 3am for me. My DH puts up with a lot of madness with my scrapping, but he might draw the line at me getting up then to play in a chatroom, will just have to wait till later in the year when he's away for a week so won't know!

I did it last year and learned a lot, although I too have to go through it again, since I since switched to PS. That's the great thing, you can always go back to your video

I'm also enrolled in the current Digi: In Deep class but haven't had a chance to view this week's tutorial. I'm been taking care of my grandchildren this week while my daughter-in-law is nursing her sprained foot. I think my task Saturday will be to plant myself in front of the computer to catch up with Jessica.

kikimama, you don't need to go to get up in the middle of the night to get the benefit of Cassies tutorial chats, they are posted in the shop a few days later for just a few dollars.
She's a terrific teacher, and the PDF readout is very easy to follow!

It's great to see everyone's use of them in the "How To and Quick Tips" Gallery here at DD.

I have also taken all of Jessica's classes - loved them all! I, too, need to go back and review. I'm about to upgrade to CS4 from CS2, so I'll be finding tutorials for that, too Have fun!
