you CANNOT go wrong with any of Cassie's tutorials. She always provides everything you need to know. I've learned so many great techniques AND lots of tips I never knew existed.

ditto on Cassie's tutorials. You learn WAY more with each one than just what the technique is for that tutorial.
I also think Katrina Kennedy's ebook and tutorials on photography are fantastic for making you say "wow" about photography.

Definitely agree with the above both Cassie and Katrina are wonderful teachers. Did you do the getting started exercises also? That's a great place to start... then work your way thru Cassie's tutorials for scrapbooking.. If you're looking to improve your photography then Katrina is the way to go.

Totally agree! Which one of Cassie's tutorials really depends on what you want to learn first.

Here's the thing about both Cassie's tutorials and Debbie Hodge's ebooks: I always learn more than the title suggests I'll learn. I've been digiscrapping for two years, and I'm someone who dives in headfirst and tries to learn all I can, and I've never NOT learned something from a Cassie tutorial. And Debbie's ebooks--both Embellishing with Alphas eBook and Every Little Thing eBook, are filled with design tips that apply beyond the supposed topic of the book. You may not think you need to learn how to embellish with alphas, but the way the book is written, that seemingly narrow topic is just a basis for much broader design instruction.

Sorry not to help you narrow down the choices!

Have to agree with all the above. I suggest you look at any one of them, and whatever one inspires you to want it NOW is the one to start with. Eventually you will want them all (yep) and I tend to go back through them again and again, each time catching something different.
