It’s no secret that I love online scrapbooking classes.  I’ve reviewed a few of them on this site.  Over on the Daily Digi, Katie has listed and reviewed several of the best places to find online scrapbooking classes.  It’s a comprehensive list that includes her reviews of classes she’s taken, the basic information like the URL and instructors, an overview of the site, current or upcoming classes, and classes she has taken or would recommend.  Also check the comments section of this post for more reviews from readers.

Here’s a brief review of some of my favorite online scrapbooking classes.

Jessica Sprague – I’ve already reviewed her learn digital photo editing course and the beginning digital scrapbooking class, but I’ve taken many classes at Jessica’s site.  I have to say that her classes are the best to learn digital scrapbooking.  Her classes have become more expensive, but she also offers free ones as well.  These free classes are shorter than the others, but no less informative.  I recently took her Pen Tablet Basic for Scrapbookers course. I highly recommend that if you own a pen tablet.  If you’d like to broaden your journaling skills, Type + Writer 1&2 are excellent classes.

Big Picture Scrapbooking – I’ve only taken one class at this site. It was the 12-week Design Your Life course with Cathy Zielske.  It’s an awesome class, and Cathy is fantastic!  Unfortunately, this class is no longer offered.  If you ever have an opportunity to take a class by Cathy, don’t even hesitate.  She’s an amazing teacher.

Renee Pearson – I’ve taken 3 classes at this site.  Album Magic by Anna Aspnes is currently available for registration.  I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more about planning and creating albums.  She provides a ton of information.  I’ve taken 2 classes by Tiffany Tillman, The Photoshop Brushshop and 25 Days of Templates.  Tiffany is also an excellent teacher.  My favorite part of her classes were her template training videos.  I learned so much about how to get the most from digital scrapbooking templates.

Creative Techs – I’ve only listened to some the live webcasts of the Photography classes and the Photoshop classes.  Both instructors were very good.  These don’t have the same interactions that the sites above have.  However, one feature I do like is that if you purchase the classes you can watch them on your Ipod.

Shemille – I’ve taken 2 classes with Shimelle, Blogging for Scrapbookers and Learn Something New.  I love how affordable her classes are.  She doesn’t teach in video as the other sites do, but her pdf handouts are very easy to follow, and there’s lots of interaction in the forum.

Be sure to check out the list of free courses that each site offers.  You’ll find these listed on the Daily Digi post.

You definitely don’t want to miss the giveaway!  There’s a list of courses that The Daily Digi will be giving away in a random drawing.  You just need to leave a comment on the post telling them something you would like to learn about scrapbooking.
