Did you know? You don’t have to give up your paper to dive into the world of digital scrapbooking! Cool, but simple, Photoshop techniques like mixing digital papers (shown on this paper layout), are perfect for paper scrappers who want to try something new.

I consider myself pretty computer savvy, and I’m pretty familiar with Photoshop Elements. But until I read this Paper + Pixels lesson, I never thought to mix two digital papers to create a whole new, custom pattern. What I love about digital papers is their versatility: Use them as backgrounds on digital pages or print them out to use on paper pages. And with the know-how for mixing papers, you can maximize their potential even more.

The book includes 40 simple lessons that give you the how-to for using digital techniques that are as fun as using scissors and glue.
