The Artisan Notebook

Published by the Digital Scrapbook Artisan Guild

The Artisan Notebook is a monthly publication published by the Digital Scrapbook Artisan Guild. This digital publication is available to readers as a download .pdf file. The magazine is geared towards those who have an interest in the craft of digital scrapbooking. The magazine includes several regular features and contributors as well as specialty and featured articles. There are often program tutorials for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro users. These tutorials are specifically related to using photo editing programs in the craft of digital scrapping.

Each month the editors of the Artisan Notebook take an in-depth look at a specific topic or idea in regards to helping readers grow in their artistic expression utilizing this craft. The intent of the magazine is to provide both instruction and inspiration as we draw on the most talented and generous members of the greater digital scrapbook community. We are pleased to feature a spotlight designer each month and often will feature various scrapbooking sites so that readers can stay up to date with the newest and most innovative products and techniques being offered in the digital scrapbook craft.

The magazine is published between the first and fifth of each month and has just recently celebrated its third year anniversary. The magazine is one of the benefits of Guild Membership.
