Best course ever

Maria reyes Boluda utrillas

I have been using the geli plate for a while but i wasn't able to use my pictures successfully until now. I followed Jane steps and... voila. I cannot recommend this course enough. The layout, the pdf, the module, everything has been thought carefully. The more I watch the lessons, the more time I spend practicing all her techniques. They are so useful not only for a travel journal but for journalling as well. It is worth it! I wish there was a more in depth module on typography and even another one on style guides. Another important thing is that English is not my first language and yet Jane doesn't have a strong accent and she doesn't speak fast so she cant be easily understood. The best of the best!
