Coffee With Amanda: PSE Workshop and Action Giveaway!!! - Closed!!!

A quick note: Amanda is writing video step-by-step tutorials on using some of my actions that you can view here. So far she has put together tutorials for Creamy Chocolate B&W and Simply Vintage. I am going to link Amanda's video page on all actions that have a video and will update you with new videos as they come! Thank you so much Amanda. 



Are you new to PSE and do not really know how to get started editing your pictures? Have you been using it a while, but struggle with learning how to make the most of it? Everyday Elements may be just what you need.

Everyday Elements are online workshops
just for Photoshop Elements. Amanda, the workshop leader, offers four levels of classes: Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced Intermediate and All About Actions. Registration for a workshop includes access to private video tutorials for your level, five free actions, access to her before and after the class and more.

Amanda is as passionate about editing and PSE as I am, and truly enjoys helping others to learn to love their program also. That is why the workshops are priced at $35, so that the "everyday" person can afford them and be able to really use their Photoshop Elements "everyday." 

Curious about them? Read what others have written about it at her testimonials page or on her Facebook fan page. 

I know so many of my readers are excited to start using PSE but don't know where to start, and Amanda's workshops are a perfect way to get you in that driver's seat.  I heart Amanda!

Okay, now, onto the giveaway...  GIVEAWAY CLOSED!  ANNOUNCING WINNERS SOON!!!

Meet Amanda! I am a "Pioneer Woman" of sorts, although not nearly as talented, witty or culinarily gifted as the real one. I grew up in the suburbs or on military bases, but ended up in country on a cattle and chicken farm an hour from any sizeable town. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to four children, ages 11 to 4.

My photography journey started last spring, and it has quickly become a passion. Most of my subjects are my kids, the cows, my mother-in-law's flowers and my weeds (they're prettier in a picture than in real life). I enjoy editing (with PSE 7) and continue to learn daily. The tutorials I write are very basic and well documented so that brand new users can learn how to use their editing software.

I recently started Everyday Elements, online workshops and video tutorials for PSE users. Also, I have a photography resource blog, PhotographyHaven where you can find lots of free actions, tutorials, workshops and more. You can view my personal pictures at Moving Forward or my Flickr stream.
