    Wow, Jan, This is an awesome resource. So much easier than scrolling through all the tutorial posts. Thank you!

  2. Jen Petersen says

    Love the Index! So many great tutorials! Thank you!

  3. Wow !!! and thank you 🙂 Love the index and an annual one would be awesome 🙂

  4. Just me again ….was wondering where this list will reside so that we can easily find it ??? and then if you put it somewhere that you can update it weekly as you go you would have a lot less work to do at the end of the year.

  5. While I figure out where I can create a home for this index, you can always bookmark it so you can come back whenever you like. Updating each week is a great idea… don’t know why I didn’t think of that! Thanks for the tip!!

  6. This list and links is just wonderful.  So many tutorials and so little time…..until after the holidays.  Thanks so much to you and Ellen.

  7. This is an awesome list and I appreciate it. Thank you!

  8. What a cool idea! Thanks a lot for the list

  9. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You’re amazing!!!

  10. Very helpful idea! Merry Christmas!

  11. Hey Jan, Have I told you lately how AMAZING you are?!?! 
    Thank you so so much for all these tutorials and this killer list too! 
    You are the best! 🙂

  12. Aw… you’re making me blush!! You’re such a supportive boss, so it’s a pleasure!

  13. Fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for this list of your amazing tutorials!!

  14. 113 tuts! Wow. No wonder it takes so long to find the one I am looking for! LOL The only thing that could make it better is what the tut is about. Some are easy to figure out by title (more fun with alphabets but some like totally tacky get me wondering what the subject was.)I can remember you have dome a tut on , say, organizing your fonts, but I cant always remember what you titled it because your titles are always so creative!!! Seeing them all listed in one place is great though!!! Anyway, I am glad you ( and others) like the idea and thanks so much for doing all that for us.

  15. Great idea. Thanks for your hard work.

  16. Ellen, I did think about adding a description for the ones with the really bizarre titles, but WordPress wasn’t playing nice and once I’d added a link it wouldn’t let me change the format, which would then mess up the link… I’ll see if I can figure out a way to add a descriptor and if I can, you’ll be the first to know!

  17. This is amazing! I’ll bookmark it so I can treat myself to learning more and more! Thank you for all your work you do in preparing these for us.

  18. I haven’t stopped by in a bit as life has gotten really busy. Thank you so much, Jan, for all the time you spend in putting together all these tutorials. & special thanks for creating this list. I had been bookmarking all your tutorials, but it’s nice to have the list for the times when I am not at my own laptop. It is also nice that these tutorials are specifically for PSE. So many tutorials I find are for PS & I get frustrated when they use tools that are not on PSE. You are amazing; & so are your layouts!
    I pray your holiday was wonderful & full of the joys of Christmas. & may the New Year bring you many blessings!!

  19. Thank you so much for your support, Pam. I think there are a lot more digi-scrappers using PSE than there are using PS in any of its incarnations, if only for economic reasons. I can relate to your frustration with tutorials that look like they’re more or less for both, but then take that abrupt detour into tools not included with PSE. Sometimes, if I’m determined enough I can find a workaround but not always. Happy New Year!

  20. this is so appreciated. thank you so much!

  21. Your style is unique in comparison to other people
    I’ve read stuff from. Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just book mark this page.

  22. Are you referring to my scrapping style, or my writing style?

    Please do bookmark the page with the list on it. I’m updating as I go along.

  23. Stephanie Barry says

    Jan,
    Thank you for creating this fabulous list and all the tutorials that you have done! I have found a link that does not seem to work. #118 Fancy and fun fonts.
    Steph

  24. That’s odd, Stephanie. The link worked for me just now on my phone. I’m not home this weekend so I can’t check it with my laptop; it did work with my phone.
