Advice on Scrapbooking, Design & Photography Welcome to the podcast brought to you by PictoPix. This is our opportunity to share our ideas, techniques, and concepts regarding scrapbooking, design, and photography. It is our desire to document these ideas so that anyone can use this site as a resource for information gathering, brainstorming, or looking for ideas to help make their projects the best they can be. This site also gives you a direct line to designers and image professionals with several years experience, to ask questions and get advice. The focus of this podcast will be mostly on scrapbook and photography design concepts, but we will also cover both digital and mechanical techniques for scrapbooking and photography. Since this is new idea it will most likely evolve as time goes on, but I'm confident that it will be useful and relevant for creative people. I hope you enjoy this cast as much as I enjoyed making it. – Michael McCatty The shows:
