Digital Scrapbooking

If you understand how to use PaintShop Pro, and you love digital scrapbooking, then you are almost certain to know the name Carole Asselin. She’s the queen of digital scrapbooking when it comes to PaintShop Pro. Carole is our guest on The Next 100 Days Podcast.

Carole and Kevin have known each other longer than Graham and Kevin. They met, like we did, in the Facebook group associated with Internet Business Mastery. Kevin sometimes moves at a slow pace, so go figure why it took him this long to ask Carole to be a guest!
