FAQs

I've already printed my holiday cards. Will this class be useful?

The lessons can be used in many ways with a variety of postcard designs. I've included everyday postcards as well, so you can keep making and sharing postcards long after the holidays are over. I believe there are so many ways to share your postcards. Pop 'em in your neighbours mailbox, share a set of 6 with a friend, deliver some to a local care home with an encouraging verse, scripture or note.

I've never used Lightroom before do you think I can follow this class?

I would recommend a basic understanding of the Lightroom Classic interface in order to follow the lessons inside this class.

I don't have a printer. How can I print my postcards

There are many printing service options. In the class I'll share some ideas for printing from home or sending your cards out to print.
