Hi there!
Do you ever feel like you’re just missing the point? Like, you can get the job done, but you find yourself saying, “Okay, but why was I supposed to do it that way?”
If you’re like me, you need to know why in order to fully appreciate a task and learn from it, whether that’s in life or in Photoshop.
Texas Sheet Cake Chemistry
For example, when making Texas Sheet Cake, you need to mix the baking soda with the buttermilk before adding it to the mixing bowl. If you don’t know why, you’re more likely to skip this seemingly ridiculous step. But when you learn why, you start to understand that baking is all about chemistry. And suddenly, things start to make sense to you, and you’re well on your way to becoming a better baker. The why is important!
The Chemistry of Becoming a Better Scrapbooker
In Jenifer Juris’ new class series, Behind the Design, you will become a better scrapbooker. Jenifer formed her class around the concept of why. Her goal was to help it make sense to you, not just show you steps. Check it out below.
Love and creative success,
Jen White, Owner of Digital Scrapper
