I am a wife,
mother of 2 little girls, Registered Nurse and a devoted (sometimes
OBSESSED) Digital Scrapbooker. I reside in Coquitlam, BC, Canada. My love for digital scrapbooking came from
the increased frustration with trying to find the time to do traditional
paper scrapbooking. The digital industry started to boom and I found
many great sites online to help me in my journey. My positions have
included design team member at
www.scrapbook-bytes.com, co/owner and designer at now closed
www.pixel-expressions.com and
digital designer/instructor at www.3scrapateers.com
I have taught beginner and advanced courses
locally and continue to teach from home and online. I
have also been published in paper and online.

“I took Sandy Drieschner’s class at Scrapbookbytes called
“Realism in Paintshop Pro – Advanced. I found the course to be very useful
and I learned a great deal. The lessons were well prepared and easy to
follow. In addition, Sandy was always ready, willing and able to answer any
questions that came forth from myself or other students. Not only did I
learn a lot, I had a lot of fun learning. I would highly recommend taking
one of her classes.” Donna Wheway
For any of you who are thinking of taking Irene and Sandy's class - do it.
They are fantastic. I did very minimal scrapbooking before I took their
class and have fallen in love with the whole idea of digital scrapbooking.
They have great passion as well as tremendous knowledge and present the
material it in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for getting me hooked!!

is patient to answer all questions and I was very pleased with my finished product.
A very enjoyable afternoon. Elsie Frank, Langley, BC. - August 14,09 A very enjoyable afternoon. Elsie Frank, Langley, BC. - August 14,09
Sandy is a great teacher. I was looking to improve my PhotoShop skills and had taken a course earlier in the year through our local Continuing Ed.
I really did not gain any practical knowledge. When I found out that Sandy taught - I was very excited. I loved the fact that I could book her for a "one-on-one" session.
She was very organized, had great tips and tricks, and because I requested in advance, she tailored some of her teaching to meet my specific business needs.
I was able to take my session with her and immediately apply it at home. I have and would continue to recommend her to any of my friends. Auugust 2009. Cheryl Kathler, Photographer
The Digi Scrapbooking course was exciting as Sandy explained each aspect carefully, and took time to be sure we all understood each concept before continuing to the next idea.
The lesson was presented in an easy to understand format, with lots of good tips, an encouragement to be creative and explore with the Photoshop tools.
The class moved at a good pace that allowed for completion of a project in a short time.The fun part was printing out a finished layout that looked professional.
Thanks for opening up an exciting word of scrapbooking, Sandy! - Judy Wyatt.
I found Sandy's Beginner Class to be a very informative and relaxing way to learn Digital Scrapbooking. Sandy is well-informed with the computer programs and she was able to give valuable advice regarding short cuts and printing completed layouts.
I would gladly take a more advanced class from her. Shona - Maple Ridge, BC
Sandy is very patient and knowledgeable when teaching digital scrapbooking to people with different ranges of computer knowledge. She is also very accomodating with scheduling classes and is very organized. She has lots of samples to look at and it her class was very enjoyable.
