Lesa’s 10 years at CreativeLive

CreativeLive is celebrating their 9th birthday, so I thought I’d share a few early photos.

I presented my first video trainings in 2009 for CreativeTechs, before their video training arm became CreativeLive.

Since then, CreativeLive has produced more than 40 of my training titles. My husband Jay and I were also proud to be co-creators of Photoshop Week and Creative Cloud Week.

I hope you enjoy these snapshots from the time machine!

Do you have a laminator?

Go ahead and admit it — you want one! We’ve been using this $29 Hot and Cold Laminator by Purple Cows for over a year now, and love it. Amazingly, it even includes 100 high-quality clear pouches for laminating items of various sizes. It’s a perfect addition to your arsenal for making holiday photo gifts! (To discover how to buy or make my favorite photo gifts, see my book below — the technique for making napkin rings also works for laminated bookmarks!)
