Thank you for your interest in ScrapHD + Ellen Hutson, LLC. If I was a little more computer savvy this would be a landing page in our webstore, but until I can figure out how to do the coding this will have to suffice. Following are some answers to the most basic questions you might have:
Ellen Hutson, LLC + ScrapHD Link

If I have questions regarding the program who do I contact?
To obtain complete and thorough answers it is best to login to ScrapHD's Help Desk.

Katy, Ross and Ryan have been incredibly helpful and offer top-notch customer service! We here at Ellen Hutson, LLC will also do our best to help you, but do not have the "behind-the-scenes" understanding of how the program is put together. Please do not hesitate to ask us though and we will do our best to put you in contact with the appropriate individual - [email protected].

What is the cost of ScrapHD?
ScrapHD offers a Free Membership with limited capabilities and a Club Membership for those that want unlimited access to designs and additional features.

How can I tell what is Free vs. Club content?
White frame around thumbnail previews = Free
A grey frame around thumbnail previews = Club Members only
(Club members will have access to everything, so themed pages and all artwork will have a white frame in the preview section.)
