Hi, I've managed to find my way over here from a link someone posted over at Scrapjazz. Wow, I've had fun browsing here today! I actually scrap the 'old fashioned' way (you know, with paper and stuff ! ) but I would love to get into computer scrapbooking as well. I use Photoshop 6, hopefully one day I will upgrade to version 7. I attempted my very first computer generated layout the other day. I had NO IDEA what I was doing, but eventually managed to put something together. If I upload it, will you promise not to laugh?!?!?!

We won't laugh. We would enjoy seeing your first LO. The first one is the hardest. It really gets easier. Welcome to scrapbook-bytes.
Glad you found us.

ok, I lied....but only when the layout is supposed to be funny

Welcome welcome. Glad you made it over here. It is a great place to be to learn all about CG scrapping. I wouldn't be too worried about being in a hurry to upgrade to 7.0 either. Your 6.0 will keep you plenty busy enough, I promise.

Looking forward to your stuff.

meg,
welcome to sbb!!! i'm so glad that you've decided to give cg scrapping a try!! it is so fun and so addictive!! many of us here still paper scrap (so we're not paper scrapping bashers!!).
i cant wait to get a look at y our layout!! be warned, once you start, it's hard to stop....and you thought paper scrapping was addictive

Welcome! Of course we wouldn't laugh at your first LO. We all started somewhere. And trust me....some of my early stuff I pulled off the gallery it was so....special.

I'm glad you found us. I'm a Photoshop 7 user myself so we'll have to share tips.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! And Valerie I'm glad you mentioned that bit about not being paper scrapping bashers - I was hoping that the 2 were not mutually exclusive. I think there is a place for both in my heart!

How bizarre is this - last night I had a dream that I added some eyelets to my first digital layout - guess what I'm going to try and do now?!?!
