Hi Angel,
Welcome to SBB, we hope you stay a long time! Sometimes this site can seem pretty daunting since it is so large and has so many things to do and see. Please don't let that discourage you there are lots of us here who want to help and be of encouragement. We will try our best to answer whatever questions you may have.

Digital scrapbooking starts out just with the passion of giving it a try, after that it's all downhill and you usually end up addicted LOL

(laughing out loud).

First of all, you came to the right site. Second of all, you will need to have a digital program on your computer that will be the foundation of creating all your scrapbook layouts. What type of programs do you have? Knowing what program you have will help us steer you in the right direction for tutorials on making your first layout.

Go to the HOME page and look for the link to download some freebies to get you started.

Ok... let us know what program you are using... if you don't have a program then you could download a trial verison of Paint Shop Pro.

I'm just like Angel (Hi Angel) I'm totally clueless, but want to learn.

The programs I have are Adobe PhotoShop 5.5 and I just installed PrintShop Deluxe. I hope these are programs I can use.

hello nice to meet you. if you like to download this kit and pick out a couple photographs that are in your computer, I will help you to make a basic layout. Let me know when you get it downloaded.

Is there a way to download the whole group at the same time?

Yazolino Girl · #6 (**permalink**) 04-10-2005

Yes, you would need a "download manager"... the easiest way if you use FireFox browswer is to use "Download'em ALL" plug-in. If you use Explorer then you can get "download manager" for free at CNET. It is not too hard to use if you're up to the learning curve of downloading it and installing it. Then you would right click over the links and your choice to use your download manager would be right there.

Otherwise...click on them right after each other and they should all start downloading... if you have "dial-up" I suggest only 2 or 3 at a time anyway.

Thanks Yazo for your help. I will do this tomorrow. I've been playing around with layering and adding photos. I think I may be getting the hang of some of this. Have to go back to being a Mom for now.

I played around and made a real simple page. Not sure how to post it though.
