Welcome Sandra!!

You can do this and you will do this!! hehehe It's sounds like you have a great reason to scrap since you have a little girl who would love for you to scrap her life for her!
Digital scrapping is world wide and you can find anything you need for it right on the internet. It is cheaper then paper scrapping and it is so versatile to fit your needs.
First you need to have a program in which you can use to fix photo's, crop, rotate. One that will handle layers.
Programs are like these, Paint Shop Pro almost any version to start with, newest is PSPX, but PSP9 is fantastic.
Adobe Photo Shop, is great also and has a lot of different versions and levels of it.
Here is a link to all the different programs, chances are you already have one of these somewhere!!
