Male also
Ed, I'm male also. Married and have a daughter.
I've been into digital photography for about two years now and have gobbs of pictures on my coputer.
The reason I started digital scrapping was my sister, who is a Creative Memories representative. She keeps trying to get my wife into doing scrapping the paper way.
I looked at a lot of her layouts, which are really nice, and I jokingly said that
I could do the same thing with my computer using PSP.
She said prove it. I did some really dorky layouts at first which were just a bunch of pictures cut out and all pasted on one page.
Then I stumbled on this site and looked at all the great layouts. I did a lot of tutorials and downloaded a lot of elements.
The next time my sister came to town, I showed her my layouts and they blew her away.
Some of the ones I did of our family actually got her teared up.
She still paper scraps because she has so much invested in it, and she does not have a good computer.
She had me make copies of the layouts I've done and now she takes them and shows people when she does a Creative Memories demonstration. I told her she could be hurting her own business by showing digital scrapping layouts, but she says it's just to neat to not show people.
