Hi all! Thought I should introduce myself. My name is Sherri and I live in rural New South Wales in Australia. (Our village has all of 15 houses in it) I have a darling husband Paul and 3 kids - Ryan 16yo, Mitchell 14yo and Madilynn 2yo. I have been paper scrapping for nearly 2 years and have recently decided to give digi scrapping a go. I haven't actually started yet but I would love to have a play. I will have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to play with. Any thoughts on these??? It may be a while before I actually produce anything you understand, LOL but I would like to hang around and learn from you guys

Looking forward to getting to know you all, Sherri

Welcome - you'll love it over here - and believe me It is highly addictive. I was a traditional paper scrapper for a decade & then started digi - well the only time my paper stuff is used now is when I am preparing a class

All of my personal scrapping is being done digitally - have fun searching the forums & tutorials - you'll find answers to pretty much every question you have.

Welcome! I am sure either program would be fine for digiscrapping. I would say that psp will be easier to use at first, but that photoshop would be the better long-term decision. Either way, I am sure you will enjoy this new hobby!

Thanks girls for the welcome! I am sure I will learn a lot from you all. It seems there are a few girls form Down Under on here

I thought I would give PS a go as it seems to have broader applications but since I am not that technically minded will keep PSP as a backup

Can't wait to get started (but i guess I will have to as I am working the next 4 days). I'll let you know how I go!

Hi and welcome, I am Jenny and I live near Launceston in Tassie. We live on a farm . I have been doing digital stuff for a couple of months now. I use Picture It as i have it,because I have it but Im thinking of getting Photo shop elements maybe.
Im a bit of a night owl so I often catch the US girls at a scrap late at night.
Cheers Jen

Welcome!

Another Aussie here. I don't post much, but lurk a lot!!! I do have a few pics in the gallery though.
I live in Sydney, my name is Jenny and I've been married for 13 yrs and have 2 children, Emma - 6.5 yrs, and Matthew who is 9 mths.
I hope to be more active, but by the time the kids are in bed and I've done what needs to be done it's like 10pm!!! and by then I'm totally exhausted.

catch ya later!
