Newbie to Digital Scrapbooking...

Hello all, i am Netty... I am so new to all this digital scrapbooking. I have been a "paper scrapper" for about four years and love it. My dh purchased me the Adobe Photoshop Elements for Xmas and am still trying my best to get use to the program itself.. The layering is the part i am having such difficulty with right now.. All tell me that in time it will become second nature and wonder why i was having such a time with it..LOL..Hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel... I am just lurking and such right now..You all do fabulous work. I have downloaded from another site a few "freebies" to practice with... I hope you all don' t mind me sitting back in awe at what you all do...Netty

Welcome Netty! I had trouble with the layers to begin with too. They give you so much freedom though - once you get used to them. SBB is a great place to learn and be inspired!

Welcome to SBB Netty! You will love everything that we have here.

As for the layers, think of them as transparencies that have different items on them, and each one can be moved around easily before "sticking them down" permanently. I also was a die-hard paper scrapper, so I can understand what you are going through. Just shout if you have any problems, or have any questions at all.

Welcome to SBB and the world of digital scrapbooking. Really the digital layers is just like the layers of goodies you build up when you paper scrap. I tried paper scrapping but got frustrated because of imperfections. Digital lets me undo the imperfections- lets me change my mind and move things around when ever I want. They are never truly glued down. Work through some of the tutorials here. Even the earlier versions will work- the screen shots will be different and some items may be in a different menu but they are a great resource. Folks are real helpful here so post any questions.

Welcome to SBB! Check out the tutorials here in the Reference section--and just keep on practicing. The learning curve for PSE is steep at first, but gets sooo much easier the more you do! Keep on scrapping! Glad you're here!

Hiya Netty!! Welcome to SBB!! It does take time to learn a new program. For me I have to push myself to keep trying things. I say just play with it and maybe do some tutorials. It will all come in time.

Oh and I tell ya there are always things to learn. I'm still finding new things all the time.
