(This was one of my very first ever digital scrapbooking pages. Back in the day before photoshop!!!)
You don't need to be a digital genius to figure out digital scrapbooking. I wish I would have know that ions ago! I tried the trial versions of photoshop and didn't have the fainted idea where to start. Finally, I've gotten through the figuring it out & i'd like to share what i've learned. One person needs to figure it out, teach, and then be there for the newbies. That way only the first person has to figure it all out.. be the guinea pig of sorts. That was me! And if you are interested in learning how to digiscrap, i'd love to help walk you through it!
Personally, I use photoshop CS3. You can definately use photoshop elements (that's what I used before CS3). I use different fonts to create the lettering. My favorite scrapbook teacher has a website www.jessicasprague.com. I've taken a few of her classes.
There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's a ton of fun. I've found it's much cheaper than regular scrapbooking... I pay $3.00 at costco for (1) 12x12 and (2) 6x6's together!
If I were going to start Digital Scrapbooking, I would:
*get a trial version of photoshop elements through www.adobe.com
*download some free scrapbook papers/elements.
One of my favorite places to get free scrapbook stuff is:
www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads.asp
*find some pictures you'd like to scrap (easiest with digital pix)
*ask Zindra for help :!
