first post - how i got started

Today I have started a new blog to display my digi scrapping layouts.

I have heard about digi-scrapping a year ago but wasn't ready to make the jump. I loved creating with my hands for the relaxing effect. I still do but there is so much more going on now that there isn't time to pull out the supplies and finish up with the ink or glue before the kids come around my stuff.

I started playing around with some Shabby Princess kits that I had downloaded for free and made my first LO. It wasn't too bad for not knowing the program I was using - PS7. The best part was that it was FUN. All the options - make it big, make it smaller, change the color, use it again... LOVED it.

I also really liked making my own computer backgrounds and who wouldn't want to showcase their kids, pets or other favorite thing in a way that works best for them.

As things moved along, I became addicted to downloading freebies. There are some awesome designers out there. It is just amazing how artistic some ladies (and a few men) can be when it comes to this. I think it would be fun to learn to design. I know a little - very very little - and I am sure it is very time consuming. So again - thank you to everyone who gives freebies so newbies like me can get started in this wonderful digi-scrapping world.
