Hi Kelly! Welcome to DD! How wonderful to have a project in mind for your first digital pages. The project will motivate you to get started and complete it in time and meanwhile you will be learning all about your software!

Since you will be working under a time limit, I, too, strongly suggest purchasing Cassie's tutorial. It will definitely make it easier to get professional results right out of the starting gate!

I second Donna's advice about the Photoshop Elements tips section, too.

Keep us posted!
