Default I have a confession to make...

Although my sig line says I use PSE 5.0, I didn't actually have it installed on my computer until today. I've had it since Christmas (thanks, Santa!), but for one reason or another (laziness?), I just never got around to installing it.

So what have I been using? PSE 2.0, if you can believe it. Without a mouse, no less! My laptop has a touchpad, and I've been using that. Can I just say how much easier designing layouts has been today since I got a mouse for my laptop? I am an idiot sometimes...

Today, after I installed PSE 5.0, I downloaded Jessica Sprague's tutorial on designing your first digital layout. I figured since I hadn't used 5.0 before, this would be a good way to start. And it was! You can bet I'll be downloading more of her tutorials when she has them here. *thumbs up*

BTW, I uploaded the layout -- my first one in 5.0 -- to my gallery. I'm very pleased with it!

Have a great week, everyone!

Isn't it great to make the plunge with a new program? Once you have done that first layout you will be away. A mouse will make things so much easier too.

PS I started with PSE2 as well way back when! Hope you have fun with PSE5.

Kelly, you must be amazed at how much easier it is with the mouse instead of the track pad! Good for you to finally get PSE 5.0 up and running. I'll go check out your LO.

Oh my goodness, Kelly. I can't stand the touchpad. You must be in hog heaven now. Great job on the layout!

Go for you, Kelly, for plunging in and using your new program! I've been resisting changing from PSE to PS for over a year! Isn't it funny how different we all are? I use the touchpad on my laptop all the time and I love it! I guess that's where that "Different strokes for different folks" saying came from!
