Default Hello from Jacksonville, FL

Hi everyone! I am totally new to digital scrapbooking. I am a photographer and I love the idea of creating my own products. I have no idea what I am doing, but so far the tutorials have been so helpful and products are fabulous!
I hope to learn a lot here and getting to know everyone.

Lauren

Hi Lauren - welcome to DD - I'm not sure what you would like to do - but if you are interested in making pages much like we do in the gallery here, then can I suggest Cassie's brilliant tutorial for starters:

Getting Started: Your First Layout - Digital Scrapbooking Tutorials

She takes you through the process, step by step and you also get all the product you need to complete that layout!

As you are a photographer, I imagine you're familiar with photo editing programs like Photoshop - if so, you will pick it up in no time at all!

Have fun - that's the only real requirement!!

Once again, welcome to DD!

Welcome to DD Lauren!

There are several threads in the General Digi Talk that talk about "must have" products - here is one thread: http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...pend-some.html

Good luck choosing! Looking forward to seeing your pages in the gallery!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes ladies! Sorry it took me so long to get back, but my daughter started PreK last week and we've been trying to get into the routine! That and I was told by my eye doctor that I need to lay off the computer for a bit, b/c my eye was spasming from being infront of the screen too much...I order computer glasses, to wear with my contacts so I should be good to go!

Thanks for all the links and tutorials too!
