Do I take the plunge?

I am thinking about it, but it is kind of scary. Actually, it looks like it might be very complicated and too much trouble working out the techno kinks.

I have decided though. I am going to do it!

I am going to try digital scrapbooking. Right now, I just cannot seem to put 30 minutes together to do it the old fashioned way.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not giving up on the “tried and true” method. I am just broadening my horizons.

As a mom, this is something that I have developed within my character – flexibility.
If you cannot do it one way, there definitely has to be another.

So, I am taking the plunge. If any of you out there have a great site or great advice for a beginner, please let me know.

I will be using [tag]Adobe PhotoShop Elements 3.0[/tag]. I have begun to browse through it and I am not sure if I am up for the challenge. But that is what good challenges are for, right, they are to be conquered.

I did find one site tonight that had some really cute [tag]freebies[/tag] and tutorials on it. They looked helpful. I hope they are. I have it listed below with a couple of pics of the freebies. Check it out and let me know if it is good or is there a better one.

Again, I cry out for help in the [tag]digital scrapbooking[/tag] world. HELP!!!

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.

Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.
