Hi again

[momof2cuties]

Well, I see that I did actually post an intro post when I first joined....over a year ago :eek: I'm sorry that I've not been around, but life has finally settled down and I think I'm ready to start again :clap:

Anyway...I'm Christina, married to John and we have 2 kids: Samantha (who will be 3 in a few days :shocked: ) and Caiden who is 16 months.

I'm not sure where to start here...I just recently purchased PSP XI and I'm learning a little, but I'd like to learn how to make things...buttons, ribbons, etc. If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd love it! I see there are classes, so I guess I need to figure out how to get into those ;)

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome Back!! It is very understandable how life gets busy! If you are wanting to learn to make stuff I'd definitely reccomend the DSU classes - they are fantastic. That is where I started out with designing. Also the links Irene gave you for tutorials are wonderful as well. Look forward to seeing you around and your work!!
