Hello everyone. My name is Jenny, I'm a SAHM to 2 children. 1 dd who will be 6 in 2 weeks and in 1st grade, and also I have 1 ds who is 14 weeks old tomorrow!
I live in Sydney Australia.
I'm totally new to digital scrapping and not even sure how to do it at all. :confused:
If I ask dumb questions... please bear with me!
I hope to get to know you all soon and hopefully share some of my work soon.
I've done 1 or 2 pages (I think) so I'll have to find out where I can show them off.
Thank you.
Jenny

FIRST OF ALL - WELCOME (arms out giving hug)! Secondly, you're not alone at being a newbie...we've all been there & I'm no pro - I'm still new! Thirdly, there are no STUPID questions...questions are welcomed around here. And last but not least...you can share your layouts by uploading them to your gallery...after you've logged in...go to gallerys and click on MY GALLERY...it will give you an option to UPLOAD. Don't hesitate to ask questions, how else will you learn?

Thank you Lori for your reply.
I'm looking forward to learning a lot here and asking questions! LOL!
I had a look at the Gallery and thought of uploading one of my pics, but I think the pic was too big! I'll have to re-size it first, after I figure that out then I'll show some stuff off.
I played around last night with some things, and they look pretty good to me.
Thanks again, and I'm glad to be here.

Hello Margie
Thank you for the kind welcome. I had a look around the site and it's wonderful. I also had a look at "Digital Scrapping 101" and yes it did answer some questions, but also brought up a few more! LOL!
Thanks again,
Jenny

Amber,
I use Photoshop Elements 2.0. I've been playing around and learning as I go. There was no manual with my disc. DH got the disc thru work, I could ask him, he's a whizz with Photoshop. He works in the newspaper & photography industry so he knows a lot, but I like to play around and learn as I go also.
I've ordered the Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements DVD and am anxiously awaiting its arrival so I can learn more. From what free tutorials I've seen it looks wonderful.
Just need to find the time to do things, between housework, a new baby and a 1st grader, there's not a lot of time left over for me! LOL!
Thanks again for the welcome.
Jenny

Hi Jenny
Im Lauren and I am from just across the ditch in New Zealand so we will be online at much the same times - I am a designer here at DSP and I can tell you, you have found the most friendly helpful digital scrapping site in the universe right here - no question is too dumb so ask away becuase you may just be asking a question that someone else has been dying to ask. -

Hi there Lauren,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I've just done my first "real" page. I'm going to try and upload it now so everyone can have a look! I'm pretty proud of it, if I say so myself!
Thanks again.
Jenny
