Digital Scrapbooking

I have recently come across the idea of digital scrapbooking (Thanks Angela!). I thought it might be fun and so I gave it a whirl. Now, keep in mind I have never used photoshop before and it is WAY too fancy for my computer skills. So, I read a little online and after trial and error I came up with a little something. It is extremely time consuming, at least for right now. I had to do a lot of googling to find cute things to download for free because I am too cheap to buy anything. And then I had to figure out how to layer things, crop, change size, etc. I have decided that as I get better with photoshop I will start to make cuter pages. So, I am going to make one page for each month of Christian's life for his first year and then we'll see what happens after that. I think I might have found a useful (kinda) hobby. What a great way to do geneology! Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to post some of my progress in the future and if any of you are photoshop savvy..send some tips my way. I can use all the help I can get.
