Hello from England :)

Hello everyone ^_^

I'm Juliette - I'm in the UK. I've been married for four years to my awesome husband, Nick, and living in a small town called Eastleigh with our rebellious cat, Shylo.

I've never done any 'real' scrapbooking but I do love glue+glitter+crafting. I started digital scrapbooking sometime around October and now I just can't get enough, and I can't seem to tear myself away from Photoshop!

Lovely to meet you all, and to be inspired by you all!

 

^_^ Thanks for the lovely welcome, I'm very happy to be here!

 

Thanks Rachel! He's called Shylo for two reasons - we'd just watched 'Repo: The Genetic Opera' before we got him and the main character is called Shylo... and, Shiloh means 'his gift'. I was recovering from a bad time in my life when my hubby relented and said we could find a cat at the rescue centre, so Shy has always felt like a little gift to me

 

Thank you so much Dalis... I'm afraid it's true - I looked back through a load of my layouts last night and the first was 6th October! Until mid-November I was using CS3 and Picassa (to organise my stash), but I got a great deal signing up with PS CC on their monthly payment plan so I'm now using that and Lightroom 5. No design background here, as much as I wish there was, and by day I'm a project assistant at an international engineering consultancy firm!


I feel like I still need to learn a lot about shadowing... at the moment I'm not using saved styles for shadows because I've not quite got myself in a groove of what I like best for which type of elements and stuff, but I think I've made some steps on that in the last two weeks. I'm hoping to sort myself out a set of home-built 'base' shadow styles that I can then tweak for the individual layout, good job Christmas is coming because I can immerse myself in it as my away-from-the-office project over the holidays.


Thanks for such a sweet message, it really does mean a lot being so new to this 'game' ^_^
