Hi Colleen and welcome to The Pad! So happy to see you here and love that you are getting excited about learning how to digiscrap! The girls have already pointed you in the right direction regarding tutorials etc so take a look and just start out slowly! We don't want to scare you off!!!! As Justine already said, just holler if you need a hand with anything, there is always someone online to give you a helping hand!
Welcome to the Lilypad Coreen! I'm so glad that you stumbled upon us and I hope you love it here. How exciting to be jumping into digital scrapbooking now! There is so much great information out there, but I bet it can be overwhelming at first. If you stumble across some specific thing you want to know how to do, just post a new thread here in the forum and I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help you.
JS first got me hooked on digi many years ago! Learning digi is definitely a learning curve, but the time you save in not having to clean up your scrap mess, you can put to use for learning PSE. After a little bit you really do get the hang of it quickly! Welcome to The Pad - so glad you stumbled upon our site! You will love it!
Coreen, I hope you settle in and enjoy being here as this is a great place. Do not hesitate to ask for any help you may need.
I totally started with JS too in 2013 @Coreen ! And I love the Lilypad. There's so many friendly people willing to help and ooh and ahh over your creations! I switched from paper and I love it! It took some getting used to at first.
Hi @Coreen and welcome to TLP! I don't think any of us are caught up or have a hope of being caught up . . . but we sure enjoy trying! Christa @cfile shared a link to my videos with you already as well as info about my live scrapping sessions. I should note, though, that most of my videos in the past year have been using PSCC. You'll find it's similar in nature to PSE 2018 though. Definitely my earlier videos show me using PSE and that was version 11. Please don't hesitate to ask questions and just jump right in. That's how most of us learned! If you need to grab someone's attention, you can just type "@" and then start typing the person's user name. It will show up in a fly-out menu and you just click on it. When you post your reply, the person will get a notification that you tagged them. Note: the tagging doesn't work if you post your reply and then go in to edit it to add the tag after the fact. Just make a new post and tag the person and say, hey, look above. LOL Again, welcome, and have a blast!
You are all so great! Been a bit absent since right after I joined TLP because my Mom was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. Been busy getting to initial appointments with her, etc. Hoping to get back at things this weekend. So far I've really only been working on organizing digital photos. What a task! I'm looking forward to learning more and will definitely be asking for help when I need it.
Sorry for your troubles.. Doubly welcome here though , it is a really good place just to " switch of " for an hour or two.. And digi scrapping rocks, no mess for a start, and you can begin with really simple Layouts, just a back ground and a photo, Maybe some text..
Hello and welcome to the Pad! I'm also a scrapbooker and still doing it besides digital scrapbooking You will love it here, so many inspiration and you will learn lots of great stuff too!
