    Hi Peggy! Welcome and hello from a fellow Iowan :)
    Glad we were able to get your cart all straightened out. I remember starting out and feeling intimidated to post in the gallery too. Just remember we all started out like that! I have not looked at your gallery so this is not a personalized critique whatsoever, but if you are feeling room to grow, I recommend checking out some of the great tutorials on our blog and designer's websites!! Many have tutorial sections with a wealth of information!
    See this list here for links to all.

    Some basics to look at first:)
    If you are just starting out it makes loads of sense to get organized from the get-go and save yourself lots of time later!

    The thing that I think that made the biggest difference in my layouts was learning shadowing. These are my favorite tutorials on shadows that I've seen.

    This gives you a spattering of what is out there... I have been digiscrapping since 2006 and am still learning new tricks!
