I'm coming along learning the world of being a CT. What a wonderful world the digital scrapbooking community is!

well I have been working hard on my CT membership at StellarificDesigns. I have signed up at five other sites and what an experience.I received so many friendly welcomes and wonderful comments on my layouts I posted! The digital scrapbooking community is really a very special group of people.

I'm a CT for CottageStella


Stella asked me to join her creative team for her StellarificDesigns creations.How could I refuse? I love her work. What an opportunity to grow and expand my horizons!This is a first time experience for me. I will learn as I go.
My first task I need to do is sign up for more scrapbooking sites to post my layouts made with Stella's kits. I want to get her CT blinkie in my signatures too.
Here is my first layout using her kit HeartAngel

I joined Scrappersguide premier subscription and absolutely love it.I have received my first newsletter and have already learned so much. I am going to appreciate having photoshop elements6 for just this very reason. I loved my PaintShop Prox1 but it was so hard finding tutorials for this version to learn to scrapbook the newest and lastest techniques others are doing. I haven't even downloaded PSP on my new computer yet. I am sure I will since it does things Elements doesn't like mask work.But for now I want to get a handle on Elements6.It is like starting from the beginning since the programs are very different how they do things.

My New Dell Computer

It came Dec. 6th-St. Nicholas Day.It is a whooper of a computer.
XPS with quad core processor,500HD,3 ram, and 8800Gt video card.
22 inch monitor
Also came with Photoshop package of three programs-elements ,video and sound programs.
Roxio burner software ,antivirus etc

PhotoShopElements6

Learning Vista and photoshop elements at the same time was/is challenging.I thought I would be able to transfer more of my knowledge of PSP to Elements.The programs may do alot of the same things ---but in very different ways. Lots of trial and error. I am abit overwhelmed where to start in elements.There are so my subscriptions to purchase to learn it.The Ivillage photoshop elements site/forum has lots of free tuts but they are random not like the PSP user site that has self learning tuts in progressive technique-basics,beginners etc.Seems like if you want to learn Elements with out all the headache and time of trial and error you need to buy subscriptions -even for basics online classes like how to use your browser and layers at $20 a pop.The Photoshop elements techniques newsletter subscription seems to be highly recommended and also a premier subscription to ScrapperGuide. My concern is time committment. I don't want to get overwhelmed with all the tutorials to learn and apply .Knowing me if I pay for something then I will want to do every darn challenge and tut. I fell like I need both subscriptions.Maybe I should just start with one . I still participate at SASY and do all their challengess.
