Trying Digital

I was inspired by a few girls at LM to try digital. I know I said I would never do such a thing, but I have found that a lot of the stuff out there now looks so real and not as fake as some of the other stuff has. There have been some great layouts posted at LM that are digital so I decided to give it a try. I was a little intimidated because I have PS and everyone talks about how difficult it is to learn and to use, but I'm finding that not to be the case. I've used it a little here and there over the years to alter photos, but not much else. I get a lot of help from site like e-scrappers and they really make it user friends. So, anyway, I decided to just jump in there and give it a try. Above is my very first attempt. Not great, but I wanted to try something really easy to start with. The page was already done so all I did was alter my photo and put it in with the subtitle and the top.

For my second layout, I used a kit from shabby princess. She has some great stuff and lots of cool free kits!


I'm really having fun with this and learning lots of new things about PS. I don't think I would ever want to go totally digital, I love the textures in paper scrapping too much, but this would be great for the occassional pictures or a theme album. Next month we're starting doing a photo a day over at LM and I think this would be a great idea for those pictures. And it's so cheap too! I've found a ton of free kits and stuff online the past few days; it's really amazing what all is out there.
