It was about this time last year that I started swearing, ok, maybe not swearing, but yelling at my computer. My husband uses Photoshop for our photography business but it was his thing. I never touched it. I then started to see digital elements I wanted to be able to use in my scrapbooking. I tried to figure it out but I was in tears and close to pulling my hair out! I would spend my evenings crying to my husband to show me, but even he couldn't. Digital design was just not what he did with Photoshop.
I figured if I wanted to learn this stuff that I had to do just that! Study! So, I first learned how to edit photos, since I should be helping my husband with that in the first place. I then studied how to create a digital layout and now I am learning how to use templates.
My husband was just talking to me about how blessed he has been having me edit our shoots now. Since he has three jobs (day job, church, and Evans Photography) he feels like I have taken quite a bit of pressure off by doing a bit of the computer work.
The best thing about the online community is that you can meet and learn from some amazing artists. Michelle Filo inspired me to learn more about digital and hybrid scrapbooking. If you can learn from reading a book, you can learn even more from reading a blog! With Michelle's encouragement I kept at it. It is nice knowing that someone believes in you! This layout is using several of Michelle's designs.
