Love the PS tuts - can never get too many. Thanks for sharing.

Jen - Thanks so much for this blog! I just finished my first digital layout last night and am now thoroughly addicted. Your links are very helpful and your wisdom is timely and wonderful to a newbie. I actually digi scrap in FotoFusion by LumaPix.com. Its a very powerful and simple program that allows me to utilize the same methods, elements, papers, and styling that those that use PS for layouts can achieve. It will not allow me to create my own kits, but that's OK by me - I am sooo not there yet.

OK - I also wanted to add that I have a three year old son too who is going to be a ring bearer in October. I am a nervous nellie about it.

Thanks again!

There is also one at doitdigi.com!

Jen! Ok, I'm brand new to all of this-- reading your site is so exciting and motivating. I have to say, too, a little overwhelming!! Thanks for your help!!!

Okay, I just started learning this digi stuff, and I have a feeling you're going to be my new best friend! :)

hi jen! thanks very much for this very informative, very precious site ;) i love it!

  • Everything I write here is my work and theoretically subject to copyright (so be nice.) If you would like to use or quote from any of my entries as content for your site, please contact me at jenstrange AT gmail DOT com. Bear in mind, though, I AM influenced by what I see and read in other places -- after being absurdly immersed in scrapbooking sub-culture (though magazines, idea books, message boards, scrapbooking websites, etc) it's only natural that I have absorbed a lot of knowledge. As it's floating around in my head, I'm sure to copy SOMEONE when I try to put it into words for you to read. I will try very hard to not infringe on anyone else's copyright. Everything here is my personal interpretation of scrapbooking and should not be taken as absolute truth. Ok, you have a nice day now. ~ Graphics for banner downloaded and used with permission from Shabby Princess. Visit her today!

    (You'll notice a lot of these books are from the 90's. Hey, I'm limited by my college's library! ;o) These books are pretty out of date in some ways, but very helpful in others -- and they're free to use, so that's what I'm goin' with!)
