KBT Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi! Welcome to Scrapgirls!!! I think the best place to start is with downloading the free ebook in the boutique- "15 Things to Know..." It will really get you on the way! Also, be sure to sign up for the newsletter so that you can start collecting lots of great freebies! Glad you joined us!

PBarnes Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hello and welcome! Along with what Kim has suggested, you can download the free "Refresh 2" collection in the boutique to give you some things to start scrapping with. Do you have a software program yet? There are some wonderful tutorials in the University that can help with getting started and with some software specific ideas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennynoel Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I started out with Photoshop Elements. You can download a 30day free trial at Adobe's website. There are great tutorials on this site to help you learn the software. You're going to love it!! Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaP Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Welcome to Scrap Girls! I use Photoshop elements 5, the newest version of Elements is 7 (PSE). I enjoy it. What ever you choose, there is a lot of help on the message boards and great tutorials in the boutique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbi Jo Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Welcome to Scrap Girls! You've gotten some great suggestions -- I would just add that there can be a steep learning curve on the software, but Ro's "Secrets" makes it much easier to get up and running AND don't ever hesitate to ask questions on the messageboard. Everyone here is really helpful, and there's a wealth of knowledge and experience for you to draw on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
