New Layout

Here is my first layout in PSE 7...it has some new things that I had to get use to and I tried my hand at adding some custom drop shadows and recoloring things :-) I pulled from a lot of different kits to do this one. I even made my own paper! I did the stripped one :-)

How to Make Scalloped Edges

Hi All,

I was interested in scalloped edges in a layout and decided to do some research and figure out some ways to accomplish this.

I found some great tutorials:

Digital Scrapper

I decided to try out the Digital Scrapper Premier Membership at The Scrappers Guide. I liked that it wasn't a lesson to use their products..but more of here is how to do it on your own set of instructions. We will see how this month lesson goes. For those who are brand new to scrapbooking and want to learn...she also has a beginner instructional cd that goes with PSE or PS. If I hadn't spent ALOT of time already figuring PSE out...and I was just starting I would get it.
