My First Digital Scrapbook Page!!!

K so I totally know I should be in bed right now but I've been working on this off and on all day and I just finished it, so I wanted to share. I've been dabbling with the idea of digi scrapping for a while now, but just haven't taken the time to try it. Well.....I did today. My thoughts are that even though I love the feel of the paper and the 3D embellishments of traditional scrapping, my hang up always comes when I get to the picture; don't have time to sit and edit it (I can't leave a pic untouched), let alone find the pic(s) I want to use, then find a printer to use that I'm pleased with. Besides the picture problem is the fact that I would love to scrap on the go or while I travel and me being me, I feel like I have to have every single piece of my collection of supplies with me, so I never know what to pack. *hmph* See my frustrations....so the thought continues on that-HELLO!, I can have it all at my finger tips on the computer: pictures, editing, digi elements, you name it. On the go, will travel, doesn't take up a whole table of space for weeks on end because I am not a fast scrapper. Now that all sounds pretty good to me. Today I sat down while I had some time to kill and checked out http://www.shabbyprincess.com/ . It was a great site for beginners like myself. They have free downloadable kits and tutorials that walk you through a layout step by step, they even tell you how to save your layout. YES! Quite possibly I think I could be hooked. Now I just have put the guilty conscience aside and use all of my traditional supplies for card making. So let me know what you think. I think I completed this project in less time than I would have a traditional layout; and that included a couple of breaks for dinner and teaching myself from the tutorial. Em, Randi, I'm curious to hear your thoughts cuz you have heard my frustrations in person and you two are amazing scrappers. P.S. Thanks to my friend Angela Hill who suggested SP for my first layout.
