Your First Layout and Tutorial Links

Once you have some digital kits and have figured out what program you are going to use, it's time to work on your first layout! This is when you will fall in love with digi-scrapping! There are lots of helpful tutorials online that walk you through the first layout. I will post a couple specific links that I like for the first layout, but since it depends on what program you are using, I will then just put a bunch of links to some sites that have a lot of great tutorials for first pages, and anything else you could want to learn about. (Also a note, when you are done with your first layout, be sure to save in the original layered format like I talked about in a previous post. HERE is a more detailed desription of why and how to save your layout the different ways.)

Hummie's World has a gazillion links here too if you still haven't found enough. Chances are, if there is something you want to learn how to do, you just have to do a search online for it and you'll find 20 people to share their version of how to do it! That's something to be said about digi-scrapping - it's a very open community of people who are more than willing to share their knowledge and help people along!
