Hi from a Newbie.

[lulu47]

I have been lurking here for a while. Viewing the gallery and watching the amazing challenge creations. I have no experience in scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking or photography. I have used a free graphics (paint.net) program for a few years to do simple things. Last month I decided to do a LAD for 15 days, hoping that paint.net would be enough, but on the 4th day realized I need to use something else. I opened the Photoshop book, watched some YouTube videos and and started trying to figure it out. The more I do in PS, the more I learn how much I need to learn. I posted a layout for the May mask challenge and guess I should have introduced myself first.

A very warm welcome to you Lulu.



I don't see that you have an image in the gallery. Perhaps you just added an attachment to your post? Here is a link on how to upload to the gallery should you need it. Please ask if you need any assistance with anything!

I did just attach it. Just not ready to post my not ready for prime time layouts in the gallery.

Lulu, we are all are different levels here, so please don't feel that your pages are not good enough for the gallery.

Hi Lulu and welcome to Just Art! I'm glad that you introduced yourself. I love the beautiful page you made for the mask challenge that you attached in the forum.

You asked in the mask forum if there is a problem to do only the challenges. Many members look at the Gallery and leave comments in the gallery. We are friendly and supportive and no one will leave a negative comment in the gallery. Please join in the challenges.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Hi Lulu and welcome to this great site. I have seen your beautiful 1st upload and if you think you haven't got talent then you're wrong. Never think your work isn't good enough, if it pleases you and makes you happy that's what counts.

Hi Lulu and welcome to Just Art. This is a wonderful and nurturing place and a great place to start out. Like Robyn said, there are all levels of scrappers here and you'll learn a lot if you just take the leap. To follow up on what Grace said, please post in the gallery - this is a "no judgment zone". Going through the gallery is also a great place to get inspiration.
