Are you thinking that digital scrapbooking might be a good fit for you, but you aren’t sure where to start? Well, the best way to learn to digi scrap is to just dive in and try it!! I (Steph) learned to use my photo editing software (all of them…haha) buy using the wonderful tutorials online and a couple really good books. Janet started digital scrapping with a “Photoshop Elements for Dummies” book at her side. There are many on-line tutorials out there to help you get going. We also have a few books linked below that can teach you a lot about your chosen program. Although there are not many books written specifically for digital scrapping, there are many techniques in the books that can be applied to digital scrapbooking. 
Remember, that your library is a great resource for these books!
