Hello all!

So glad I found this site! My family and I recently took a Disney vacation - and we came back with 1300+ photos as souvenirs! So I figured this warranted something more than a regular photobook I usually make on Shutterfly. I had seen some awesome sample books in their gallery from users using digital scrapbooking and I had no idea what that was or how to get started in it. I can't believe it took me this long to find out how huge of a market this was on the internet. I was a pretty avid traditional scrapbooker during the early 2000s, then the kiddos came along (now ages 5 and 2) and I have less and less time and more and more photos!

I was searching disney or "mouse-styled" (haha love that) kits that I could start out with and was very intimidated. But then I found the SgD store and gallery and this forum! It was a hallelujah moment! Anywho I'm on my third page, courtesy of the 1 Big Mousey Vacation kit I bought, I'm finally getting the hang of photoshop elements 8, and I am so pleased. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from all of you and have to say that I am totally in awe of the designers that put these kits and elements and papers, etc. together! I don't know how you do what you do, and I will probably never learn, but thank you!!
