Puttin' on the Dog

I have been doing a lot of digi scrapping lately what with my new digi class starting.. This is a hobby that I have recently started. In late August I bought my new camera a Nikon D40. It is da bomb as my son used to say when he was a teenager. I love it and am getting good at point and shoot and auto settings. Am also taking a class at http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/. It is on photography, using manual settings and we get a new lesson every Monday for 12 weeks. It is a free class and so far it has been really good and is doable.

In September I purchased Photoshop Elements 5 and messed around with it alittle doing some digi pages on my own using a set of video lessons I bought from http://www.scrapgirls.com/. They were pretty hard for me as so much of it assumed that I knew anything about the Photoshop program; LOL I knew viturally nothing. Then I discoved Jessica!!! http://www.jessicasprague.com/. I am now in my seond class with her and I grow by leaps and bounds so am posting some of my new layouts here. So without further ado I present my artist side.
Now I will post the very first layout I did just by the seat of my pants. Well, ya gotta start somewhere right?
Have a good one!!

Looks like you are having so much fun in your class!! Will you be joining us for DID in March? I can hardly wait!! Your LOs look fantastic :) Keep up all of your hard work. Love your pictures of the snow ... funny to think I live only a few hours from you and haven't seen a flake of snow since I moved here a few years ago!!

Wow your blog is fabulous Ann. You are a busy lady. I have had a Nikon D70 for about three years and just love it. It certainly is Da Bomb.
Enjoy your day out.
