How To Digi Scrap? Digital Scrapbooking Tutorials

I have few friends who have been seeing my digi scrap layouts and my photobooks and they are somewhat curious on how to do it. My sis JoyD recently got hooked on digital scrapbooking too, i thought her some few tricks on how to put shadows etc. but she also learned on her own by reading tutorials online.

I started my digital scrapping way back in 2006 and I was still using PSP8 (Corel Paintshop pro) that time. It was a very friendly image editing program especially for the newbies. I later on shifted to PSCS3 (Photoshop CS3) bec. it is more flexible and there are more tricks that you can do there. You can also use: Photoshop elements
