I am cleaning up my files - found these
I started learning PSE in 2004 -- after using every greeting card program out there, thought I'd join the 'big leagues' -
Discovered scrapbooking when I found a book called "Digital Scrapbooking in Easy Steps"
The book had projects you did and while doing the projects, you learned various PSE techniques.
These beginning layouts were created in 2007 - earliest of my layouts that I could find - don't know if there are earlier layouts somewhere
These are my own designs using the PSE techniques I was just learning - I used these techniques in just about every layout in those days
I was just learning about preserving pixels - I'm sure the camera was good enough, but I was careless when copying and using photos so
you can see these photos were not very good quality.
Then I found templates - and I'm still a huge fan of templates - even if you do not use them as designed, they are a great jumping off point
Notice I had already learned to clip text to scrapbook paper - and those were the days when everything had layer styles.
This is still one of my favorite layouts.
