What are a few book books for digital scrapbooking beginners?
I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?
There are tons of good message boards out there that will help you. Scrapgirls is a very good one that comes to mind. They also have online tutorials for some of the software. Check them out! www.scrapgirls.com
What are some good websites or places to buy scrapbook things?
I am looking to get some scrapbook things such as punches, stamps, paper, etc. I love to scrapbook but I am just starting it. I am looking for some place that sells paper in bug quantities, ex. 180 sheets in one pack. I also want some punches and things. Anyone know where to get these things at or any ideas?
There is the web site: www.scrapbookingtop50.com and it is full of scrapbooking sources.
Also, if you have a scrapbooking magazine around, look through it and you will see all sorts of supply resources listed in the back as well as all throughout the ads in it.

Why is it so hard for my fiance to do the little things?
I live in Michigan and he lives in Florida. We are engaged to be married in December. I have known him for years but have only seen him on 4 occasions since we have been "together". Being in a long distance relationship is extremley hard. I am crazy in love with him and I try to make him feel special by sending letters and cards, and I text him alot of "just beacuse" texts and pics and stuff.For christmas I made him a very sentimental scrapbook of our relationship and poems.
My problem is is he doesnt do these things for me barely at all. I have actually cried to him about it because it hurts my feelings that he doesnt write letters or text me without ME INITIATING.
I feel like the chaser.
I have told him how an email just "everynow and then" or a card, letter, or even a text that simply says "Thinking about you baby" would mean alot to me but he still wont to do it.
What hurts me most is the fact that I told him how important it is to me. He says that isnt him and he doesnt have the time, and that he is fine with just knowing aI love him and that it should be the same way for me. In my opinion if Im going to be his wife he should want to make me happy even if that means taking five minutes to stop at walgreens and sign his name to a card. I have been with him 9 months and I have gotten one email and one card that was late for valentines day and it was not a love card at all but a humor one.
He has texted me like only a couple times literally in 9 months without me texting him first.
I can see if we seen each other all the time, but we are states apart and to ME these things are more important when thats the only way of communication we have besides the phone.
We do find time to talk about an hour or so a day. But I just crave more of his attention and Im really not asking for much. I mean really how long does it take to text "I miss u" or something?
He claims "I dont text".
well in my mind I hate ironing. But when we live together IAM GONNA IRON his clothes. because I want to make him happy, and do that so he looks nice for work. I dont have to, and I dont really like doing it, but its not always about what I FEEL LIKE doing. Its about wanting to please your partner.
Im really upset and hurt. I just feel like what I tell him I crave from him should matter to him. Im not asking him to send me a letter everyday even one every other month would mean something to me. Right now I dont have anything I can put in a box from him.
So what is his line of thinking? Advice?
This doesn’t bode well.
I’m surprised you are boyfriend and girlfriend, let alone engaged!
He’s not really thinking about you or he’d let you know, that’s NORMAL behaviour. Even the most stoic of Men call home now and then to make sure you are well and to hear your voice.
It sounds like you are far more into this guy than he is into you!
How do I make realistic drop-shadows in gimp?
http://www.digiscrapdepot.com/freebies/tutorial/scrapbook-max-advanced-shadows/107759.aspx like these but in gimp
image shows perspective drop shadows,
you want to select object for shadow with lasso tools,
and copy and paste to new layer
then with new layer selected,
apply Filter> Light and shadows> Perspective
http://docs.gimp.org/en/script-fu-perspective-shadow.html
other option is to copy item, then duplicate on new layer,
fill with color shade,
then use Transform perspective tool to warp angle
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-perspective.html
and then blur shadow if needed.
