Photoshop Elements 5.0.....another baby step :)

Well; I'm getting there - slowly, inch by inch or should it be pixels by pixels?

These are my recent projects for Photoshop Elements 5.0. I'm taking an online class from http://www.joggles.com/ and it is really great. I had an opportunity to attend an open Digital Scrapbooking workshop, last night, conducted by Doris Castle. I decided to go and this is just what I needed.

Through Doris' guidance and observing others, in class, I was actually able to get layers!! It's only taken me about 4 months! :) I even was able to blur edges on one of the images along with coloring in some areas. :)

I decided to sit down, this afternoon, and do some practicing and I think this is the only way I'm going to get this. There's so much to this program but I am not going to give up and finding when I make little steps, like this, I just got so excited, I had to share.

I named the one piece, First Day of My Journey, as this was the first time that I sat, alone, and actually got layers!! Whew! The other digi collage I named Butterflies are Free and I decided to try my hand at an overlay layer with a low opacity (music sheet scan)!

Love you all........................Marilyn
