  November's Winner for Jill-e Designs!  Congratulations to Sandra Lazrine!

From Sandra:  I cannot believe this!  I am just starting to learn about taking photographs and scrapbooking/cardmaking.  I haven't really even started a project because I have been reading and buying some supplies to get started.  I purchased the book by Patty Debowski on Digital & Hybrid Scrapbooking (mainly to learn Photoshop Elements).  I haven't done very much but the book is one of the easiest to understand that I have found when you are trying to teach yourself. 

I think my main problem is I am afraid to get started because I feel that I am not very creative and that I will mess up (even though the ladies on Scrapbook Memories say that you cannot mess up---haha).  I look online and I see the work done by the many different types of papercrafters and I am in awe.

The reason I am trying this as a hobby is because I have had to quit work because of health problems and my doctor said I needed to find a hobby to help keep me motivated, so I thought I would enjoy giving this a try.  After working most of my life this has been quite an adjustment for me.  Not working, trying to become more computer literate with photoshop elements, and wanting to scrap like all of you girls instead of learning and advancing on my own level are problems that I am working out with myself.
 
I am excited to have won the bag....These bags are super nice and the bag I have is too small for camera and accessories.
 
Thank you so very much,
