A friend is coming over today to learn how to digi scrap!

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Do you think you could post here about how she should join the Guild and give her some advice about lessons you've learned about anything digi related?

I'm going to advise her to start with quick pages, templates and scraplifting to find her style.

I'll also show her how I've organized my hard drive so I can find my photos, layouts and supplies.

That's awesome Stacey...the Guild is the best place to learn and get feedback. Also the Notebook and monthly kit are absolutely awesome!!!
I think showing her how to store her digi supplies and photos would be awesome, I wish I had someone tell me to organize my things when I first got started...now I just have a mess!!! Well my more recent stuff is organized pretty much...but my first years :eek:!!!
So you are giving her some much needed info!!! That is what I did with my sister when she first started!!! Can't wait to see her things in the gallery!!!

Have fun!!!

I agree that learning about organizing is of Top Priority. The problem is, it's not very exciting compared to making a page. I think your idea of getting her going on a quick page...maybe moving to a really simple "from scratch" page...is perfect. She'll need some instant gratification along with the cornerstone of Organization.

Well, she's officially addicted! You should have seen the learning curve in her brain. She was a natural! She'll be back for more fun!

She's hooked, yes! I saw the gleam in her eye. She'll join us, yes. :)

my friend Christie (Frachioni) guided me along via e-mails- I was SO grateful and I was hooked right away but I started with sketches-I think QP's are a better place to start. I have yet to find a perfect organization system though :( but for the most part I can find what I need.
