I just had to pop in and share this cool little freebie from Sir Scrapalot, one of my favourite digital scrapbooking bloggers.
9 Things to Check Before Flattening Your Layout:
If you’re anything like me, you’ve had that “uh oh” moment when you realize that your title is misspelled only seconds after flattening your layout…
I’d love you to link up your favourite post from the blogosphere lately, what’s captured your attention. (It doesn’t have to scrapping related!)
So comment away!

Hi, visiting from Shimelle BFS. I really want to get into the digital scrapbooking but its all so confusing. I've got Photoshop SC3 and just can't get going with it. Thanks for the links, I'm sure that will help.

Hi, Natalie–you're right digital scrapping can be confusing. My biggest recommendation is to pick one small thing to start with (probably layers in CS3) and build from there. Don't expect your initial efforts to match up with what you can probably accomplish in paper because they probably won't. Also…don't give up. Like most good things, it takes time to build the necessary skills but, also like most other things, that happens one step at a time. Good luck!
Yup…I've definitely had to rebuild a LO based on the flattened image when I discovered that something wasn't quite right.
