Alpha Freebies- A Seemingly Logical Place To Start

Since I'm new to digital design, I've been trying to decide what type of element to take on first. Having gone back and forth between small embellishments and various other starting points, I have decided to start at the beginning (of the Greek alphabet anyway) - the Alpha. Ok, I know this might be a little larger of a task but it's been a lot of fun and I got to learn a lot along the way. This is a 2 piece set - one set of alpha blocks with a "regular" color scheme (red, green, blue, yellow, orange) and another set with a "baby" color scheme (pink and light blue).

Please let me know what you think (and remember that this is my first attempt at making any elements for digital scrapbooking). Below are layouts that my wife created using these alpha sets.

Off to find my part of the page...

My wife has been scrapbooking for a long time. She started back in the day of paper scrapbooking and has worked her way into the world of digital scrapbooking. I was never very interested in scrapbooking the old fashion way with paper and embellishments since my desire for perfection was never fully satisified by my imperfect pages. I know that imperfection is sometimes part of the art, but it's hard for me to get past on my own work - maybe it's just the straight-line-loving engineer in me. My wife's finished products have always been something that I really enjoy and made me wish that I could get more involved. Now that the world of scrapbooking has gone digital (at least our world of scrapbooking), I think I might finally have a chance to dabble in the art and share in the fun. Playing around on the computer is something that I really enjoy, so having another excuse to play is just an added benefit.

My goal is to create scrapbooking elements that my wife and I can use in our scrapbooking and then share the elements with you. Positive comments and gentle constructive criticism are always welcome since that is a great way to learn. If you feel the need to make really negative comments then please continue your journey on the web since your comments will simply be ignored.

I know that the art of digital design takes time (probably a long time) to master, but I have to start somewhere and my journey will begin here. This is just a hobby for me so I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it or how often I'll be able to come up with elements that I'm happy posting to the public. If you have any suggestions for elements, please send them my way and I'll see what I can do (please remember I'm a newbie and some ideas might be well out of reach for me).

Thank you for joining me on my journey into digital scrapbooking!

Happy scrapping,

Brian
