R U a Beginner Scrapper??

I received a wonderful surprise in my In-box today when a friend of mine Kait Gonzalez shared a list of links she had formatted to help beginner scrappers get around the world of Digiscrap and provide them with resources such as tutorials, freebies, and well just awesome information to assist the beginner scrapper get started and be creative. I thought the information was spectacular and she said I could share that information here with you. I am telling you there are resources here I did not even know about and I have been scrapping for years now. I don't want this post to be too long so I will simply post the information for you to peruse and get out of your hair for the day. I'm off to Fot Body Boot Camp, today I am halfway through my program!! Yeah!!
