Introducing ME!!!

Well since I'm new to this whole Blog thing I thought I should start off by really introducing myself. I'm Shanna, 27. I am a SAHM to my 2yr. old daughter, Allison, and married to a really wonderful man, Keith. We live in a small town just north of Houston, TX. I enjoy spending time online on message boards and such. A year and half ago I started my own parenting message board which I spend a lot of time working on. Other than that graphics is really my passion. Way back in 1998 I was introduced to Paint Shop Pro and started making avatars for friends on a chat client. I really loved it then so I decided to take Desktop Publishing in college for a semester but didn't have the drive to learn it then so I dropped out. After years of not doing much with enhancing my skills I picked it back up again and bought Paint Shop Pro 8 and starting working more with avatars for a message board I was on at the time. After Allison was born I really got into the graphics and started making siggys. About a year ago I was introduced to Digital Scrapbooking and was hooked. I never thought I would ever make a scrapbook because I thought only paper was done, but found this is a huge hobby for many people. So here I am a year later, now using Photoshop and scrapping away. I have printed 3 books so far for my daughter and I plan on making many more in the future. I am trying to learn more of the design aspect of it all as well and start making my own kits a templates.

That all being said I have made a freebie template for my visitors to use. This is a Christmas card template and comes in 5x7 & 4x6 size. Sorry I only have it saved as a PSD file format because I'm really new at this sharing freebie stuff and hope to learn how to save in other formats in the future. ENJOY!
