Hi there!
I paper scrapped for 8 years, but I just went digi last year (a year ago this month, in fact! Happy anniversary to me! LOL!) Before I did my first page, I had NO experience with PSE. Since I already felt comfortable with my scrapping style (from paper), my biggest hurdle was learning how to use the program.
The biggest thing is just finding a style that appeals to you. Don't be afraid to try different things. My style is different from what is popular now. I like bright colors, straight lines, big titles, etc. But I've found that I have the most success when I do what makes me happy. I still branch out and try new things, but my favorite pages are always the ones where I've stayed true to my style.
I'm sure your pages are a lot better than you give yourself credit for.
Can't wait to see them!
