Designer question

[sljphotography]

Hi! I'm new to your site. I have a question for those that design their own products. How did you learn to do this? Is there somewhere that you went for a tutorial, tips, etc? I own my own photography business and have been making cards on the side and different scrapbook items for clients. It costs quite a bit to buy these commercial licenses plus my options are limited. I would like to create my own papers, embellishments, fonts etc. and didn't know where to begin to learn how. If someone could please give me some help I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't design, but this website might be helpful to you:
