I went to the bookstore and flipped through all the books for PSE and they all seem to be geared towards photographers. I want to get Matt's book, for that reason, 'cause I want to use PSE for that as well, BUT are there any books out there geared primarily towards scrappers? I want to learn more about creating my own elements, papers, etc. and all I can find are a few misc. tutorials at this/that site. Don't get me wrong, I like tutorials too, but a book to reference to would be nice to have.

Lizzy.....have you checked out www.scrappersguide.com (http://www.scrappersguide.com)?
It's a terrific site and if you are a premier member you get a more extensive monthly newsletter as well as down loads. If you aren't a member you can still join the forums and get the small weekly video tutorials. It's a wonderful site and Linda is excellent at explaining things. She also has some dvd's at her site just for scrapbookers that are wonderful and teach you how to make your own paper, etc.

Lizzy,
When you are checking out scrappersguide.com be sure to have a look in their shop. Linda has two CDs that are well worth getting to give you the basics; The Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements, Volume 1 & 2.
Karen :)

I would also recommend checking out ScrappersGuide.com :) Linda's training CD's for PSE5 should be in her store soon. I have them for PSE3 and they are very helpful.
I have yet to see a book that really covers digital scrapping. But occasionally some of the traditional scrapping magazines will do a digital issue, and I've heard those are worth getting your hands on, although I've not seen one for myself.
