Question from Becky

I have a question. I look at all those beautiful layouts and they just seem to blow my mind. I would love to give them a try, but for the most part I am just not that experienced in the craft. I would love to make some of those layouts, but when I read the directions they overwhelm me and there I am just closing the book and sitting and thinking. What can you tell me about how I can get more experienced in this and learn to make my own great looking layouts???? Please pass along anything you got, I am more than willing to take any advice.
