Unable to see drawn lines

[HMMost]

I'm new to Elements having come from using an older version of PS itself from years ago.

I find that everything I do opens a new layer, which is maddening, but I'm handling it.  My issue is that I'm creating forms, and each new line I draw is it's own layer, and oftentimes, I can draw the same line several times, but when I remove my guidelines, there are no drawn lines underneath.

Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.  I have to put a form on our website, and the existing form looks like it was created by an 8-year-old in 1992.  Ugh.

Please post a screen shot of the layers palette to provide us with a representation of your work-flow.

I suspect that there is something on the layer at the top obscuring your view of the layers below.

By the way, are the "guidelines" something that you have imported, or is it the grid that is built into PSE?

It isn't actually a layer issue.  I've moved those layers like crazy!  And the guidelines are the blue lines you can pull in from the rulers at the top and side of the screen.

Try this for practice:

File>New>Blank file. Enter dimensions, Resolution 240px/in. ok.

Activate the brush tool, and select a 50px square brush, opacity 100%

For orientation, open the grid (View>check grid)

Left click at the beginning of a line, press the shift key and keep it depressed, then left click at the end of the line, keep holding the shift key and left click for another line at right angles.

Can you see this?
