Hello,

I'm Nicole and I'm getting back into scrapbooking, this time digitally. So glad I came across this website with all the different ideas and downloads available. I have 12 years of my boys' lives I need to catch up on in album forms so they can enjoy looking at pictures and memories vs just looking at a camera reel when they get older.

Thanks for saying hello!

Hai to all those who read this ... first of all ... thank you to Marisa and all those creative designers for this website. It is totally amazing. Then thank you to Lonneke who introduced me to digital scrapbooking and this website.

I'm a dutch mom of three boys, lived abroad (the caribbean and other countries in europe) most of my life and am now making scrapbooks from my old paper scrapbooks and tons of digital and scanned pictures. The individual life-scrapbooks will be a gift for each of our three sons and my hubby this year. Can't wait to see their faces and hope they will love 'm.

But first of all I need to learn a lot, read all your tutorials, collect beautiful images and scan heaps of old pictures, so I'll be hanging out here for a long time smiley

Have a beautiful day.
Lynn

Welcome Lynn! Thanks for saying hi.

Hi thank you for getting in touch with me, it's very kind. I have not been doing very much crafting lately. My husband has had prostate cancer for the last 5 years, and then suddenly a few months ago it decided to spread all over his body and he has been giving a year to live, with 6 months either side. I think we have always known this would probably happen, but didn't realise how weak he would become, first with his thigh breaking and now having to walk with 2 crutches. He spends most of his time sitting in the chair or lying down on the bed.
I find that I have lost all interest in crafting at the moment, just making a few birthday cards. One day I hope to get back to it again.

Thanks for saying hello Elisabeth. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. May you find a way to enjoy these last days together smiley

Hi all! I thought I had introduced myself, already, but I guess not!!

I'm Stephanie and I live in Georgia. I have a million interests, but I focus on faith and family. I earned a Ph.D. in Teaching and Learning in 2019, but I don't teach anymore. I use my research skills to write devotionals, opinions pieces about faith, education, and culture, and Bible studies. I like to include artwork with the pieces I publish on Substack.

I did a LOT of digital scrapbooking between about 2005 and 2015, but stopped when I went back to school. Now I have some serious catching up to do, so I'm grateful for y'all!

I have three adult daughters, two granddaughters, and a grandson who just turned two. I suspect they will show up in layouts. I've been married to the same guy since 1987.

Thanks for saying hi Stephanie. Glad you are back to scrapbooking!

Hi Denise here,

I do not scrapbook persé, but am digitally creative in Affinity suite v1.
Mostly I make stuff for my games (TTRPGs and board games) for which I am currently creating photo's for characters, news paper articles etc. (what are referred to as "handout" smiley

A lot of the basis is AI generated smiley, and from there I use Affinity Photo and or Affinity Designer to generate the handouts I need/want.

My attempt at scrapbooking is to create "personnel files" for my characters in a Sci-Fi RPG. While searching for certain PNG files, I ended up here.

Hi!
Tracy from OHIO by way of New Jersey. I work at a small college where things slow down in the summer! I was a project life diehard for many years and then went to hybrid scrapbooking and took a break while getting my masters. I am trying to do a page a week for the year and was only about a week behind but then I discovered this website and started overhauling the entire year. HAHA but in the most fun and best way possible. I plan to print one copy but save the digital file in the event that one of my twins wants it in the future.
I am an avid reader and plant mom!

Hello Everyone! My name is Ashley and I'm a first time/stay at home mom who loves making mini albums! I found Kellybell Designs and fell in love with digital scrapbooking though. Unfortunately, I haven't found any places that have classes or tutorial on how to design digital scrapbook elements like hers though... so if anyone knows where I can find a class or tutorial of that kind, PLEASE comment below and let me know! Because I have a LOT of designs in my head, just waiting to come out!

@Ashley: Welcome! Kellybell uses quite a variety of elements and so quite a variety of skills are needed to get that result. If you start going through the tutorials here you can build up your individual skills and eventually also be able to make a variety of things.

@Tracy: Welcome! I also make a weekly spread! Looking forward to seeing yours.

@Denise: Welcome! Your handouts sound cool!
