Why I scrap? There are more answers to this question. There's not only one answers, there are more. I started digital scrapbooking on January 1st, 2010. I wanted a fun way to preserve my memories and photos. I didn't want them to be just digital or just in a plain photobook to never look at them again. I was a little bit familiar with paper scrapbooking, but in a simple way. I am not handy with glue and scissors and I wasn't really happy with the results I got. And it wasn't really paper scrapbooking either. So one day, I discovered digital scrapbooking. I was a member of a forum (not scrapbooking related) and there were some people posting their digital layouts. It immediately spoke to me. It got my attention. I was a little familiar with photoshop, downloaded some freebies and got started. I made my layouts without a template first, but I wasn't completely satisfied. Later, I discovered templates and learned how to you those. My love for digital scrapbooking started to grow and grow. So I started digital scrapbooking to make fun photobooks in the first place, but it became a hobby which I love very much. I like to be creative without using glue and scissors and making a mess. I love that I can use my supplies over and over again. When I finish a layout and I'm happy with it, it gives me so much satisfaction. I have this hobby for over 11 years at the moment and I can't imagine myself giving it up. Plus, I see myself evolving and evolving. I still learn about how to use shadows, writing stories, discovering and controling new techniques. I still learn about my program and how to use it. All of that is giving me also so much satisfaction. I don't see myself letting go of this hobby so easily. Digital scrapbooking is something close to my heart.

      @MrsPeel First of all... Happy new year to you and your beautiful daughter. I wish you both all the best for the new year.
      Oh sweetie, thank you so much, my sweet friend. You totally made my day. Thank you for chosing my layout. I know, I'm bad at answering messages at the moment. Christmas holidays have been so busy. I start working again tomorrow. I hope things slow down and I'll be able to answer you within a few days. But don't worry, I don't forget you!
      I'm trying to play the challenges here this month. So far, I'm going great. And I love the layouts I created so far. I'm not easily pleased with myself, so that's a lot. Lol. Anyway... talk to you really soon. Enjoy your weekend!

      Sarah!!! I'm so happy to see you here doing MOC :) Happy New Year to you and yours too. I hope things have gotten better with your numbers in Belgium? I adore your reasons and find it so funny that your first instinct on seeing digital was delight and mine was resistance. I think you saw potential I did not yet - which may explain why your shadows and clusters are so amazing! xo

      @norton94 Thank you so much for your kind words, Krista! I LOVED reading your story. It really touched me.
      Well yes, I'm just really not good with glue and scissors. It never looked 'right' to me. Lol.
