    1. How long have you been scrapping? I switched to digital around 2010 other then my daughters dance team and have worked both a shop team in the past and designer teams until now. How long at TLP? Apparently I joined late 2011 but I have always been more of s lurker most places but have decided I need to push myself to open up more and join in.
    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above? I use to do paper up until my daughter graduated and I no longer create pages ready to assemble for her dance team. Now I only digital scrapbook and do not miss the mess at all.
    3. Favorite thing to scrap? My granddaughters and children
    4. Least favorite thing to scrap? Anything about me or heavy journaling
    5. 2019 scrapping goal? To become less of an introvert online and IRL, reach out more not just lurk or avoid conversations. I want to create lasting Digital scrapbooking friendships and hope to join a shop team again at some point this year.

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP?
    I started scrapbooking in 2009. I was looking for some png images to put onto some photos and coloured backgrounds. Stumbled upon digital kits and got hooked. I have shopped at TLP store in the past over the years but signed up for the forums in May 2018.

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above?
    I have tried a bit of paper scrapbooking in the past but never got hooked. I love digital but may try a bit of hybrid this year

    3. Favorite thing to scrap?
    I love to scrap photos of my girls and anything Disney. I also love to scrap the everyday moments as a way to document and preserve the little details in our busy life.

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap?

    Not sure I have a least favourite although there may be some challenges or events that are a bit more challenging than others.

    5. 2019 scrapping goal?

    Continue to scrap past Disney trips and other majour events/trips. I'd love to explore Art Journaling a bit more and try a bit of Hybrid. Build more digi friendships, strengthen current friendships and work hard at the dream of becoming a Pollywog.

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP?
    I've been scrapping for almost 19 years... probably longer, as I did a form in high school and was the yearbook editor for two years. At TLP since 2009, but in and out... I'm on Kate Hadfield's CT team.

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above?
    Mostly digi - my roots are in hybrid, but as my son got older, homeschooling is taking a lot of my time... so I only do hybrid for his birthday invites and goodie bags. I dabble in paper with my bible journaling.

    3. Favorite thing to scrap?
    My favorite thing to scrap are little everyday moments.

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap?
    Holidays... ugh.

    5. 2019 scrapping goal?
    I have about 28 albums open (december daily, project life, vacation, baby book, etc)... I hope to at least get ONE album done and printed! Setting the bar low.

    Ok - here we go....

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP?
    I always been dabbling with crafty stuff since I was a kid and looking back some of the things I did could probably be considered scrapbooking. BUT I found digi back in 2006/2007 when I was searching the internet for fun stuff to do with my photos - and I am stuck since then! According to my avatar I have been here since June, 2011.

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above?
    Digi AND paper! Occasionally the hybrid ones too...

    3. Favorite thing to scrap?
    The family, our dogs, vacations, the ordinary, selfies...Don´t really know what would qualify as favorite.

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap?
    Ooh this was easy - JOURNALING!!! That is my Achilles heel!

    5. 2019 scrapping goal?
    Really, really get started with PSCC and know more techniques!
    Oh - and do my PL 2019! 2018 is a lost cause.... :carryon:giggle

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP? I've always loved looking thru photo albums, in high school I started saving momentos from games, events, etc and photos of friends and letters, I'd keep them in boxes but never did anything with them per say. In 2009 I happened along digiscrapping and knew this was my niche. This is year 10, I love it! I've been at TLP since Sep 2014!

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above? Digi for me all the way!

    3. Favorite thing to scrap? Anything I can!

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap? see above, there is no such thing lol

    5. 2019 scrapping goal? I don't really do scrappy goals. I just go where the mouse takes me. I don't scrap chronologically and I don't print chronologically, so my albums are a culmination of life moments.

    What a great thread! I need to sit down with a coffee and read thru all the posts to learn more about everyone! Here's my story.

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP? I've been here for 10 yrs but didn't digi scrap much for the first few yrs as I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. I was a paper scrapper before digi for about 7 yrs but then became intrigued with digi. I started reading articles, taking classes, watching videos and just asked about a million questions until I finally delved into it and just started playing. I was comfortable with PS for editing photos, I just had to learn how to scrap with it. It's been a love affair ever since :)
    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above? First paper, then hybrid, then digi and now I'm going back to a bit of hybrid (card making) but will forevermore digi scrap my layouts.
    3. Favorite thing to scrap? I like it all and jump back and forth between different styles and things to scrap about.
    4. Least favorite thing to scrap? I like AJ stuff now but I still like to include photos most of the time, so I'd say photo-less pages are what I create the least of, but can't say I dislike it, I just prefer photos included.
    5. 2019 scrapping goal? I really want to find time to scan some old pics from the 1930's and onward. I've got a few bins of photos. I can't wait to start scrapping some of those oldies. My scanner isn't working well so I need to figure out the scanning part first before anything else.

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP?

    I started playing with scrapbooking in 2002, my senior year of high school. I began dabbling digitally in 2011, and joined the Lilypad and really scrapbooking in 2015. 2018 was my quietest scrapbooking year because of school. I'm so happy to be getting back to it.

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above?

    Well i semi answered. Ha. I started paper, went to digital. I now am semi hybrid because i use scrappy supplies for my planners.

    3. Favorite thing to scrap?

    Stories! I really love telling stories on my pages. For that reason, i tend to be all over the place with year long projects, and i just scrap whatever story i want to at the time.

    I also really really like doing a 'year of' pages. I have each year of my kids photos... like every month on the 13th i took a pic of my daughter and then at the end of the year i put those 12 photos together. I just love the comparison and steady growth on display. But... i hate how long it takes me to get all the photos for those projects. Hahaha.

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap?

    I've come to dislike the annual projects, BUT i also feel compelled to make them. It's a conundrum. I apparently baby books also are not a favorite, because ive been working on those for about 6 years and I'm still not done. Haha

    5. 2019 scrapping goal?

    I actually would like to do some hybrid scrapbooking, with templates. I received a silhouette cameo for Christmas and i want to be able cut out kits and make tangible pieces and pages. Sounds fun to me!

    Also... i have ideas for a non-time 52 weeks project, that i think will be more art journal based. I've been missing my art journaling!

    Generally, just getting back to scrapbooking and supporting my creative teams. :beat

    How long have you been scrapping? Paper- 1998 maybe? Somewhere around there. I got into digi around 2008 when my son was born. I guess I'm pretty new here. Apparently I stalked a lot before actually joining, lol. Maybe it is because I followed some of the designers when they were in other places.
    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above? Digi all the way now!
    3. Favorite thing to scrap? My boys!
    4. Least favorite thing to scrap? me
    5. 2019 scrapping goal? keep up with my project life.

    Drive by hi with a little walk down memory lane... here’s a little of TLP’s image history with pretties of the landing/homepage and the main header, back to 2007. Natalie Braxton, Amy Wolff and I did love our “Frogger!”

    1. How long have you been scrapping? And how long at TLP?

    I started out with free kits from Shabby Princess to make forum siggies for my due date forum friends - and that would have been about 2005, I think?? I started out at 2 Peas in a Pod, then migrated to DigiShopTalk when the whole paper-digi fight broke out. I found TLP a long time before I actually signed up. I forgot the artist's name, but I think her last name was Braxton, and she made fun little embellished strings, and Gina Miller, I think was here. I felt like you gals were the cream of the crop and cutting edge with artsy styles that I could never be able to do. I ran a scraplift blog called "Lifts with a Twist" through Gingerscraps, and that was pretty much where I hung my hat. After a particularly bad drama situation, I left the digi world and stopped scrapping. In 2016, I decided to come back, and I came back here to challenge myself, and now you can't get rid of me.

    2. Digi, paper, hybrid, all of the above?

    I was, is, and always will be digi. I can't cut a straight line, and I just can't design with paper as I can on the computer.

    3. Favorite thing to scrap?

    My family!

    4. Least favorite thing to scrap?

    Hard times - but I do them!

    5. 2019 scrapping goal?

    OOO boy. Last year, my goal was to learn how to Art Journal. I took Tangie Baxter's classes, and I feel I made a very big jump in my scrapping. This year? I would LOVE to learn how to make digital ART...like this:

    [​IMG]

    I don't know what to call that style. Anyway - I want to jump in my knowledge of using the tools in Photoshop.
