    I am excited to be here to have taken the plunge with three challenge layouts already for October. Trying my hand at scrapping on the pc in photoscape (lightbulb moment today!). Sure hope I can follow the rules and do things right with the links and stuff.

    Just a slight intro... I live in Jhb, South Africa. Have been paper scrapping since 2003 and now that I've run out of shelf space, I've decided to go digi. Been playing with the PL App for the last year but want to broaden my horizons a bit too. I find challenges are great for learning lots of new skills.

    Hello and welcome to TLP! I saw your first page in the gallery - so glad you've introduced yourself here in the forums. There is a ton of info in the scrapping pad and the learning pad. There are a few people who use the PL app to scrap, so maybe you can find some inspiration here (if you decide to keep using it).

    Welcome, and I agree, challenges help expand ones scraping skills. I love those “aha” moments when I discover a new way to scrap when doing a challenge page.

    Hello and welcome! I totally know what you mean about running out of shelf space with traditional scrapbooks! I did that same thing! I had a hard time find shelves that were even big enough for my big 12x12 albums!!! I love that you're already jumping into the challenge too! :agree

    Welcome to TLP, Cathy! I love the international mix we have here! I'm in Australia and I think timezone-wise we'd crossover so if you need a hand with anything specific here you can tag me (just type @bellbird and i'll get a notification - or similarly type @ and any specific username to tag them (like a challenge host if you have questions for them etc) So do you know Stefanie? @Eyeore
    - the 'finally' bit in her comment makes me think you may have been 'nudged' towards going digi for quite some time! :giggle
