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.
Welcome! If you like challenges because they help you learn new skills, be sure to check out the technique slow scraps! There's usually at least one on the calendar each month. Welcome again!
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).
Hi and welcome to TLP! The challenges here will definitely help to get your creativity going and you'll find lots of inspiration in the gallery. Be sure to ask questions when you have them. There is always someone around who'll try to help out.

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.
Welcome and I hope you settle in and enjoy being here. Do not hesitate to ask for any help you may need.
Hi Cath, and welcome to the Lilypad! I saw your page for my date challenge - you are mastering digi very quickly!! So glad you jumped right in! We're a friendly bunch here.
Welcome Cathy - lovely to see that you have joined the digi world (finally!) This is a safe and happy place to hang out and ask questions if you have any.
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!
Welcome!!! I have loved making the change from paper to digi (about 10 years ago)! Enjoy your time here and if you are ever unsure about something just ask!! This is an amazing group of people with a huge information base!!
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!
Hello and welcome to the Pad!! So glad that you took the plunge...if you have any questions, ask away - there's always someone around willing to help you out!!
