How fun! Thanks for posting this challenge

1. When did you start scrapbooking?
It's been a long journey! Started with traditional scrapbooking in the early 90's. Took a 9 year hiatus and came back in 2011. Man, had the market changed! So many new vendors and techniques. I couldn't get enough and eventually found myself more committed to buying and organizing product than actually getting my pages completed. So about 3 years ago, I had an online garage sale with my scrapping circle - sold every single thing (except my cricut) and converted to digital scrapbooking. T

2. How did you find The Lilypad?
When I made the conversion to digital scrapbooking, I had joined the NAODS Facebook page and asked for the best place to buy digital kits from. So many people recommended The Lilly Pad, and I've been a loyal customer ever since.

3. Where do you scrapbook?
Once a month (about 8 mos out of the year) I go to a local 3-5 day weekend crop with my scrap circle. Anywhere from 12-200 people depending on the crop I choose. I try to scrap at home, but my creative mojo just isn't there. Most people at the crop are traditional scrappers, so I always get a kick out of walking in with ONLY my backpack and overnight bag - while they are lugging all their supplies back & forth from their car.

4. What program do you use for digital scrapbooking?
Photoshop Elements 2019. Learned on 2016 and have never tried anything else. Took a little bit to learn....and there is still so much I don't know....but it works well for me.

5. Mac or PC?
Always been a PC kind of gal.

 

1. When did you start scrapbooking? paper scrapping in 2004, and I swapped to digital around xmas in 2005
2. How did you find The Lilypad? I followed Sahlin Studio over in late 2010!
3. Where do you scrapbook? I have a desk in DH's office but most of the time that's covered in stuff, it's a dump zone for notes and 'pay this, sign this, do this later, and 'mum, i don't know where this goes' stuff. So mosty it's at the dining table or on the lounge with my laptop
4. What program do you use for digital scrapbooking? Photoshop CS6 - it's so much better than the first version of PS i used to make 'postcards' from photos (or just photo collages or storyboards as i know they're called now) which i think was at the time an already outdated version called 3.0!
5. Mac or PC? PC - always!

 

1. When did you start scrapbooking?...Not Sure Exactly...I Did Paper Scrap For Awhile...Probably Around The 2000's..But I Found This To Be Very Messy...Very Limiting...& Very Expensive!...Especially Alpha Letters!!!...If I Had A Dollar For Every Time I Ran Out Of Of The Letter "E"...I'd Be Rich Now!...It Was Exasperating!!!...So I Ditched That...& Sadly I Strated Scrapping Seriously Because My Mom Had Passed Away...I Wanted To Make Just A Few Digital Pages In Her Memory Of Some Old Photos & A Poem That I Wrote For Her...I Still Have Them...I Look At Them Every Now & Then...But They Are Light Years Away From How I Scrap Now...

2. How did you find The Lilypad?...Well...That's An Easy One To Remember...I Was On Line Trying To Find Some Free Stuff To Scrap With & Discovered That OMG! Scrapbooking Was A Huge Deal! & Lots Of People Actually Do This...And OMG!...There Are Stores Dedicated To Just This???????????...Really???...So I Was Just Looking Around On Google At Random Scrapbook Pages...And Low & Behold...I Stumbled Across One I Loved...I Clicked On It...& It Took Me Right To...[Wait For It]...Little Butterfly Wings Facebook Page!!!...My Mind Was Blown!!!!!!!!!...I Couldn't Figure Out How This Was To Be?...How Could One Make Pages Look Like This?...Anyway...LBW Was Having A Contest & She Was Giving Away A $50.00 GC To Her Store...The Lilypad!...I Can't Remember What I Said...But She Picked Me As The Winner!...So I Was Thrilled Indeed!...I Came To Her Store...& The Rest Is History!...#LilypadForever...


3. Where do you scrapbook?...Always In Our Spare Bedroom...Sitting In A Chair At A Desk...I Don't Have A Laptop...Only A Desktop...I Am Surrounded By Clutter...A Dresser...A Hamper Behind Me...See-Through Boxes On Wheels Filled With All My Crafting Things...I Am A Hybrid Card Maker Too!...It Was How I Started Creating With Paper Stuff...Now I'm Doing Mostly Digital Cards...But Occasionally...I Dabble With A Combo Of Both!...I'm Still Totally Obsessed With Scrapbook Paper!...I Make My Own Envelopes To Match Each Card I Create...So I Need Lots Of Options For Paper!...[This Is Something I Tell Myself...But I Haven't Bought Any Paper...Scrapbook Packs Since Before Christmas 2019...]...And I Still Have Mountains Of Paper Here!...

4. What program do you use for digital scrapbooking?...That's A Funny One...I Started Out Using A Few Different Scrapbooking Software Kits...But Settled Into Using "Creative Keepsakes Scrapbook Designer Platinum"...I Have Been Using This Program For Years & Years!...Why Fix What's Not Broke Right?...I Never Felt The Need To Change...It Works Really Well & Has A Lot Of The Same Features As PSE...But As Time Went By...I Realized That There Were Things That I Wanted To Do Digitally...That My Program Couldn't Do...But I Couldn't Afford PSE Or Anything Else For That Matter...So I Kept On Going As I Was...Until One Christmas Not Too Long Ago...Some Of Santa's Special "Family" Elves Visited Me & Brought Me Photoshop Elements 19!!!...I Was So Shocked Upon Opening Up The Box That I Just Stopped & Stared!...Stunned!...I Couldn't Believe It Was Real...It Felt Like A Dream...I Actually Cried A Little!...I Was So Happy!!!!...It Was By Brother-In-Law Who Is Very Crafty Himself...Heard Me Talking About Photoshop One Day To My Dad! & The Idea Was Hatched...So My B-In-Law,My Sister...AKA [His Wife]...& My Brother...All Went In On It Together & Bought It For Me!...About 2 Christmases Ago...I Hardly Touched It For A Year...But Eventually I Started Learning How Yo Use It...It Took Me A Long Time Though...It has only Been In The Last Say...6-8 Months That I Had Become More Comfortable With It...But More Recently...I Had Only Scrapped My First 3 Layouts Completely Created In PSE 19...Within The Last Couple Of Weeks!...True Story!...And Completed My First 2 Pages Completely Using Templates Properly!...Also A True Story!...

1. When did you start scrapbooking? About 2003 - found DD's wedding photos (800 of them) still in a box 18 mths later so I was going to 'put' them into an album for her much to my friend's disgust! You can't JUST put them into an album and she showed me her scrap books! Didn't feel that I could start with the wedding photos to do them justice, so just played with everything else. Here I am 17 years later now scrapping them during this time of ISO - and 'putting' them into an album!!!
