    Hi all! I'm Rebecca... I was a Polly way back in the day. And then one day my tablet broke, and then we got relocated, and then my sister passed away, and life took over, and many years passed without scrapping.
    Lately I have been itching to get back into it. I bought a new tablet (because scrapping with a mouse is the hardest thing to do, I swear!), and I'm going to try to start carving out time to do layouts and be creative once again... I miss that part of me.
    So i just wanted to say hi and reintroduce myself! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you again!

    Rebecca! So nice to see you again though I'm so sorry about your sister! Hoping to see your creations soon!

    I have questions about the tablet scrapping, lol! Do you use Photoshop or Affinity? What's a quick rundown of your process?

    Welcome back! This art form is therapeutic! I totally get what you mean about scrapping with a mouse. When I used a desktop, I used a tablet and pen tool to scrap with. Now, I use the trackpad on the lap top.

    Hi Rebecca. I think many of us can relate to falling into that abyss especially after the loss of a loved one. Welcome back!

    Welcome back, and here’s to working on coming out of the abyss. (Been there). I would also love to know more about your tablet scrapping process and program of choice. Watching a 2 year old grandson frequently has got me wondering about trying to use my tablet more.

    Hello Rebecca!!! I took a long hiatus from the scrapping community a while back and it's SOO GOOD to be back! I am on the opposite spectrum - I don't have ANY talent at scrapping with tablets or iPads. LOL

    I am so sorry at the loss of your sister.

    Hi Rebecca, nice to see you back. Can totally relate. Lost my sis in 2013, and lost my mojo. Had an hiatus from digiscrap and got back to it in 2021. Cried a river the first time I made a page about my sister, but it was a nice thing to do too. Life goes on, memories get to be sweet memories again, and not just an open wound. Creativity is healing!
