    Hi, I live in England. I used to do absolutely loads and loads of scrapbooking, but life got in the way a few years back, and I've got out of the habit of scrapbooking and journalling. I want to get back into it again.

    I'm mum to 3 children, two of whom have special needs. My hobbies are art, paper crafting and sewing - well anything remotely creative that I can get my hands on and have the time/space to do really.

    Welcome back to scrapping Angela! What worked for me to get back into it was committing to scrap one day a week (I chose Sunday). I've been scrapping every Sunday (at sometimes other days too) for over two years now. :D

    Hi Angela! Glad you found us and have the chance to get back into crafty and scrappy hobbies! I've only visited England once (I'm in Australia) but look forward to getting to know more about your life and family through your pages.

    Are you a digital scrapbooker or paper/hybrid scrapbooker? Either way, there is a lot of inspiration here and goodies for every conceiveable theme of page in the store (and Wednesdays select items are 50% off so signing up for the newsletter as Kayla said is a good idea to check out specials on Wed and Fri's new release products on intro sale as well) If you need a hand with anything, give a shout (start a thread with your question or put it in the status field in the right column of the forum page (or near the bottom if your on a phone) so someone can help you out! Again, welcome welcome!

    Welcome! We have a few scrappers that live in England here. What's your favorite part of scrapping? I love seeing my family look at the stories and remember what happened.
    We have challenges here too if you like those.

    I'm primarily a digi scrapper, but sometimes do hybrid for mini albums and gifts. Thank you, I've signed up for the newsletter.

    My favourite part of scrapbooking is to tell stories. My husband is an avid photographer, and I like adding personality and character information to them through scrapbooking. I like including quotes of what my children said, or some of the amusing things they did at a location or event.
    I used to digi-art journal to keep myself sane amongst the demands of being a 24 hour carer. I switched journaling with sketchbooks, crayons and collage instead which were more portable for me and could be done in a waiting room or in the park etc.

    That's awesome! I love seeing art journals. They are always so expressive.

    That totally makes sense! I'm glad you found a way to make it work for you!
