Hi there! I'm Farrah...Once upon a time, I was a traditional scrapper, then became very interested in photography and scrapping fell to the side. I've recently become obsessed with digital scrapping and since I have TONS of photos, I'm super excited to put them all into a book. Every year, I post 25 days of Christmas photos, (which I also plan to put into their own books). If anyone would like to check them out, they are on my personal blog: www.thejoblingfamily.com thanks, Farrah
Welcome to the Pad!! This place is the best!!!! I am sure you are going to have loads of fun here with us!!!
Welcome to TLP, Farrah! Your photos are so gorgeous... Day 14 is my fave though... I can totally relate to the middle one LOL
Farrah, I'm glad you popped over! Welcome! Your blog photos are gorgeous - you've really captured the season. Tell us about your gear. Are you a Nikon or Canon girl? ETA: Farrah, you had a typo in your blog link. I edited your post to fix it so everyone could see your lovely work.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! =) I'm a Canon. I mostly use my Mk2 and 24-70 or 70-200...but I have a bunch of other misc. equipment that i use for different purposes. I also shoot professionally, so depending on the client and situation, I'll use the other stuff weddings, newborns, etc...
Hi Farrah! Welcome to the Pad I am in the same boat you are, I used to scrap all the time and then got bit by the photography bug and that has taken over my life for the last few years (and TLP of course). So glad you stopped to say hello! Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Gorgeous photos! Love the one with the kid in the little car with the Christmas tree on top! So creative! Im into photography too but I'm limited by the equipment I outgrew years ago. Can't wait to see some of your layouts!
Thanks everyone...How/where does one post LO's? I can click on your galleries - SO FUN - but I'm not entirely sure where *my* gallery is? Also...how do you come up with LO ideas? Thus far, most of mine are pretty much scraplifted from somewhere *ahem* and by "somewhere" I really mean the PP and OLB flickr groups.
I love to participate in The Lilypad Challenges, they have many great layout ideas. If you go to the gallery, you can click on upload photos, then you choose a gallery, I usually use member gallery unless there is another specific gallery I want to post to. Then you upload your layout there. Hope that helps a little!
Welcome Farrah! Your photos are INCREDIBLE!!! I almost cried when I saw your Day 15. Such a beautiful tribute. I am just getting into photography myself and I would love to know more about your work. I hope you will be active in the Photography Pad!! <Hint hint> Looking forward to seeing your layouts too.
welcome!! so great that you've jumped in and made yourself at home! can't wait to get to know you better! your photography is beautiful! i'm sure your digi pages will be as well!
