Starting over with Digi Scrapping

Welcome back Heather! The SOSN sales on Wednesdays are a great way to stock up at 50% off. And the subscriptions like storyteller, MPM (memory pockets monthly) and M3 (mixed media monthly) are great too. Make sure you sign up for the designers' newsletters to be notified of sales and freebies. All the info for newsletters and all things TLP is here. https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/faq-notifications-signatures-and-other-fun-facts.48073/

Oh and check out the challenges in the challenge pad. There's a monthly template freebie and lots of the designers have challenges and freebies as well. Hope you have fun getting back into digi and the out of state move goes smoothly.

 

Welcome back, Heather! What @keepscrappin Kayla said! We're happy you joined us!

 

Welcome back Heather.
I really like the Storyteller Subscription as the kits are all very versatile.

 

Welcome back to The Pad, Heather. You have received some great suggestions. Many designers also offer some great freebies in The Lilypad store here

 

I am a huge believer in sales and subscribing to your favorite designer newsletters. Always great extra coupon discounts, and many times some freebies.
I am also a great one for justification of how spending $20 on digiscrap is the greatest bargain,
I remember the cost of developing film, the ridiculousness on a $3 sheet of stickers (only can use once) and yikes, these are your memories you are creating and your peace of mind thru the pure relaxation of scrapping and smiling at the photos you choose for your page.
lol
welcome back to really a wonderful hobby that pays off so much more than you can put in...♥

 

I'd really suggest the SOSNs on Wednesday and YES subscribe to all the newsletters til you learn your style again cause if something really strikes your OH YES! button, it's likely that the designer has a good price just for subscribers. But that means you have to strike while the iron is hot i.e within the certain time frame. Also check out the Designer Challenges Forum for many many freebies from the designers with a theme to scrap.

I'd also say some basic templates if you have an idea of what you plan to scrap. Travel? children? Project Life? Artsy? and look through the gallery a lot so if you see layouts that say That's the kind of page I want to make! then you can start a wishlist for what you like. Get basics...some neutral colors unless you are a COLOR person! I think the best bang for the buck are kits/collabs that have papers, elements and transfers/word art. The whole shebang!

 

You have lots of great suggestions above for re-building a stash. I'd also add that whenever we have a big sale or party going on around here the designers make awesome collab kits that are free with a purchase, or just free with a blog hop, so keeping the subscription to the main Lilypad newsletter is always a great idea too!

And welcome back!

 

Welcome back! Looks like you have great suggestions, and I can't think of any new ones!

 

Welcome back! TLP is the only site for me! You will be glad you returned!

 

Welcome back! I just started digi scrapping again after too many years off! I lost about 85% of my old stash so I've been trying to rebuild myself. You already got the advice that I would have suggested!

 

Welcome back! it's a Wednesday now so i hope you check out the newsletter for the 50% off SOSN (stands for Something Old, Something New if no one mentioned it and you've forgotten) and the July challenges will be up soon to give you some motivation (unless you are busy packing).
A basics pack with some solids you can recolour (there's a bunch of tutes and how-to's in the Learning Pad or just ask if you aren't sure how) and an assortment of elements like this one by Amy would be one of my first stash building suggestions if you're starting from scratch too

 

Welcome back. I like the Lilypad collabs, because you get a bit from every designer ( get one of the more recent ones ) and what ever challenge you do, there will be something there you can use. ( and they are HUGE ) . Have fun

 

Welcome back! SOSN is definitely the way to go to build up your stash. I also like shopping the BYOC each month and mixing and matching and getting those extra savings. The BYOC for July comes out on Friday!

 

Welcome back. Joining the Lilypad when I wanted to restart digiscrapping was the best thing I did.
Check our the chats and scraps. Everyone taking part in a slow scrap or speed scrap gets a coupon. Also some of the designers run their own challenges, with great prizes or discount coupons. I won $10 in the FiddleDeeDee challenge last month to spend on more templates.

 

Welcome back Heather!

 

Welcocme back Heather!

 

Joining in on the re-joining!! I haven't been around in a crazy long time! I saved my stash, though!! Nice to have someone else around that is a new/oldie, too!!

Huggles!!
