    (Apologies, the weather is drab and my boys have been binge watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

    Ahem.)

    Hi there, I'm Trish and I'm a newbie!

    I've been floating in and out of the online digital scrapping community for a few years but it's been a constant in my life since I realised that I could take my Photoshop obsession and my scrapping obsession and put them together. I honestly can't believe it took me so long, I mean, less mess! Well, less physical mess, still a huge stash that I have no idea what to do with.

    I've not been a particularly productive scrapper these last couple of years; I'm sloooooooooowly documenting my little boys' life. Hopefully it'll be done before they leave home (they're almost-4 and almost-2 so I've got a bit of time).

    Anyway, I'm excited to be here and I'm hoping the collective enthusiasm and creativity that I've seen thus far in my lurking will somehow allow me to rediscover my own scrap spark. I am so uninspired! I have the time (sometimes) and I certainly have the supplies, but I just can't seem to find my scrapbooking mojo.

    So yes, hi. It's great to be here! :D

    Welcome Trish! My boys went through the Jake phase too. At some point I carved a melon into a very basic pirate ship for a birthday party. But, I digress (as I often do). Again, welcome!

    Welcome! We had a very brief Jake phase. It was a wonderful respite from the Neverending Curious George phase!

    The less mess is a great reason to switch to digital! Little boys are awesome! I hope you'll shares some pages with yours!

    Welcome again!

    hi and welcome. the feeling of moving from traditional to digi was so freeing for me. LOL. As my kids got older (12 & 9 now), it made more sense for me to have my laptop while they watched a movie instead of me pulling out all my stash (or not scrapping at all!!).

    you are in a GREAT spot for learning and being inspired!!
