Newbie here

[tzuhouse]

Hi all. I'm not a newbie to DIS but I haven't really visited the scrapbooking area much, before. I've been scrapping since 2/99. My first child was born 2 months later. I was a CM consultant for a short while and then taught classes at several different scrapping stores in the Houston area. Kind of miss teaching, but time is an issue these days.

Our Disney trip was in 12/05 and it took 2 full 12x12 albums to scrap that story. I have not scrapped in a number of months, just being way too busy with scouts and such, but I went to a retreat a couple of weeks ago and my fire has been relit. I'm now trying to get caught up on our everyday stuff so I can come back in September and scrapbook Disney without feeling guilty. I have to scrapbook chronologically. Sometimes I force myself to, just because there might be a series of shots I'm excited to scrap, but some others that need to be, but won't be as much fun. MAKE SENSE?

Not sure if ya'll share layouts on here or not. Haven't read too many threads yet. Here's my Disney stuff. Just click on subalbum Disney 12x12

I just sold my Sizzix and QuicKutz on ebay. Made a lot more than expected! Bought myself a Cricut with Jasmine and Stamped extra fonts. Anxious to sit down and use it. Someone has one at the retreat and I loved it!

Guess that's it for now. Hoping that ya'll will inspire me to stay on target.

Welcome Mary!!!!

We're glad you could join us and that you are inspired to start scrapping again. We love to share everything so post away. There is a sticky at the top for our virtual scrapbook or you can post pages in your own thread. We have monthly challenges too, Feb will be starting up soon. Who ever gets the lost pages done that month wins a prize from the previous months winner.
We also have a swap sub forum and down towards the bottom is the living room, we just have random chit chat there. We also have our own organization thread and a Wishes thread.

So jump on in, we're crazy but we have lots of fun!!!

Thanks! I've tried to post pictures on DIS before and always have a difficult time. Can I just post to photobucket and then post the link on DIS? I don't know why I can never get them to post. Maybe I have to shrink them first? Photobucket shrinks them for me. I'm lazy. LOL Have to go pickup a new embossing gun. I blew mine up. POOF. It was smokin'

Welcome to the scrap section and if you prefer to post links to photobucket, go for it! We'd love to see some of your pages.

Welcome! We love to have new scrappers to inspire us.

Thanks again. I did figure out how to link from photobucket to DIS and posted all my layouts from the first trip, earlier on the other thread. Hope I don't get in trouble for posting too much in one day. I did realize I need to take better pictures of my layouts!

Going to set up my Cricut now. Anxious to play with it.

Welcome to the Scrapping board!! Glad you have joined us! I loved looking at your Disney Album, you are a wonderful scrapper! Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks! I'm sitting here right now trying to motivate myself to do a layout or two today. Spent all day in cub scout training classes. I think I left my brain cells there because I'm sitting here looking at pictures and just can't get a creative idea in my head. I love to scrap. I find it relaxing, but I have to be in a certain mindset. Too bad Starbuck's doesn't deliver.
