I am new to scrapbooking and trying to put layouts together digitally. I have done paperscrapping for years but am not happy with it any longer so am learning digital scrapping. I began doing this in January when I decided to scrap the pictures of my son who passed away this last summer and make them into a legacy for his two children and our family. I am learning by trial and error and hopefully will get it down soon.

Hello! glad to see you here! I am from Tennessee, too!!!!

I am so sorry to hear about your son's passing. Scrapbooking is a wonderful way to save and share memories of our loved ones, here and gone.

Welcome and make yourself at home!

Thank you. I am originally from WA state but wouldn't trade TN for anything. It is definitely home now. I just spent 5 days in Nashville and am anxious to scrap the pictures that I took there of my friends at the conference that we attended. And of course Easter with the grandkids. Guess what I am doing this weekend? lol I am also anxious to scrap my sons pictures and get started on that. I think it will be a healing process and lead me to a place where I can continue to move forward with my grandchildren.

Thank you for the welcome. There are many comfort in the memories and seeing his children helps more than anyone knows. I cannot wait to get started this weekend doing my first real layout on here. I have been doing a lot of reading so hopefully my camera techniques will improve also.

Welcome to the group! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. Just be sure to ask questions when you have them ~ There are so many people here that can help. It's an amazing site and so much fun too. Jump in on the challenges and crops ~ You'll learn a lot and have fun in the process.
I'm so sorry to hear about your son but so glad you are going to do a scrapbook all about him~ His children will appreciate that so much.
((hugs)) Mechelle
