I am so new to digital scrapbooking that I probably glow "green"! I am totally amazed and a little intimidated at the incredible talent you all have, as I can't begin to imagine myself being able to create the beautiful layouts I have seen here. However, I am Irish, a redhead and a Taurus to boot, so I suppose I do have a wee bit of determination and yes, some stubborness as well, both of which will hopefully help me somewhat. My creativity, however, may be somewhat questionable!

I currently live in Arizona, but have been fortunate enough to have lived in and travelled to many parts of the world. I am 59 years old (ugh), married to my best friend, have two grown/married children and two adorable grandchildren. Although I haven't been involved in digital scrapbooking, I am an avid photographer, decorative painter and have dabbled in a number of different arts and crafts venues. The combination of my love of photography seems a perfect fit for digital scrapbooking.

I received PSE5 as a Christmas gift from my DH and within that box was an advertisement about digital scrapbooking. I didn't get around to looking in to it for a while due to many other things, but now that I have started this wonderful journey of digital scrapbooking I am excited to learn and participate as much as possible.

One thing that I have noted as I read the posts on your website is the incredible generosity of time, talent, knowledge and self everyone in this digital scrapbooking community shares. I notice people from all over the world coming together to share their personal journeys and extend warmth, friendship and a helping hand, which cannot help but touch one's heart.

In case you haven't guessed, another part of my Irish heritage is talking a lot. Hopefully, I haven't bored you all in to a state of sleep.

If you don't mind another "newbie", I would be very pleased to share my journey down the road of digital scrapping with this extraordinary community. Take care and have a wonderful day!

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless.

I too am recently new to the community and digiscrapping. I will tell you that this is just the BEST place to be. EVERYONE is so generous with their time and ideas, their praise and constructive critisism. I have found a home and I know you will too. Jump right in, ask questions, look through the gallery (the talent pool here is unlimited!!!), download as many freebies as you can get. But most important of all.....just have fun.
