New here and Love it!

[coopert]

Hi! My name is Theresa and I am new here at The Sweet Shoppe. I am 39, and have two boys- Elliot is 3 and Alex is almost 4 months. I live in Southern California, and used to do paper scrapping, with a lot of creative memories stuff. But Digital scrapbooking is now my favorite. It is so great having no mess while I scrapbook now. I have been buying and collecting kits for about 6 or 7 months and making a page now and then, but I just joined the Sweet Shoppe community and love it. I love the challenges and everybody here seems so nice and helpful. The layouts I see in the gallery are amazing. I have never really done clustering so I am having fun trying it with my recent layouts.

I have a couple of questions. One is what is the name "Sugar Baby" under my screen name? And the other is about posting. When I post a LO I list the kits and their designer that I use in the description of the lo, but should I be putting it in the designers gallery also. That is what I am doing. But I am always terrified of doing the wrong thing when I am new to something. So let me know if I am doing something wrong, and I promise to fix it fast.

Now, I am going to put some of my challenge lo's into the February portfolio. I am shooting for 20 points, but that is probably a bit ambitious. I will just do as much as I can.

Oh yeah, its addicting here! And don't open the Sneak Peak thread unless you want your wallet thinner! LOL! Great stuff!

Yep your name changes with post counts and I've heard in the past that designers like it when we post their stuff in their galleries (assuming its using primarily theirs). Welcome to the wonderful world of digital...your paper scrapping days are numbered! LOL, Ok so you can do both!

Welcome!! So glad to see you posting here. Posting in the gallery is completely up to you... as a designer, I love it when a customer posts a layout with my product in my gallery! But it's certainly not required. Just jump in and have fun with it!

Welcome! I'm pretty new around this community as well -- I haven't been here for a month yet. HOWEVER, I wanted to say Hello and give you a warm welcome as when I joined, I had such awesome feedback and such sweet welcomes myself.

This is definitely the right place to be -- I've had a blast logging in every day and seeing what everyone is up to. I have a long ways to go before I'm anywhere close to being as talented as these girls but I sure am having fun learning.

Jump on in and join the party! :thumbup:
