My name is Elsie, I live in a little town called Kempston in Bedford with my DH and our 2 dogs, Cleo is a Rottweiler and Tobias is a Beagle.

I have worked with Photoshop for many years as a freelance designer for various companies across the UK, mainly on marketing material such as brochures, leaflets, catalogs and web etc. I have always had a love for collecting and making 'pretties' as we call them in my family, anything from handmade cards to covering frames and pots with pretty wallpaper and scrapbook albums. I also like knitting and embroidery but I much prefer to be using my PC.

I have posted my second ever page in the gallery as I'm fairly new to scrapbooking. I started in early April right before my motherboard blew up. So so glad to have all of my goodies back, I've had technology withdrawal and it's been frustrating using our old family laptop which can't run anything more powerful than solitaire without revving up lol.:rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to being able to comment in the gallery, there's so many beautiful pages :wub:

Hi Elsie! Welcome to SSD! Your layout in the gallery is really well done. Much better than my first attempt many years ago! :D Feel free to ask any questions - everyone is so helpful here, and more than happy to help someone out.

Thank you all so much for such a warm welcome. I really like the look of SSD and I'm already a huge fan of Jenn Barrette and Kristen Cronin-Barrow. The comments left on my page were lovely, it's nice to get praised for something:o:p

I'm going to grab myself a coffee and sink into the gallery, so much to see! Thanks again ladies.:wub:

Hi, Elsie, and welcome to SSD! FYI...my daughter is obsessed with all things British and swears she's going to marry a Brit because she just "loves the way they talk!" :p
