Absolutely. I took some classes there at the beginning and people were super helpful.

Same here.

When I started scrapping, I was almost overwhelmed on where to scrap, learn and participate at. I quickly decided to stop hopping all over the net and made a decision to pick a place and stick to it.

Of course, I picked this place all those years ago and when I decided to try my hand at designing, I picked it again.

I had to leave for a while to build my skills and abilities, but I did so with an eye on the prize that is SSD. When I got my "Welcome Home" letter from Robin, I am not too proud to say I cried.

January 6th marked my 4th anniversary as a designer here and I must say, there is no place like home.

Yes on the solids. I see people using busy background papers and I just can't seem to make it work for me! LOL

I agree with ya on liking to be as messy as I want. That's one of the things I love about digital. I can throw on as much paint as I want, scribble, add, remove, move things around and just play to my hearts content without worrying about ruining my layout or making a mess. Digi is definitely the way for me.

So happy to see you at SSD! I generally begin with one kit, but I will pull specific items from other kits if needed. I am most definitely a template user. I am very limited on scrapping time, so templates are a tremendous help right now. I would say I am a clean & simple. Although I do admire lots of layering.

Don't you just love that we all share the exact same hobby but each approach making a page in our own way? I love reading all your comments. Thanks so much for posting them

Hi,

I have been posting in the gallery for a few months now. I am new to scrapping, but have certainly found my love. How do I add a siggi and put my picture in my profile? I am finding it difficult to participate in some of the challenges and respond and/or edit my uploads. Please - please help me figure this out before I go nuts.

Hi everyone! I've been scrapping since 2009, but I'm not a prolific poster here. I just get lots of inspiration from the forums and gallery, and of course I love all of SSD's goodies.

I am definitely a one kit scrapper, although on occasion I have to mix it up to match a specific theme/color combo. I only scrap with templates, because I usually like to use a ton of photos and it would take me way too long otherwise. And while I love the clean and simple pages, I just can't seem to do them myself. I love to use all the elements in a kit, especially the themed ones.
