I found SSD in October 2009, looking for a template to make some popcorn containers, I found Heather's hybrid templates & fell in LOVE. I started participating in challenges in January 2010, My first kit was KCB's Cloud 9.
Here is what I did with the templates: Here is the first page I uploaded here (with that first kit)

I resisted the tempation to go digital for a LONG time!!!! (My previous jobs all involved working with computers.) But, alas, you can't take the geek out of the girl, so once I tried digi, I was in LOVE!
I found SSD after I played with all the online freebies for awhile. SSD just had the best quality products, and it's my STYLE!

I've been here since the store opened. I heard that it was opening at DST (I think, but maybe DST wasn't around yet then) or SBB and came over to check it out.

I was here on opening day, and I remember that Robin did a call for a site CT but didn't announce the designers, and I was thinking, "WHO IN THE WORLD would agree to create for a site without knowing who the designers are?!" Then I saw the designers AND the babe list, and I wished I had been who in the world, lol.
I'm like LeeAndra and saw the advertisement at DST. I'm so glad Robin opened the forums; it's my happy home. And I'm glad Ashley is scrapping, too, and that she's got more self-control than I do.

Wow I have no idea! Guessing it was a designer who was part of a blog train. I have only been active (ie lurking) on online forums since about Thanksgiving time. I haven't posted many layouts anywhere, just trying to get a feel for where I am comfortable. I did a series of challenges in January on a forum and just wasn't that comfortable, now I'm trying to find one or a couple of good places.

I have no idea when I first found SSD. It was probably 2006 or so, not sure. But it was/is such a tight knit community I felt kinda "out of place" since I didn't know some of what was being talked about. But later after becoming friends with Lena, I decided to try it again and forced myself to open up and join in and now can't imagine ever leaving.
So for new people, please don't be intimidated/out of place!! This really is the best bunch of scrappers and friends and even though we are all different, we are all just scrappers trying to be real here!

I just found SSD a few weeks ago by seeing some layout designs from SDD on another scrapping website and have fallen in LOVE with it! I love the designers! Great products! So glad I found this place

Was Meg who brought me here...blame her.
I knew Meg and Sara before my days of scrapbooking when we used to make PSP sig tags...Meg was in a contest at SBG and we slowly started scrapping LO's and Bam...we ended up here at SSD. Looks like this was the first LO I uploaded in July of 2007

I've been around since the beginning too. I first learned about digiscrapping on TwoPeas back in Nov. 2005 I think and joined The DigiChick that month and later saw Robin's announcement about starting SSD and came over here to check things out. I even remember when Shannon Bieger originally started DST in June 2006!! A lot has changed in the digital scrapbooking world in the last 6-7 years, that's for sure. I don't really scrap much these days, but scrapbooking led me to discover my love of photography

I found SSD after finding TDD and falling in love with Zoe's kit there. However by the time I found it, it was no longer the feature month so I was so upset I had missed out on it. I was so happy to discover her store and that the kit was available here. I was still really bummed that I missed the coupon code that was given during her feature month though. Haha. I don't remember how.long it took me to branch out to the other designers here though. It was a little while I think...

I started really getting into the idea of digi-scrapping in the spring of 2009. It took me a few months of internet searches (mostly freebie hunting!) to get the courage to actually try my hand at creating a page. I'm pretty sure I found SSD kind of by accident, just from my usual "digital scrapbooking" internet searches.
I do know that Melissa's "Just Chillin'" kit was the first SSD kit I ever bought and that this was the first SSD LO I ever made. *cringe*

Some of these first layouts are so cute. Mine is pretty scary. I had a brad the size of a planet on my page. I knew nothing about resizing and one of the brads in the kit was pretty big so I figured maybe it was supposed to be used that way. ROFL

Wow, most everyone has been here for a long time. I'm new here! I'm a fan of KCB and followed her blog. Thought for a while she wasn't designing anymore because I was linked to her old blog. One day I discovered that wasn't the case, and also discovered SSD. That was pretty recent (I'm a little slow, lol) so I don't even have a gallery here yet, but I'm excited to get to "know" a new shop.

I followed Eva here. I'd heard about the site before but when Eva left her previous home I decided to move here too.

Here is my first page *shutter* in July 2008 It was for a challenge here. Sweet Paula even commented on it <3 Even though it was horrible lol. Such a sweet community!!! |

I've been friends with Libby for years and years - we have a mutual paper scrapper friend and we met once when I was visiting my family back in Joplin, MO and I drove down to Rogers, AR to meet our friend and Libby drove up.
We kept in touch and when she started digi-designing (I think it was 2008?) she lured me over to this side and this site. I wasn't planning on giving up scrapping, but I sure didn't do much of it at the time. If I hadn't started digi-scrapping, I'd probably still be paper scrapping, but it would have been very seldom. As it is, I still digi-scrap like I paper-scrapped - it's hard to break my old habits. Oh, I didn't realize we were uploading layouts. This is the 2nd digi layout I ever did, with Libby's first baseball kit: Oh, and now I remember, I was ONLY going to digi-scrap the boys sports photos and paper scrap everything else, so I started with those...and I'm STILL doing sports layouts...and not paper scrapping at all.

my join date is 2/1/2007 ... but I think that is because the new forums opened that day/night. I remember staying up waiting to be able to register & join. I *think* I found SSD after ScrapMommies (Traci Reed's) site closed.
