Hi, I'm new!
I'm new to this forum, so I wanted to say hello!
I'm Maja, 38, from Germany. I live on Rügen very close to the ocean, am happily married and have four kids- two girls (10 and 8) and two boys (5 and 3). I started as a paper scrapper in 2008, and quickly encountered a serious storage problem- I'm a total hoarder and tend to pile up stuff. Digital scrapbooking was the perfect solution for me. I'm still hoarding, but now I'm just cramming my laptop and not my house, which is quite okay for me  . And: I love the excessive clustering without worrying about wasting too much stuff!I use Gimp for my layouts and after months of figuring everything out, I can't imagine changing that- I LOVE MY GIMP!!! I also love challenges- I'm a total challenge-addict! What's special (and it might be a little disturbing, I apologize) about my layouts is that I'm HEAVILY (yeah, in capital letters) into the US-procedural "The Mentalist" and sprap LOTS OF PICS from the show- especially in winter, when it's quiet in my family and my husband (who's the photographer in our bunch) doesn't take that many pics, but there's so much happening in my series... that's when my layouts BURST from Mentalistelated stuff. Just disregard the pics, please- I know it's a little... WEIRD  .I also do a Project Life Diary- the 365+ kind, so I do a layout every night. And I have a weight loss diary (scrapped, of course  )... I lost 10 kg so far, but I'll be on it all year (at least), so this will be a work in progress. I have a scrapbooking-blog, but I only put all my layouts up there and write personal stuff, so it's not super-interesting- it's more like a diary.If I don't scrap, I'm either out and about with my kids or writing. English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse all the mistakes that will no doubt show up all the time! I'm glad I found you and can't wait to meet you all!!! And do some challenges, of course ;D...

Hi Maja, welcome to SSD! I like your name--so pretty!
 Hee, don't talk to me about being invested heavily into a single thing--if left alone, I'm sure I would scrap tons and tons and tons of layouts with my own current love, Korean pop music. So all I can say is, to each her own YAY to you for being able to do a layout every night!!! Work has seriously slowed down my pace, but even at my best I couldn't do your pace And woohooooo!!! YAY for your weight loss!

Hi Maja. Nice to meet you. I have photoshop elements on my laptop and had a very old version of photoshop on my computer, that I lost with a virus about a year ago. Now, my husband is trying to get me to use GIMP, and I am always frustrated. Hope I can get it figured out.
