Welcome to SSD! So glad you're going to playing along in the challenges with us!

Thank you Libby! I am now able to comment and make changes to my own photos. Wow! Being a real human is great!

Libby Pritchett · #**553** 02-14-2015, 12:54 PM

HA! Glad to hear it!! I just realized you're also in Kansas! Howdy neighbor!

Hi, I'm new here though I've been around the forum and shop a lot. Thought I'd start participating in the forums a bit more

Libby Pritchett · #**555** 02-17-2015, 01:38 AM

Hi there! So glad you decided to jump in and join us! I've changed your forum permissions, so feel free to make yourself at home!

Hi. I am Kate. I am from Australia.
I am a regular on other forums and going when through my stash I realised how much Sweet Shoppe stuff I have so hear I am.

Libby Pritchett · #**557** 02-23-2015, 09:41 PM

Hi Kate! So glad you decided to join us!

I"ve changed your forum permissions, so things should work a little better around here for you. You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts, but that'll go away on its own (we just have some spam filters in place). If you want to get that post count up to 10 quickly, the easiest way is simply to leave some comments in the gallery.

Welcome to Sweet Shoppe! I hope you'll hang around and make yourself at home here, too!

DeliaGos · #**558** 03-06-2015, 08:03 AM

Hi, completely new to this world, just wondering when you purchase stuff of here what program you use to build your pages?

Libby Pritchett · #**559** 03-06-2015, 12:40 PM

Hi! Welcome to SSD and digiscrapping!

There are several different programs out there for digiscrapping, but I'd say the most common would be Photoshop Elements. There is a bit of a learning curve, but there is SO much more flexibility with that program than with others on the market.

Be sure to check out our tutorial section for some great help with getting started!

And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I've changed your forum permissions now, so I *think* you should be able to start threads in the forums here (though that MAY not come til you have 10 posts - you can leave some comments in the gallery to get that number up quickly if you'd like). Everyone here is super helpful with answering questions, so just let us know if we can help you in any way!

I'm Jonyce from Crystal Lake, IL. New to the Sweet Shoppe forums, but not new to the shoppe. I'm a real person and would love to be able to join in the fun here.

ellasspace · #**561** 03-06-2015, 10:07 PM

Saying Hello, Ive jumped in some but never introduced myself ...(self proclaimed introvert here)

I love love love sweet shoppe and currently create for 3 of your fabulous designers! I'm a married SAHM to 5 from ages 27 to 9. We live in Indiana and I've created layouts digitally since 2010 with about a year and a half away due to a serious car accident that left me unable to scrap for a while...so glad to be back at it and hanging here with you all.

Welcome Janyce...fixed you up

and welcome Ella

DeliaGos · #**563** 03-07-2015, 12:52 AM

Hi, thanks for reply Libby, how is Photoshop Elements different to Photoshop? I am pretty familiar with photoshop.

Libby Pritchett · #**564** 03-07-2015, 03:07 AM

Ahhhh if you're familiar with Photoshop already, then that's what I'd stick with. Photoshop Elements is more of a consumer version of Photoshop. It's a nice starting place for someone who's never used Photoshop because it doesn't offer quite as much flexibility or as many bells & whistles as PS. For most scrappers though, PSE does everything they need to complete their pages.

I personally use Photoshop CS6. I know many other scrappers and designers also use various versions (Photoshop CC is the version that is currently available). So, it sounds like you'd be fine starting out in whatever version of Photoshop you're used to.

collettedesigns · #**565** 03-31-2015, 11:06 AM

Hi! I've been buying most of my digi kits from sweet shoppe store, so figured I may as well jump in finally and start enjoying the forums and the rest of the site!
My name is Krissy and I live in Minnesota USA- I scrap both digitally and with paper, and just can't get enough of both! Happy to be here!

Libby Pritchett · #**566** 03-31-2015, 11:09 AM

Hi Krissy! So glad you decided to jump in and join us! Just make yourself at home! I changed your permissions, so you should be able to comment in the gallery and start threads. You may still notice some weird stuff til you reach 10 posts though due to some spam filters we have in place. If you want to bump up to that magic 10 number faster, you can leave some love in the gallery!

Welcome!

lifestoryldy · #**567** 03-31-2015, 04:13 PM

Looking forward to meeting new folks and learning new things! And yes, I am a real person!

Libby Pritchett · #**568** 03-31-2015, 04:35 PM

Welcome! So glad you're joining us, too! As I said to the person above you, I've got your permissions all changed, so you should be able to make yourself at home. You may notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts, but you can leave some comments in the gallery to get that number up there quickly so that all restrictions are dropped.

stormchaser · #**569** 04-08-2015, 12:39 PM

I'm new here to the Sweet Shoppe Community. I"m really excited to see so many fantastic layouts and ideas. Ive really just recently learned how to do this digital scrapping and I am totally addicted. I love looking through the gallery and getting inspired.

Libby Pritchett · #**570** 04-08-2015, 01:04 PM

Hi and welcome! So glad you found us! Isn't digi fun!?

I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to jump in and make yourself at home! You still may notice some weird stuff til you reach 10 posts, but you can leave some love in the gallery to get your post count up quickly!

Again welcome to Sweet Shoppe! We're happy to have you!

stormchaser · #**571** 04-08-2015, 01:28 PM

I"m new here to SS. Looking forward to getting all kinds of inspiration.
I am new to digital scrapbooking, but totally addicted.

StephStrader · #**572** 04-09-2015, 03:34 PM

So excited to be here! Can't wait to get more involved in all the fun! Looks like a really great family to be part of

Libby Pritchett · #**573** 04-09-2015, 03:40 PM

Hi Steph! So glad to have you joining us! I've changed your settings, so feel free to jump in and make yourself at home. You may still notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts (we have spam filters in place). The quickest way to get that post count up is to leave some love in the gallery!

Let us know if you have any questions!

StephStrader · #**574** 04-11-2015, 12:25 AM

Turns out I CANNOT figure out how to get my avatar to show up? I can see it on my profile page, but not on any of my posts. Can anyone help? I feel like the man behind the curtain in the WIzard of Oz except I'm more like one of the Lollipop kids than I am the wizard.

Libby Pritchett · #**575** 04-11-2015, 07:35 AM

Hey Steph, I changed it for you.

I'm not sure what the deal was. It looks like you had your "profile picture" set, and that's what you were seeing on your profile page, but the avatar was showing as broken. It looked like you'd uploaded something there... was it the same image? I'm not sure if maybe your image was too big or what, but I see you now!

preppyplum · #**576** 04-24-2015, 11:33 AM

Hi! I've been out of the loop for a long time and just getting my feet wet again. Would love to be a part of the Sweet Shoppe community

Libby Pritchett · #**577** 04-24-2015, 12:06 PM

Welcome! This is a REALLY great forum. I think you'll like it. Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the boards and check out the Bingo game. It's really fun!

Libby Pritchett · #**580** 04-28-2015, 02:16 PM

Hi there! Welcome welcome! I've got your forum permissions changed.

We're so happy you've decided to join us! Let us know if you need any help with anything!

h_eid_i · #**581** 05-02-2015, 11:05 PM

Hi, I'm new and I've finally decided to participate instead of creep on the pages!!

Libby Pritchett · #**582** 05-02-2015, 11:31 PM

LOL Well, welcome! Please feel free to make yourself and home here! I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to settle in a bit. You will probably still notice some strange stuff until you have 10 posts. That's an automatic spam filter that we have in place. If you'd like to reach that 10 posts quickly, you can just leave some comments in the gallery!

khakisack · #**583** 05-03-2015, 02:02 PM

I'm new here too and not able to leave comments in the gallery. I'm trying to finish the 20 questions for NSD and got stuck! Thanks!

Libby Pritchett · #**584** 05-03-2015, 02:17 PM

Got you fixed up! You should be able to comment now! So glad you decided to join us! Welcome welcome!

NotAVampLvr · #**585** 05-13-2015, 07:49 PM

I've been away from the Digital Scrapbook community for a couple years. So much has changed! I was so glad to discover that Sweet Shoppe is still here and the same as I remember! The other forums I frequented have all but disappeared. Looking forward to getting back to the business of scrapping!

ashaw · #**586** 05-13-2015, 09:04 PM

Welcome back!

Libby Pritchett · #**587** 05-13-2015, 10:26 PM

Welcome back! Glad you're here with us!

Denyse · #**588** 05-18-2015, 08:59 AM

Hey there!

I tried digi a couple of years ago, but gave up when I realized just how bad my pages were! Now I'm really committed to improving and sticking with it. I've been spending tons of money on the amazing product in the store and am (finally) ready to join in on the forum fun!

I'd love to be able to comment on the great gallery projects. And I am super excited to give the Bingo challenges a try.

ashaw · #**589** 05-18-2015, 09:06 AM

Welcome back Denyse! We all start somewhere, I'm happy you're sticking with it! There are so many helpful ladies here too!

Gotcha fixed up

Hope you enjoy the challenges!

Libby Pritchett · #**591** 05-18-2015, 09:46 AM

Welcome Denyse! So glad you decided to give it a shot again! We're super happy to have you here!

I see Meg got your permissions changed for you, but I also wanted to mention that you may still notice some weird stuff in the forum until you reach 10 posts. We have some spam filters in place, but they'll go away on their own once your each that magic number of posts. The quickest way to get to that level is just to leave some love in the gallery (which you are now able to do!)

Again, welcome! Please make yourself at home!

klee73010 · #**592** 05-28-2015, 03:36 PM

Hello everyone! I have been lurking here awhile, and may have posted in some places. Uploaded my first gallery pic today, but wanted to say hi, officially.

Libby Pritchett · #**593** 05-28-2015, 03:41 PM

Hi Kristina! So glad to have you joining us! I've changed your forum permissions, so you should be able to jump in and make yourself at home! You may notice some weird stuff until you reach 10 posts. That's just due to some spam filters we have in place. Once you reach 10 posts, everything should resolve on its own. The quickest way to get those posts is just to go leave some praise in the gallery!

Again, welcome to SSD!

I use tapatalk app often, so I find it's the easiest way to jump in. I'm on my way to find out what kind of challenges I can get myself into! Lol

Hello everyone!! I'm Kim and I'm a newbie to Sweet Shoppe but not to scrapping. I've been a paper scrapper forever (well almost) and have just moved to digital scrapping now that my oldest is in kindy (moving on to first grade next year). I'm working on his kindy book and doing a mixture of pocket scrapping and more traditional layouts. I've been spending all of my time and extra $$ downloading awesome kits and I've been enjoying looking at all of the inspiration pics. Nice to meet you!
