Hi From Iowa

Hi everyone. I believe I joined a few weeks ago and just today made my first post. Yea!!! I have just recently starting collecting scrapbooking supplies and I find that I am very interested in learning more about scrapbooking in general. I started my creativity in Paint Shop Pro by making tags. I have sooo many tubes. I even have my own tag list. I have just recently tried to make a few scrapping tags. I think they turned out pretty good.

I don't know what else to say.

Hey there Annie, I joined a few days ago and am keeping sooooooo busy just reading everything I can. I know what you mean about tubes!!! I make my own and donate at a couple of places, but I think they are too small to use in Scrapping, but I work in vectors and may be able to up the size and re-shade if necessary. So I'll be interested in seeing your work and sharing some ideas. It's really been helpful making tags these last couple of years, but scrapping really brings it together for sharing with family, don't you think???
See you on the boards and in the galleries!!!

Hugs, Ruth

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am slowly working my way around trying to read everything. There's so much. :eek: I finally finished my first scrapbooking project. I don't think it turned out too bad. I can't wait to make more. I think I am going to have to start taking more pictures. Heck.. I just need to get a newer and better digital camera. Hopefully, in the next few months we can do that.

Yes, Ruth.. Making tags is a great start to scrapping. I never really got into it until I started seeing Scrapbook items coming through on the mailing lists that I am on. WOW.. I became so addicted. I told the DH that I needed to get some more CD-R's so I can burn my stuff to disc because I didn't realize it would take up so much room. I have been downloading like crazy.

Here's the link to my first project. Can't wait to learn from everyone on here.
