Hello from a Newbie in Illinois!!

Wow...can't even begin to tell you how overwhelming all this is for me. I have been scrapbooking since 1999, and have only started digitally last year after my son was born in March, 2009. However, in 10 years I have only used Creative Memories. I had no idea there was this whole other world out there. There are so many different designers, stores, acronyms, contests, challenges, rules, steps, etc. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting it.

I will eventually get most of my layouts added on my gallery here - again...didn't know most used here to have a larger gallery. I have just been posting in the gallery of the store I purchased the kit from. Whew...

I was able to be selected for one CT so far (Just For You Digi Scraps), and I'm trying to get set up for a couple more.

So...with all that...here I am.

I'm a devoted wife (married on 06-07-08) to a wonderful, loving man...who isn't quite sure what to make of all this scrapbook talk, but he listens and smiles. We have 3 children - our daughter is from my previous relationship (she's 13 - "pray for us"), our oldest son is 6 - he's from my husband's 1st marriage, and our baby is 1 year old (yes, we got pregnant right after the wedding).

I work full-time as an HR Project Planner for a "major insurance company". I also do photography part-time, and now digi-scrappin'. I hope to learn a lot during this process, because I need this creative outlet. I'm going to have lots of questions, and hopefully they won't seem stupid.
