Intro =)

Does it matter that I'm not from the UK? I'm a South African, living in Brazil. I have done digital graphic art for years, but am new to the digital scrapbooking world and even newer to the paper scrapping world. The selection here in Brazil, from what I have seen so far, isn't quite as big as overseas, but I am now the proud owner of some cardstock, paper, a piece of chalk (which is looking like its the wrong product anyway), a pile of ribbon, some brads... I'm ready to go! Now I just need a project. Trouble is, I'm a fanatical photographer and have far too many photos to choose from

I have been playing around with RoboMaster, trying to make cuttable files for my friends in the paper scrapping world. Its a huge learning curve

I have learnt that creating graphics is not the same as creating something Craftrobo or Wishblade can cut, but I'll get there

Hello Tint and welcome to UK Scrappers. All are welcomed here and you'll find there's a few South Africans here as well as from all over.

Lots of photos equals more choice it's the choosing that's the hardest part

Hi, welcome to UKS

I'm not in the UK either...will be great to have someone else online at silly times of the day, I'm usually on my own

Thank you soooo much for the welcome!

Gillian, I have been through agonies trying to choose (more a case of prioritise) photos with digi scrapping. I think paper scrapping will be the death of me. Trouble is, each photo I look at has a story and I have a very short attention span

Arianwen (is that your real name? Its gorgeous!), I can't believe I'm meeting someone in Malaysia! The internet never ceases to amaze me. I'm up very late every night, so our time zones will probably cross over.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all =)

Gosh, I'm overwhelmed at the welcome

Thank you everyone!!

Wanda, with a surname like that, I'd never have guessed you were from SA

I meant to reply to this post earlier today, but I got sidetracked flipping through the gallery. I'm truly in awe! The scraps are amazing. There's so much talent in here. I hope some of it rubs off at some point
