I am new to this site and just wanted to say "hi."

My name is Michelle and I am a SAHM to 3 kids. I have been a stamper for about 11 years (stared with DD #2's birth announcements-and wow, when I look back at them are they awful! LOL). I became a SU demo 5 1/2 years ago. I always said I would "never, ever" scrapbook, but once I started to demo, I thought I better try it.

I still have a "love/hate" relationship with the scrappin'. I hate sitting down and getting started, but I love it once I get going. The books are so much fun to look at as well.

I really, really love to make cards though. Any cards. I love to share them as well, so I'll post some stuff in the gallery.

Hi Michelle! Welcome! We're so glad you popped in! Can't wait to see your cards!
I try to scrap but I'm not very good at it and it's hard! I'm more of a card person, but not very good at that either, lol!

Hi Michelle!

Welcome to the site.... I'm totally with you on the scrappin' thing.... I love making card but scrapping is much more difficult for me.

Please check out our weekly challenges - you can use the sketches for both cards and layouts.

Welcome Michelle! It's so great to meet you.

I am a scrapper first so it comes more naturally to me than making cards...but I have come to love that hobby as well. Sometimes I have a hard time mailing out what I feel is a "masterpiece" but I am working on that too!

Enjoy the site and I look forward to checking out your new gallery!

Oh, I so know what you mean. For every 20 cards I make, I *might* send 1 out. I like to make them, but I don't like to write the letter that is involved in sending them :)

Hi Michelle! So glad you stopped by. Please do share in the gallery we would all love to see!

I was a scrapper before I was a stamper but now I like both equally. I just wish I could get to scrapping a little more. It seems I'm always making a gift or a swap and don't get to my pages. It was a New years resolution last year and I gues I'll have the same one this year LOL!

Hi Michelle!

Welcome :) I am the SAME way with scrappin - that big blank page is just so scary for me and I start thinking then I think so much my head explodes and I do nothing LOL.....but once I just *do it* and get started I love it !
