Hi Everyone. I'm Kathy ... but my digital scrapping internet alias is LotsaLahti.

I'm new to Hummie's World. As I become familar with the forum, can you share with me where's your favorite place to browse here in the forum?

I've been digital scapping for several years. I don't allot a lot of time for it, so I's say my skill level is moderate. Funny to think back to that first page and the hours spent learning to make a shadow ... now there are scripts that do it for you with a double click.

I use Elements. I really want to justify the expense of the upgrade to Photoshop, but haven't been able to do that just yet. Maybe one day. lol

Welcome to Hummie's World! You'll find lots of resources here and friendly company to keep. My favorite places to browse are classes (design class mostly since I'm taking that one.) Also, I love the chat threads.

Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you better and seeing your layouts

Hi Kathy and welcome. It is nice to meet you and you seem so certainly nice.

I never want to come across pushing the paid area, but that's where all the "good stuff" really is with the videos and inspiration for layouts through challenge classes.

Of course, I'm all over the forum and always anxious for people to make it their open and create new threads with great resources as I need to be enabled too.

If you go to the activities & challenges area of the forum, since we now have a few designers, this is where you will find the challenges with prizes for doing the challenges. It would be a great place for you to start so we can see some of your layouts and get to know you through your layouts. These are done by the designers here and open to anyone and you can use any products.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. There's so much to become familiar with around here. I'm going to browse. I'll check back with any questions or comments I have. Have a great weekend!

It's meant to keep you coming back for a long time with all the good stuff to keep you interested.
