I'm new here and would love to introduce you all to Scrap Buddha, my digi scrap blog. (&lt;A href="http://scrapbuddha.blogspot.com"&gt;http://scrapbuddha.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;)  I'm a stay-at-home mom of two in Arvada, CO.  I run a marketing consulting business, too, but I wouldn't say it takes up a lot of my time.  I'm totally addicted to digi scrapping and have been creating my own elements for a while.  Thought I'd take a shot at sharing them to see if anyone else likes them as much as I do.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've been visiting digiscrapdepot for a while and it was the first place I thought of when I thought I might like to try this out.  I'm so excited to be here!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;KP</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:59:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>kathpatt</dc:creator></item><item><title>Introducing myself</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic2192-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hi, my name is Teri.

I first started paper scrapping but I made so many mistakes that I gave up on that thing.&lt;BR&gt;And when I saw something about digiscrapping I start trying that and I loved it and got addicted to it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I have made some Lay Outs and mostly I'm not using a template but when I did I loved it and found it very nice to do. So that is why I started to make my own templates and decided to share them on the internet with everyone who wants to use them.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So you can find some on my site&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://esthersdesign.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://esthersdesign.blogspot.com/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also uploaded 2 of them on this freebies page over here, but I am not seeing them anywhere here...so I have to find out where they are and why I don't see them overhere...&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:59:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>EBDW</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi Everyone</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic2169-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hi, my name is Corine Papier, from Canada.

So far, I'm having lots of fun with it.

I have been visiting your site for a little while now and just recently started adding things to the gallery. I just wanted to say hi and ask for a favor. I hope this is appropriate but, could some of you more experienced designers take a look at some of my entries? There are 1 or two that aren't the best quality because I hadn't figured out the way to optimize output... but the others are a little better. I am the kind of person that likes to do the very best that I can at what I do, and the only way I know how to improve is to hear some feed back. Thanks girls. Nice to meet ya.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stacey.</description><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:18:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>joahsmom</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi!</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic2042-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hi!

My files are high quality jpg or png format, depending on transparency needs. You use them to create digital scrapbook layouts on your computer with graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro. There are several other programs they will work in as well, but these three are the most powerful and common ones. I hope you like what I have to offer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I am 41 yrs old and very happily taken with a wonderful man (Roger) of 11 years now.

I'm a digi scrap addict and have started designing and sharing my own stuff as a way to pay back all the wonderful designers out there who have shared their creations with me.  I love to learn and so learning &amp;amp; digi scrapping combined is a very powerful obsession with me:D&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not really sure what you want to know about me, so I'll just give the basics, I'm happily married &amp;amp; have celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary this year.  We do not have any children but we do have 2 michevious creatures who keep us hopping...a golden lab who's my baby and a psycho kittie who hates me but love my husband lol...and they are both spoiled rotten...both are rescues, and are loved to bits.  I'm American but have been living in Scotland for the last 13 years and just adore it here. I'm very blessed and go home to visit family and friends at least once a year but often more than once...and with the internet, web cams and international phone calls, it doesn't feel like we are all so far apart.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, I'm trying to make sure I follow the rules here, so if I do something wrong, please can you let me know, as it will not have been done intentionally.  I've got some cu freebies on my blog (which I'm still fairly new to using also :w00t:) as well as one personal use freebie on there and I'll be adding more goodies this week.  The url is &lt;A href="http://sassypumpkinsdesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://sassypumpkinsdesigns.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt; and I hope the goodies are something you'll find useful.  I'd really love to hear your opinions on the things I share, as it's the only way I can grow and get better at designing...as well as finding out just what everyone likes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now I know I'm supposed to share a freebie here too, but I haven't yet worked out where to do that , so if someone could let me know I'd be very grateful as I've got a cu freebie I'd be happy to share with you all once I know where it's supposed to go.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Well, that's all I can think of to tell you, if you want to know more about me, you'll just have to ask :hehe:  I look forward to meeting you all and participating with the group.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Happy Digi Scrapping&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sassy xx </description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:30:18 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SassyPumpkins</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi!</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic2027-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone newbie here&lt;br&gt;Im julie mum of 2 boys an dfrom the uk&lt;br&gt;I am a PSP and scrap addict and its lovely to be here x</description><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:16:06 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>julieh</dc:creator></item><item><title>hi</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic2001-33-1.aspx</link><description>hi all, im new here.I have just started designing digiscrap stuff, I am VERY new to it and only just made my first alpha LOL.

What an awesome resource!  It looks a great group of talented people.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My name is Chiara and I'm a SAHM to 2 boys (ages 9 &amp;amp; 7) and married to my college sweetheart for 13 years.  I've been scrapping for as long as I can remember but really got serious after my first son was born.  I switched to digi-scrapping about 18+months ago and fell in love.  The neat-freak in me loves the lack of paperscraps around!  I'm not sure it's any faster since I still obsess about each layout but that's ok.  I enjoy the process and that's what counts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I started dabbling in design earlier this year but put it away.  I picked it back up about a month ago and haven't looked back.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for having me here!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Chiara&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Creative Digital Scraps by Chiara&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://creativedigitalscraps.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://creativedigitalscraps.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:03:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ChiaraA</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hello from eastern Canada!!!!</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic1927-33-1.aspx</link><description>hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;im new on this site and im from NB Canada.... anyone else here from NB?</description><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:34:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>BnKmom</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi From Down under</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic1926-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone, &lt;br&gt;Mozz from down under in Australia..&lt;br&gt;Mother to a couple of grown girls, recently one of them made me a very proud nana..&lt;br&gt;Owned by a furry feline, partner of a "Human Angel" ..&lt;br&gt;Love art, and scrap booking which I have been doing for some time,..&lt;br&gt;I enjoy digi scrapping as it allows me to do all the things I enjoy the most, without the mess lol&lt;br&gt;While I never really use them myself I love making QPs..&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:38:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Mozz</dc:creator></item><item><title>New Designer</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic1916-33-1.aspx</link><description>I have been adding my freebies here for quite awhile.

So when she got married, she deserved to receive a scrapbook, too, and I decided to give it a go. Well, she got married in February, and by now I have made quite a bunch of LOs, I am a member of 4 scrapforums (5, including Digichick) and a CT member of 2 of them. How's that for an addiction???&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I will be placing some LOs in the gallery, later on, but you can also see most of my work at &lt;A href="http://www.jiskefet.tk/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#c0a385&gt;www.jiskefet.tk&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;.....which brings me to my nickname :Whistling:&lt;BR&gt;My website shows my LOs, but a substantial part of it is dedicated to my cats, and Jiskefet was my very special one, the cat of a lifetime, my feline soulmate. His name means dustbin in Frisian, and he earned it! He would stand up on his hind legs and start eating as soon as he could reach the food bowl, and by the time I placed it on the floor, it would be nearly empty. He died young, but he lives on in my internet identity on cat forums as well as scrap forums, and he often features in my LOs.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!-- / message --&gt;&lt;!-- sig --&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:03:52 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jiskefet</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hey From AK..</title><link>http://beta.digiscrapdepot.com/forum/Topic1874-33-1.aspx</link><description>Hey everyone...
