1. Did you paper scrap first or go straight to digital? How long have you been scrapping?
I started paper scrapping in 2003. I was introduced to Digital by a friend of mine in 2007. I was a little reluctant to try it but when I used the free verzion of Creative Memories Storybook Creator I wanted to learn more. I quickly converted over to the Digi side and I am so glad I did.

I am not sure what my strongest skil is I am still learnign new things everyday. My weakest would be clustering and shadowing.
