Aussie Scrapbooker!

Hey guys!!

My name is Deborah Daldy, DJ for short (as my full name is Deborah Joy)and I live down under in Sydney Australia, born and raised. Yes, every house here comes complete with their own kangaroo and huntsman spider. Hahahaha. But...I HATE VEGEMITE, so my authenticity as a REAL Aussie is always in question.

I have been scrapbooking since 2000, and I love it. I love the "escape from reality" that scrapbooking gives me. A time where I can forget the rest of the world for a few hours and let my creativity run free. As a mother of two special needs kids, my time for scrapbooking these is minimal, but I find that working digitally really works for my time management, or lack of it. That, and the bonus of being able to create your own supplies that you can use over and over again repeatedly.

Up till now, I have been prepared to spend money on digital scrapbooking kits, but really like the idea of being able to create my own, so I am on the hunt for tips/tutorials on how to get started creating my own scrapbooking elements, papers etc.

Anyways...looking forward to meeting you guys online and learning lots from you all.

I am a mom of 2 special needs kids too! (One with autism and one I adopted with severe PTSD/ADHD/ODD. Nice to meet you.

Welcome DJ! Let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome DJ from a fellow Aussie who also does not like Vegemite.
I have been digi scrapping since 2008 and the following year started to dabble in designing which I still do at times. You will find lots of help in the forum here at DigitalScrapbook.com.
Make sure you have a good look through the tutorials HERE as I am sure there will some there that will be helpful for you.

Hiya, Iā€™m another Scrapper / designer from Australia... who does not like vegemite šŸ˜„
Good to meet you Deborah, Kris and Anne-Marie.

Hi DJ,

I am also in NSW!! Out in the country where we do have kangaroos and huntsman! At the moment we have rats and mice which is terrible. I can not believe you hate vegemite!! Are you sure your aussie?!!?

HI DJ! Another Aussie here, I grew up in Sydney, but now live in the country too!
Love vegemite, are you sure you're ok? LOL!

Don't miss Sydney much these days, but my family is still there.
I digi scrap, but also i do traditional scrapping, but really it is project life - with a view to do some traditional pages and I am making my own project life cards.

Hahaha!!! Jo maybe we need to check on DJ. Not many Aussies don't love vegemite in some form! A friend of mine said she eats a teaspoon while waiting for her toast to cook! I am not that keen but I do love it on bread or toast with butter!!

Girls... how could you not like vegemite smiley

My sister lives in Stettler, Canada and has been there since 1980. When she comes home for a visit she takes enough vegemite and milo back with her until her next visit. The first thing she eats when she lands is a meat pie with sauce.

Welcome, can't wait to see your creativity!
