Bio: I am a reverse learner. I have what look like scrapbooks from when I was a kid, full of ticket stubs, scratch and sniff stickers and my own photographs. 1 learned film and slide photography and first tried out a darkroom when I was 10, and got into the camera club by taking a photograph in the schoolyard using an apple juice carton that I converted to a pinhole camera. In university I discovered Photoshop and skipped stats class so I could teach myself. I dabbled in web design before it got complicated and self-taught myself print design when I figured out I could save the charity I was working for money (I think I secretly wanted a raise)! Only in 2003 did I discover paper scrapbooking--and I wasn't really hooked until in January of this year I caught on here that I could mix that with my digital and photography skills and digiscrap. Who knew! My favourite part of any form of scrapbooking is journaling--there really should be more of it out there ;-)
