Learning something new to waste my time on

I've never understood why people scrapbook. I tried it briefly, and was just overwhelmed and annoyed by the cost, the mess and how much time it took. Plus, I wasn't very good at it. I discovered digital scrapbooking and thought it was a much smarter way to scrapbook, but I still wasn't very good at it and there weren't a lot of printing options at the time.

But, now, with some patient tutorials from Kristie and lots of free scrapbooking downloads from various blogs and scrapbooking sites, I'm starting to get it! Want to see my first attempt? (click to see it bigger)
