Hi, can I join in?!

Well, after reading this thread, it has finally inspired me to START scrapping! DH bought me a scrapbook kit for beginners for Christmas, and a few packs of 'themes' with stickers, embellishments etc..and all year, I've been 'trying' to pluck up the courage to start, ALL YEAR..LOL...but found myself a bit SCARED and confused by it all! The magazine layouts are fantastic, but are also a bit scary for a little old beginner like me..I was thinking "There is NO way I could do that'!
So, I've changed my way of thinking, and now think 'I have to crawl before I walk' so to speak. So, using the packs of stickers etc and the papers that were included..I have now done TWO pages already..yay! They are VERY basic, and I haven't finished yet..still have to journal the pages, and I'm not exactly quite sure how or what to do there yet....but I feel so motivated now and just want to keep going..I was up till midnight last night doing some 'research' on the net!!
With the journalling, I'm a bit lost as to what to do it ON...do you just use cardstock, bits of paper etc..?? Don't laugh, please!!
