Hello Peas! I am one of the last people on earth to get started with Instagram. I actually made a false start at it a couple of years ago but got derailed. I'm trying again now. Most of the people I have found to follow so far are my real-life friends, my freelance writing colleagues and some of my craft website readers. I am hoping to find more "scrappy" friends and people who post paper crafts -- layouts, mini albums, cards, planner layouts, "junk" journals (I hate calling them that!) etc. I don't have all that many photos posted yet, but I am planning to share pics of scrapbooking layouts, mini albums, crochet projects, planner layouts and the occasional card. I also enjoy posting gratuitous cute cat pictures. My top-priority project right now is making scrapbook albums to document the 5+ years my husband and I lived aboard sailboats and went cruising. A couple of days ago, I just posted the story of our first disastrous but life-defining solo trip to Anacapa Island: http://instagram.com/p/CmMiGiwLndi And here's my main profile link: www.instagram.com/amysolovay/Please share your IG link if you want me to follow you (especially if your profile is private, because I am really shy about requesting to follow private accounts where I don't know the owner well). And also, PLEASE share links to the accounts that really inspire you! I am finding IG a bit overwhelming, and I'd love to know where the best inspiration is. Thanks in advance to everyone who posts in this thread. I really appreciate your contributions. |

I can't see your account. I know I was following it at some point. Is it set to private? |

Did I miss anybody?? I think maybe I did, and that isn't my intention -- so I will be back in a little bit to check.

You read my mind! Last week I wanted to ask everyone to share their accounts for sharing scrappy goodness. Thanks for doing this! Here is my most recent post: http://instagram.com/p/CmWVxEQOcgY Now I am off to add everyone else who I am not currently following. 😊 Edit: Everyone has been added. Yay! |

Thanks for starting this. I don't have anyone I love who is not already listed except Amanda Zampelli. But I don't know if that's her instagram name still or not.

It is a photo/video based social media app. |

It is a photo/video based social media app. Can try or see it without signing up for it? Yes, you can, but it's kind of a pain in the neck; I'm not sure it's worth the effort. They only give you little glimpses before they attempt to get you to log in. I don't use the mobile app (because I am the only person left on earth who doesn't carry a mobile phone). My understanding of the situation is that, in the past, you couldn't access Instagram without using the app unless you used a browser called Vivaldi that had set up workarounds so people could access it using a desktop / laptop computer. I read somewhere that they now allow desktop users access, but I still use Vivaldi, so I am not sure of all the details on other ways to gain access. |
