More Scrappin'

So - I'm not a pro yet, but I am enjoying this fun program!!Building pages like crazy over here - feeling like MAYBE I am working on getting caught up AND even considering holding a class on it - way too fun!

TROUBLE with a capital "T"

So you know I design blogs, you know I scrapbook, but have I ever combined scrapbooking AND designing digitally??? NO - not until now and we might be in trouble!  I just got my Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus yesterday - and off I went.  All I can say is "oh dear, oh dear, oh dear."  NOW I may REALLY never leave my laptop!  This wonderful program has the ability of Photoshop and other high-end software, but the ease of many other programs I have used - it is SO easy to use.  I know - I have all these paper scrapbooking supplies - I can hear Joe now - BUT I am thinking what if I started 2009 and forward digital!?!??  Hmmm - might have to think on that.  I will show you my two FIRST creations!

 

 

The wheels are spinning - my mind is a-flurry.  Joe just better go on more business trips - look how productive I am!!! 
(Now for my shameless self-promotion - if you don't have a Creative Memories consultant and would like to order this wonderful program - feel free to email me - I am a consultant (should I even admit that since I am JUST NOW using this program!?!?) and I would love to help you order it if you'd like to get started!)

Scrapbooking, Anyone?

I have always loved scrapbooking - you know, the old fashioned way, but I recently went to a class on using Photoshop Elements and thought to myself, "This looks fun too!" So I have found some fun things that you might enjoy too!

A great scrapbooking magazine - Digital Scrapbooking - comes in the mail or as a PDF. (Thinking I may have to ask for this one for Christmas!!)

A GREAT book that guides you through using Photoshop Elements to build your pages - an all-around GREAT Elements and digital scrapbooking guide. (Small disclaimer here - if you click on this banner to order - I get a small kickback!)

AND - there are MANY great sites out there that have FREE kits available - you don't have to spend lots of money either. (These digital kit websites can be found on my blog building blog - Lady in Waiting Blog Designs.) I started using them to build blogs, but think I'll try my hand at building some scrapbook pages too! Now Joe informs me I CAN'T go to all digital - I have TOO many supplies to do physical albums to leave them all behind - hmmm, I'll have to keep thinking of how to convince him!!! :)
