Digital Pages

Here is my first attempt at doing a digital scrapbook page. I have letters and embellishments that I wanted to use on the page but I couldn't figure out how to get them on there without having a square around them. So anyone who knows how to do that I would really appreciate a little advice.

All the papers, embellishments, letters etc were free from Shabby Princess.

You can also find cute free kits here, here and here.

Here is my second layout. I am doing a scrap booking challenge

that gives a new assignment each week. This weeks was to make a page

with one black and white photo.

The kids and I have been getting quite a bit of schoolwork done this week.

Their WAVA teacher called today for one of our conference calls.

Devon is meeting her goals in every subject! Woot! Woot!

I really need to buckle down though and record their work as soon

as they complete it instead of waiting for the weekend.

Many moons ago I had a hobby. That hobby was scrap booking. After having many children I decided that it took too much effort to get all my stuff out, fend off the sticky fingers and not get any pages finished. So I gave some stuff away and put the rest in my closet. (Also known as the ‘Land of No Return.’ Hey, plenty of good shoes have entered that room never to be seen again.)

Lately though, the scrap booking bug has infected me again. Only the world of pretty papers has changed so much. There are now brads, buttons, ribbons, yarn (oh, excuse me, I meant fibers) die cutting machines, wires, eyelets and on and on. I don’t even know what to do with half that stuff.

Lucky for me there are scrap booking stores near me that give excellent classes. One in particular is called ‘Cindy’s Simple Stuff.’ Every Saturday she has something called the Dollar Demos. You just go down to her store, toss your dollar in the pot and learn a new technique.

So here is the first page I have done in years. Its pretty basic but I really like it. Doesn’t Payton look so cute?
