Going Digital. I think I'm getting the hang of it!

I am really loving this digital scrapbooking stuff! But I still havn't decided if I am ever going to actually print out any of these layouts. Not sure how much it will end up costing if I only put one or two pictures per layout.



















This layout was done with a free downloaded kit from the coolest website: shabbyprincess.com. You can get lots of free downloads here: http://www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads.asp

p.s. Photo is of my younger sister and my daughter at the Alaska State Fair in the petting zoo.

2 Sketches 4 You

This is my first time doing a Sketch Challenge, so tell me what you think please... but I'm afraid I missed the cutoff and won't be included in the challenge. Oh well, there's always next time.

Notebooks

I taught my Activity Day Girls how to make these notebooks for our activity this week. I bought the ruled notepads at Wal-Mart. I love back-to- school season... everything is on sale! I paid $2.17 for a 5 pack of these 8x5 notebooks.

I made the covers out of that extra lightweight cardboard we have instead of throwing it out. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. I'm all about it now.

My First Digital Pages

This was my first digital scrapbook page, but really its a hybrid because I made the page first, took a picture of it, then edited it with the journaling and pictures in digital scrapbook software. I don't think it really counts as a digital page.


















This page really was my "first" digi page. I used Adobe, which I don't know ANYTHING about and mixed a couple free kits that I downloaded from the internet.

Got some awesome downloads from this site http://freedigitalscrapbooking.com/clubmembersonly.html
Still not sure if it's better digitally or not...certainly faster.

Let me know what you think!?

Other Boxes

The Green Box

Pretty Boxes

I have suddenly become obsessed with making these adorable tiny boxes! I have made like 9 of them in a week! Well, I actually made 6 in one night as a handout for the cute girls in my Activity Days Group (church group) after we visited the Anchorage Recycling Center. (sadly i forgot to take pictures of those ones!)

And now you ask..."What do those boxes have to do with recycling?"

Well I made them from the cardboard boxes that your bulk snacks come in. Such as granola bars, fruit snacks and oatmeal packets that come from Sams Club or Costco. It isn't like actual corrugated cardboard, it's more like chipboard, and it's not as flimsy as cereal box material.

This one's my fav! I love the huge pearl heart button!

I have to give proper credit, I learned how to make these from here:http://sbl.tvweekly.com/player.php?9c9b63491b3831d25c89c7c55f50d188x443
