Snowflakes Landing on my Tongue

I love these pictures of Bailey. They were taken during the winter of 2006, while we still lived at our old apartment. The pictures show a whimsical side to Bailey, he is usually quite serious.

Awhile ago, I bought a book from "Autumn Leaves" called 'Designing with Digital.' Not only is it an idea book, but it came with an elements CD. So tonight, I was playing with the CD & reading the information. I decided to try out some of their tips in PSE5.

The snowflakes are using the 'overlay' setting. It was a pain as I had to re-size each one. But I think they add a little something extra.

Another DigiScrappin' Page

I am in love with the convenience of digiscrappin' !!! I can plop down in front of the TV with Gabe & get busy making pages. I wanted to include another page. This page is to commemorate the day I made tie dye t-shirts with Melayna's older sisters, McKenzie & Mikaela. We had ALOT of fun...

Let's take a look....

So, I'm still new to the digiscrappin' but before I get busy I wanted to share a couple more pages before I get busy creating or chores..... Now keep in mind, I'm beginnin'....
This is freebies from Two Peas in a Bucket. I love this picture of Bree - Bree.

From Scrapbooks etc., you can download Quick Collage templates that you basically drag & drop pictures and their elements. I would suggest that you spend some time with the instructions from 'The Shabby Shoppe' first. I think you need a good understanding of the basics before you attempt the templates. Although they do have a nice instructional video and written instructions. I have to admit that I attempted the collages before I knew what I was doing. It was frustrating but once I figured it out, I was psyched. This is Melayna. Isn't she precious? She is my daytime baby....

Here is the link to the templates, layouts & instructional video: http://www.scrapbooksetc.com/quick-collage/quick-collage-100-series_ss1.html

Again, let me know if you have questions.

Intro to Digital Scrapbooking

OK, I'll admit it. I am a scrapbook collector. I love to buy stuff for the pages I plan to scrapbook, but I never seem to have the opportunity to sit down & do it. Then one day while reading the blog of the infamous Emily Giovanni, I came across a digital scrapbooking page. Of course, Emily is extremely talented but I decided to search the web to see what I could find.

I found the best website with an awesome tutorial. It's at The Shabby Shoppe. The tutorials are excellently written. Also they provide the papers & embellishments for starting I strongly suggest that you download the freebie & work along with the video tutorial. The video lesson has great tips & tricks for effectively using the tools provided...

I'm adding my first page with the freebies provided. Now, don't laugh, I'm just beginning.This is the link for the tutorials: http://www.theshabbyshoppe.com/tutorials/software_tutorials.asp

Once you finished your first page & helplessy addicted to the ease of digi-scrappin' you'll want to collect more scrapbook packs. I'd personally download the freebies. At Two Peas in a Bucket, they have a ton of digital freebies to download & play with. They also have a nice collection of free fonts. OOOOhhhh... Fonts. I love fonts. We'll do a font tutorial soon...

For a nice selection of digital freebies go to this link: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/list/?f=506_c_2&c=24

If you're having troubles let me know. I'd love to see your work.....
