Layout: What do you do?

This is the layout I completed last night. I love these photos taken on our holiday to the sunshine coast in september 2006. My son picked an ice-cream flavour called strawberry shortcake... but then as sometimes happens.... he didn't like it... so his solution was simple... share with his sister. Luckily she didn't mind! I thought I'd try a technique for hidden journalling that allows you to open the journalling box despite the rest of the layout being inside your page protector. Here I've used the smallest photo as the 'book cover' for my journalling. This section is raised off the layout via magnets that allow this photo to be on the outside of the page protector. This is a really cheap layout with the magnet costing $2 for a set of 6 (pairs), my chipboard letters (share) and arrow are off the back of old notebooks and the "bling" comes in a packet of 50 pieces for $2 and the larger blue bling flower is off my daughters/ hairclip... so all tha...

Off the Page Project - Suitcase

Free digital scrapbooking supplies

In my never ending quest to save money on my scrapbooking I've been wanting to start digital scrapbooking. Well I'm happy to say I now have a laptop... yeah.... don't ask me any nerd questions about it... it's a laptop, it works.... it's new.... that's all I know... Now the really hard part starts.... I have to learn how to digi-scrap..... I have a program on my laptop that will apparently do this... but I don't know anything about it... so it'll be a while before I'm completing layouts worthy of being posted. On a brighter note I found an excellent resource site where you can download some backgrounds, brushes and embellishments. http://www.mistypink.net/ They look totally original to me and I think rather pretty. See what you think.. Let me know!
