Scrapbooking Made Simple

So here is another free digital element I promised you. There is one more coming!  I just love a FREEBIE... hope you do to! http://www.mymemories.com/store/share_the_memories_kit_2 This Freebie is MyMemories Suite Compatible.  What does that mean??? It means that you can now load the freebie directly into your MyMemories Suite Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have. If you don't have MyMemories Suite Software you can still download it but you won't be able to customize it. TIP: Remember to set your margins as small as possible on your printer to get the best size book possible!!! NOTE: Each Freebie has a different page layout, but contains a total of 6 pages for your book. Your finished book will hae 3 double sided pages when printed. TIP: You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing....

Here are some more pages I did with a free digit kit from Shabby Princess ( www.shabbyprincess.com ). These photos are of my son's 6th Birthday which was held at a park and the highlight of the event was riding Pop's Steam Train. I now do my scrapbooking in three categories. There's the digi scrap of individual photos for creative sake when I don't have time to get out all my supplies. Then the traditional scrapbooking I do which allows me to use all of my creativity and then I do some dig scrap pages of the highlights of the year so I can print these as a little book of their own. I printed one of these books and gave it to the kids grandfather for Christmas so he had an album of the kids entire year of growth and adventure. These birthday photo layouts are going into the digi album. They're quick and easy to do and allow me to fit alot of photos in as I can easily resize and crop the photos. Well I'd better go hang my washing out as we've finally got a ...

Here is the layout I created of our first day at the lagoon this season(Redcliffe City Free Swimming facility). I went with a digital layout in this case as I loved these papers and embellishments for these photos. (I'm still searching for the info on where I got these from, will let you know). We were joined by DD and DS's cousins. I thought this was a lovely bright fresh way to showcase these photos. So far this layout hasn't cost a cent. The kit was free, the photos were digital so the only cost will come in when I print the page. I have found a place that will print all my layouts as a bound book of 20 pages for $50.00Au. Which works out to a cost of $2.50 per page which is actually very good when you consider that I would of spent $1.00 in printing the photos alone. Then consider the cost of your albums and page protectors. Or I can print the layout myself on my home printer. The cost of that is a little difficult to work out though as it will depend on how many page...

Well if you're travelling on this digiscrap journey with me you'll be as excited as I was to find this site: http://www.scrapwow.com/ . I was really impressed with the size of the free kit. It has lots of useful papers and embellishments. So on Friday Night I did some scrapbooking at my girlfirend's house. It was GREAT! I got lots done. My favourite is this one. (The title is: Other things may CHANGE us but we start and end with FAMILY.) The only problem I have now is that at my heart I'm a "hands on" scrapper so when I used this background paper I fell in love with it and now want a piece of it for real! I have gone back to using the Scrapbook Max program as I felt it allowed me alot more creative freedom with my backgrounds. But don't take my word on that, try them both for yourself and see what you think.
