Tumble Bums...

Layton was so cute at his year end Tumbling Performance.

I was really proud that he went out and did his best, he is normally so shy that it was s big deal for him to do it. I am really sad that I didn't get a picture with Miss Joann though. Guess we'll get it next year! :)

Scrapbooking Panic...

I have been so busy with my business, and I have really neglected scrapbooking. There always seems to be something more important to do...

Anyway, I am in a panic that I am scrapbooking January of this year, and it is almost January again. I don't have the best memory and it is super hard for me to remember the reason for taking the pictures, and the story behind them.

So, being more than a year behind is just to much for my poor brain to take! :) I have been trying my hardest to get these done, it really wasn't too long ago that I was up to the day, caught up, so this is a really sad situation for me :(

I scrapbook probably 75% paper/ 25% digital. Only one more paper layout and January is complete. Hooray!!!

But, here are a few digital layout that I have been working on for January 2010 :)

woah...

I actually did a couple digital scrapbook pages. (and perhaps set a record by taking, editing, and scrapbooking these photos all in the same day, before 3 pm might I add!!!)

Can anyone tell what I have been doing today?

a few more pages...

... slowly catching up :)

$1.99 scrapbook pages. WHAT?!

I wanted to share the company that I have print my digital scrapbook pages, it is $1.99 per 12x12 page! That is CRAZY, people, plus tomorrow and monday they are doing %25 off of all prints.
Don't walk, run over to http://www.scrappingsimply.com/ even with my wholesale account at my professional lab this is MUCH cheaper.
Just wanted to share for those of you needed to print your pages!

Also, I did these layouts today...

Scrapbooking Stats...

A few people have asked about what programs I use to scrapbook digitaly.

I use Photoshop CS4, I think it is probably overkill. I just use it because that is what I use with my photography business. I think Photoshop elements would probably be just as great (and a TON cheaper) to scrapbook with.

I buy kits, alphas, templates, etc... from http://ggdigitaldesigns.com/ and http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/ mainly, occasionally from other places but these two are my favorites.

Photoshop does take awhile to learn, before photoshop I used a program called my memories suite, by Polaroid. Which is great, I am just so used to photoshop now that I like it a lot better.

Hope this answers your questions! Thanks

More Scrapbooking...

Scrapbooking

So the other day (while I was trying to fix my stupid sidebar that is now on the bottom, and my background that has disappeared :) I saw that my profile says one of my interests is scrapbooking...

It is a big part of my life. You wouldn't know it from reading this blog now though, would you?

Our basement (ie my scrapbooking room) is torn all apart right now for my studio renovations (!!!).

So I have been doing all digital the last little bit, I will for sure do some paper scrapbooking still, because to be honest I'm already at the computer all day and I could use a break! But for now that can't happen.

I did these this morning. I am a cheater, if I have something I want to scrap of both boys I do it this way. And just switch out a picture or two, and the journaling. With both digital or paper.

Cheating? Probably.

Do I care? Not at all!

So anyway, I am going to add pages as I do them. Most people scrapbook right? Does anyone actually even care to see these?
