Digital Layouts

Today I got to meet with some awesome ladies in my ward and teach a scrapbook class. It was so much fun (After I rode my bike 1/2 mile to the church and I came in all sweaty and winded... pathetic). But seriously, if you haven't been turned on yet to the world of digital scrapbooking, I'd say you should really think about giving it a try. It's affordable, there's less mess, and you never have to worry about running out of supplies because once you buy a digital scrapbook item, you have it forever.

We learned to do simple layouts like these.





They really don't require a lot of Photoshop expertise, just a very basic knowledge. You could even do the same thing in Publisher or one of the free photo editing programs available online. Honestly the only Photoshop tools we really used were the crop tool, the move tool, and the copy/paste commands. Easy peasy!

New Mix and Match Scrapbook Paper!


My inner designer must be in high gear lately because I have another awesome collection for you... This time it is a mix and match collection and it's in my Etsy shop! Be sure to go check it out. It is perfect for digital scrapbookers.



As a kid I LOVED mix and match. As an adult, I still love it, so I thought, why not apply it to scrapbook paper?

This line has 6 patterns- quatrefoil, stripe, dot, damask, houndstooth, and medallion. Each pattern has TEN colors-- brown, cream, gray, hot pink, pale pink, aqua, lime green, red, purple, and mustard. I have already had a blast pulling out different patterns in different colors from the collection and see how many new and adorable combos I can make.

Bottom line... If you digital scrapbook, you NEED this line! Go grab yours now!
