Digital Layouts!!!! I figured it out!!! Yeah Me!!!!

OK I finally figured it out- Thanks to 2 peas in a bucket.com for their awesome tutorials about photoshop and other topics related to crafting.

Anyway here is one of my digital layouts- I am getting better- this was the very first one I did- I love scrapping digitally- not as much as paper and glue- but it is a lot of fun.



This is another layout that I did. It was a lot of fun- I figured out how to use elements like stamps- that is what the black dots on the sides are. There is a whole other world in digital scrapbooking. It's kind of neat!

Hope you enjoy!

Love to all,

Dawn

Digital Scrapbooking

Ok so its summer and I am not working that leaves me with some extra time on my hands- I have been reading several blogs lately where the girls are using Adobe Photoshop to create some fantastic scrapbook pages, they look just like the ones that I create with paper and embelishments but they are all done on the computer- Soooo I had to give it a try- now I didnt buy Photoshop (are you kidding me its 100- but costco has a 30 cupon if you are interested) anyway Adobe lets you have a trial version for 30 days so I have been "trying" it out, and I LOVE it- now its not as much fun as the glue and paper and such, but it does give really neat results- I have been trying to upload some of my pages but blogger is being a pain and not uploading them- I will continue to try.
If you want more info about digital scrapbooking contact me and I will share what I know- I have done some digging around and found free papers and embelishments to download.

Happy Happy Birthday!

We have lots of birthdays in our family: Lets see how they all turned out...

First we celebrated Paul's 36th (my, my he's getting old)- on May 27th- we had dinner with his family and friends at Ichiro's - the dinner was good, seeing the family and friends was great, but the cake was WONDERFUL! Birthday cake is my favorite food!

Teagan told Paul that she was going to have a Hannah Montanna cake because that was her favorite and he could have a Spongebob cake because that was his favorite- well here it is (or was- it was too yummy to last long).

Then we had Carter's 1st birthday in Columbia- we had a great time at the bubble party- Carter didnt know what to think about all of the people there , his cake and the balloons. We all had a great time helping Carter celebrate the big 1.


















And last but certainly not least on June 6th we had Teagan's 5th birthday. Teagan had a Hannah Montanna Pool/Slumber Party- She had a Hannah Montanna cake, Hannah Montanna plates, Hannah Montanna Cups, Hannah Montanna "Nakins", Hannah Montanna goody bags- If it had Hannah Montanna on it she had it. She even got a Hannah Montanna bike from MeMe and Papa Red. She had lots of fun swimming in the pool, eating hotdogs and cake and then having 3 little girls and Maggie spend the night for a real Slumber party. Wow it is hard to beleive that Teagan is already 5, seems like yesterday she was celebrating the big 1.

Well all of these parties and not one of them was mine. Oh well mine will be here in 4 months- I am already making my list. I like to celebrate my birth month- not just the day :)
