MDS Blog Hop: Spring

I pulled out some spring photos from last year to scrapbook. These are all cell phone photos which I have so many of. I seriously rarely pick up my SLR camera because it's so big and clumsy (but I really should more often because of the money I spent on it). I think other moms will relate to the craziness that is going somewhere- it's a wonder we even get our kids out the door, let alone a camera! So don't beat yourself up about it- use those cell phone shots and make scrapbook pages when you have time- like while the kids are napping. Will your albums be perfectly organized and in chronological order? Probably not. I just pull out photos that are fun to play with at that moment. I pair them with a new digital designer series paper I want to try out that day. (Of course using Pinterest to do all the creative work for me.) When I have 100 scrapbook pages done, I order a printed album.

Now's a great time to try out My Digital Studio- the $79.95 price just got reduced to $19.95! Take the guilt out of scrapbooking and start having fun preserving memories. Click here to order either the disc or download version. Plus if you purchase in the month of April you get free access to my next online class! (most likely a beginner MDS class in the summer)

MDS Blog Hop: Using A Sketch

Today's challenge was to create a layout using the sketch Amber picked. I had a fun time using this Attic Boutique kit and this picture of my pretty girl from Easter. This is the last week of school this semester so hopefully that means you'll see a lot more projects from me soon!

New Layouts (4/9) MDS

The theme this week is scraplifting. I have not been feeling very creative lately so every time I go to make a layout I need a starting point. Usually I go through my favorites on MyDigitalStudio.net or on Stampers' Showcase until I find inspiration.

This is a total scraplift of this layout by Christine Fuson.

This layout is based on a paper one by Marlene Peters posted on Stampers' Showcase.

The next two were inspired by layouts I have in my Inspiration folder on my computer. Such a great resource to have when you are out of ideas.
