MDS Blog Hop: Swatchbooks

This week's challenge was to create a swatchbook project. The swatchbook is a great, inexpensive option to show off your photos. They make great gifts. My mom asked me to make a swatchbook to give to my grandfather for Father's Day with pictures of our family. He lives in California so we don't get to see him much. He has so many grand kids (and now a few great-grand kids) and this is a good way for him to keep track of who belongs to who in our little family. I still need to add the journaling which will mostly be names on each page. I used the new Life Celebrated Swatchbook Template which made putting this together so easy. I just added photos. I love the colors, designs, and quotes included in this template. Here are some of my favorite pages from the swatchbook.

MDS Blog Hop: Fathers (+ video tutorial)

HoToday's layouts celebrate fathers. I have the best father.  Seeing him as a grandfather to my daughter has added a whole new level of admiration. I used a template from the Keep This Memory Photobook Template. I have a video for you today. It's pretty simple and shows you how to use the Photo Effects tool. I am going to start having tutorials on my blog- some that I will charge for- and I would love your feedback on what kinds of things you would like to see. Are there any techniques, tips, or tricks you'd like to know how to do? Thanks for the feedback.
