I’m really excited to share a layout using the New York, New York kit from Little Feet Digital Designs !! We were in NY a few years ago as a family and had a great great time. I did paper layouts for each activity we did but I wanted to make one that kind of summed up our whole trip. Hello, love this kit, and we love NY!
And, for those of you who have photos that aren’t quite perfect or not exactly the right thing, I say…use them anyway! Are we all a little squinty in these photos? yup, did I use them anyway? absolutely. Better squinty photos with your memories than none at all!!
I’m busy making layouts for my CT work at Little Feet Digital Designs (which I’ll be able to share here as soon as they are in her shop!) Today I thought I’d share a layout I just finished using The Digi Files #62 kit called Dazzled by Connie Prince. If you are digital scrapbooker, check out the Digi-Game at The Daily Digit…it is a truly awesome value 7 kits every month for $7.99!
I managed to apply one layout to four class assignments for Big Picture Classes (!) I so love ticking things off a list and I love the chance to tell stories!
Hello all my scrappy friends….and even my non-scrappy/not quite so scrappy friends! I am thrilled to have a give away for you !! As I mentioned a few months ago, I was asked to contribute content to the Art + Science of Scrapbooking re-run class at Big Picture Classes. The class is going to start running this month!!!! (insert hand clapping and jumping up and down!!) In honor of this, I have one seat in A+S to give away to one of my blog/facebook/twitter followers!!
Here is the info on the class:
Art + Science of Scrapbooking, 16 brain-boosting challenges to strengthen your creative process taught by Stacy Julian and Jennifer Wilson
Are you a right-brained person who embraces possibility and spontaneity, thrives on imagination, relies on feelings, and thinks in symbols and images? Are you a left-brained person who practices strategy and order, finds comfort in facts, relies on logic, and thinks in words and language?
The answer to both questions is “yes!” In The Art + Science of Scrapbooking, a mind-bending workshop from Stacy Julian and Jennifer Wilson, you’ll learn to harness the creative power of both sides of your brain.
In four illuminating weeks, right-brainer Stacy Julian and left-brainer Jennifer Wilson will help you embrace your natural cognitive strengths. But they’ll also challenge themselves, each other, and YOU to find a new sense of balance and power as you explore the other side of your brain.

I will admit I have been procrastinating about starting work on a Family History Album. Oh, who are we kidding, I’m sure it will end up being a series of albums. Well, I was inspired this evening by one of my fellow Creative Team members who posted a lovely page with photos of her mom as a little girl. I decided it was time to JUST START…so I did.
This is a digital layout of Charlie’s grandpa Dease who was in the Army during WWII. The photos are from a DVD that Charlie’s uncle had made of photos that he’d scanned. Now, I do not know any more details other than Grandpa didn’t go to Europe until after the war ended, I’ll have to get Charlie and his mom to fill in more information, and I’ll go back in and add the info as I get it.
I have no plans for a the structure of a Family History Album Series (other than this project is kicking up toward the top of my to-do pile) and quite frankly, that has kept me from making layouts because I didn’t have a plan. I am trying to “begin with the end in mind” on big projects but now that I’m really starting to think about it… I may just start and see where it all leads!
