My Newest Addiction

I just thought I'd introduce you all to my newest addiction: digital scrapbooking.
This has become my absolute favorite past-time, because 1. It combines my computer skills and my creativity. 2. It's CHEAP! Lots of stuff you can get for free, but even when you BUY stuff, it's inexpensive PLUS you can use it again and again! 3. Most importantly, THERE'S NO MESS!!!! Except maybe your desktop...mine's pretty full at the moment.

I'll show you first the Christmas cards that I made. I like these best, because I can never find a photo card that I like when I go to Snapfish or any of those other places. The third one down is the one I made for my parents' Christmas cards and the last one is the one you'll be getting from us as soon as Ben's paycheck clears the bank and we have money for stamps!










I've also made a lot of other things like pocket calendar covers (you know, for those little calendars with the plastic covers), desktop and wall calendars and this bookmark.




My next display is my actual scrapbook pages. They're my first, so I still have a lot to learn, but I'm pretty proud of them.

Ben's graduation from CTU

This is a page about our house church in Colorado Springs. I'm particularly proud of this one, because I "hand" made the "H" on "house church." I thought that was pretty ingenious of me. *grin*

Another one of my favorites.

Rosie's Page. I cut her out of one of the pictures and used it as part of the background.

This was a layout of pictures I took during our time at the B&B in Buena Vista for Thanksgiving. We got all the cousins in the tub and I started snapping. I printed this one out on photo paper and framed it in an 8x8 frame from the dollar store and gave it to my in-laws. they loved it!

I have a few more pages, but Ben and Adri are BEGGING me to go to bed. Tomorrow we start pictures of baking day with Gummy (my Mom) and Em (Emily) and Izzy (Lizzy).
