Latest Digi - Page
Just finished this one today. I have been wanting to scrap these pictures since I took them back in January but simply didn't have the time. Finally got the time with Spring Break and then found myself stumped as to how to put the page together. Luckily I had Carrie's help and with a few e-mailed rough (very rough) drafts and some good advice I was on my way to a fun flying adventure :-)

digi scrap info
If you have used a program to edit photos, you most likely have just the software you need to scrap digitally. What are the benefits? Well, there are quite a few.
-My "by hand" ones have pictures that pop off. I hate that. Digi pages print out one neat and clean photo.
-Do you ever cringe cropping that really cute photo into a frame, or cropping grandma out because she just won't fit? That doesn't matter with digi scrapping. You still have the original pic and you can adjust the frame size and picture size as you like it.
-Children. Ugh, scrapbooks are such a mess! The kids get to the scissors, those 12.99 papers you splurged for and any and every cute sticker you have. Stamps get all over them and we don't even want to think about those felt tip markers being mashed into oblivion. All I have is my laptop on the table. Easy peasy. Low stress.
-Crop nights. Ha! I love walking in with my laptop as these hard core scrappers haul in thousands of dollars worth of supplies that weigh a ton.
-$$$$ I have a digital camera, a lot of cute papers and elements are found on line and that page that would cost 4-14 dollars is only $2.00 for me.
-copies. I can print pages for family and each kid if I want instead of making a bad photocopy or redoing the page over and over.
-Kits. one kit is usable over, and over and over. You can adjust the color of that cute element that just isn't the right shade.
-Spell check for journaling and fonts gallore!
I can keep going.... But I'll just eave you some great sites to look at instead.

Digi-Scrap-booking
I realized we are missing a great craft entry on this site...digital scrap-booking! Here are some of my pages. I use Photoshop to put mine together but there are other applications. The backgrounds, frames, and add on pieces came from my friend Carrie. I hope Carrie will post some of her pages as well as some hints for finding the scrap book materials online. She taught me how to digi-scrap and her pages are far superior to mine!
