I'm going to begin with a card and a digital 8x8 album I created for my granddaughter's upcoming 4th birthday. I like digital for the kids albums, so if anything should get damaged by their handling, a simple re-print will be all it takes to replace the page.</span><br /><br />I created this card by enlarging a photograph of Amelia and dressing it with various materials. If you click on the first image you can see the detail in the top of the dress. By the way, the pearl in the center flower has been fixed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZPvUu7I/AAAAAAAAAX8/bvcbmuwMgTw/s1600-h/bdaycard.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZPvUu7I/AAAAAAAAAX8/bvcbmuwMgTw/s400/bdaycard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319963255460117426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZUh5GZI/AAAAAAAAAYE/n0ZqwzJVYMA/s1600-h/bdaycard2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZUh5GZI/AAAAAAAAAYE/n0ZqwzJVYMA/s400/bdaycard2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319963256745957778" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The first page is the cover, the other pages I grouped in lots of 4 for the blog.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZV3p_1I/AAAAAAAAAYM/ktAGwkgx33Q/s1600-h/cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZV3p_1I/AAAAAAAAAYM/ktAGwkgx33Q/s400/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319963257105678162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZarJGLI/AAAAAAAAAYU/HLI2Bh8CbvA/s1600-h/p2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZarJGLI/AAAAAAAAAYU/HLI2Bh8CbvA/s400/p2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319963258395367602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZb-JSII/AAAAAAAAAYc/2dncKD-SjZM/s1600-h/p3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdROZb-JSII/AAAAAAAAAYc/2dncKD-SjZM/s400/p3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319963258743507074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdRPNO9CECI/AAAAAAAAAYk/zX6hwshjcqU/s1600-h/p4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdRPNO9CECI/AAAAAAAAAYk/zX6hwshjcqU/s400/p4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319964148602376226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdRPNerCNXI/AAAAAAAAAYs/qt43HiptRnM/s1600-h/p5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SdRPNerCNXI/AAAAAAAAAYs/qt43HiptRnM/s400/p5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319964152821855602" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-20183400938177956532009-01-01T15:41:00.009-05:002010-09-17T08:13:02.668-04:00Paper Layouts<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SV0svPZVd2I/AAAAAAAAAW4/DsCnYbLZ26w/s1600-h/whoIam.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286430727701100386" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SV0svPZVd2I/AAAAAAAAAW4/DsCnYbLZ26w/s400/whoIam.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 393px;" /></a><br />

I had fun with this one. I used Syndee Knuckles Pink Ink paper which is a music paper. I recolored and used filters for the main backing, then since the original paper had guitars on it, I resized my son's guitar and placed it over the existing imagery, then ghosted a couple of the band photo's in the background. The she-devil imagery is actually the name of the guitar and is embedded in the neck of the guitar.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDyn1btZSaI/AAAAAAAAAME/N0Pten65GG8/s1600-h/test.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDyn1btZSaI/AAAAAAAAAME/N0Pten65GG8/s400/test.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205219805746514338" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-68083465364789138292008-05-26T00:42:00.012-04:002009-08-02T22:19:22.756-04:00Recipe BookI'm doing something different for family holiday gifts and I wanted to give you an idea of what I am planning.<br /><br />My mom was well known from my brother's restaurants for her baking. During the holidays she would bake some of her most sought after recipes and give them as gifts to special friends and customers. I thought I would do a recipe book of some of her favorite recipes. Its not the usual kind, as I wanted to create these pages in her vision. She was a soft spoken person with a love for giving and cared deeply for family, friends and strangers alike. In fact there was no stranger in mom's life. I will be adding photos in between the recipe pages also, and it will end up being a combination of recipe's and precious moments in their lives. So here is a little preview. There will be many more pages, but let me know what you think about the way I am presenting this book. The products used are <a href="http://www.oscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=70">createwings designs</a>, <a href="http://www.oscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=60">Paint The Moon</a> and <a href="http://www.oscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=55">Joanne Brisebois</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCFrtZSTI/AAAAAAAAALM/XDf00Kp80b0/s1600-h/cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCFrtZSTI/AAAAAAAAALM/XDf00Kp80b0/s400/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204544984779934002" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCVLtZSYI/AAAAAAAAAL0/IC5TYkA1ZmU/s1600-h/heavenly+hash.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCVLtZSYI/AAAAAAAAAL0/IC5TYkA1ZmU/s400/heavenly+hash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204545251067906434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCF7tZSUI/AAAAAAAAALU/deeca7vc6CE/s1600-h/keylime.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCF7tZSUI/AAAAAAAAALU/deeca7vc6CE/s400/keylime.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204544989074901314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCF7tZSVI/AAAAAAAAALc/BL6hxt6nPBg/s1600-h/cheesecake.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCF7tZSVI/AAAAAAAAALc/BL6hxt6nPBg/s400/cheesecake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204544989074901330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCGLtZSWI/AAAAAAAAALk/l-gkMhKvKzg/s1600-h/betterthansexcake.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCGLtZSWI/AAAAAAAAALk/l-gkMhKvKzg/s400/betterthansexcake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204544993369868642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCGLtZSXI/AAAAAAAAALs/AtmbDo5Z6OI/s1600-h/Frozen+Mocha+Mousse.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SDpCGLtZSXI/AAAAAAAAALs/AtmbDo5Z6OI/s400/Frozen+Mocha+Mousse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204544993369868658" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-9773893460585679472008-05-23T19:37:00.010-04:002009-08-02T22:10:16.961-04:00Simple PleasuresI've really departed from my usual layout design with this one.

God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'<br /><br />The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'<br /><br />Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'<br /><br />'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'<br /><br />'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life.'<br /><br />'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'<br /><br />At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'<br /><br />God said, 'You will simply call her, <span style="font-weight: bold;">'Mom.</span>'<br />. <br />Have a Happy Mothers’ DayDonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-39857879783860375532008-05-06T13:32:00.007-04:002009-08-02T22:12:20.826-04:00ReflectionsI miss you..<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SCCdYAgRWeI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Pu6UkuYS15g/s1600-h/bbchallenge.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SCCdYAgRWeI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Pu6UkuYS15g/s400/bbchallenge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197327005763328482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SCCWNggRWdI/AAAAAAAAAJk/wIOgORHuEt0/s1600-h/sjmemory.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SCCWNggRWdI/AAAAAAAAAJk/wIOgORHuEt0/s400/sjmemory.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197319128793307602" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-5521080902566279672008-05-06T00:03:00.004-04:002009-08-02T22:12:20.826-04:00Digital AgainFilling a little time inbetween cleaning with working on Mia's book.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SB_ZPggRWbI/AAAAAAAAAJU/VzlP4KPz2g0/s1600-h/Believe+in+Miracles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SB_ZPggRWbI/AAAAAAAAAJU/VzlP4KPz2g0/s400/Believe+in+Miracles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197111355455396274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SB_ZgggRWcI/AAAAAAAAAJc/VyB95cQm0ZY/s1600-h/Project3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SB_ZgggRWcI/AAAAAAAAAJc/VyB95cQm0ZY/s400/Project3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197111647513172418" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-69713826224567953752008-05-02T19:02:00.025-04:002009-08-02T22:12:20.828-04:00Another Doll<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBueeQgRWWI/AAAAAAAAAIo/vNBk0ZOgJq4/s1600-h/ddc1a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBueeQgRWWI/AAAAAAAAAIo/vNBk0ZOgJq4/s400/ddc1a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195920837765585250" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBuenggRWXI/AAAAAAAAAIw/d8v-vQNr-lE/s1600-h/ddc2a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBuenggRWXI/AAAAAAAAAIw/d8v-vQNr-lE/s400/ddc2a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195920996679375218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBueuggRWYI/AAAAAAAAAI4/UOvfqktYYCo/s1600-h/ddc3a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBueuggRWYI/AAAAAAAAAI4/UOvfqktYYCo/s400/ddc3a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195921116938459522" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBue7wgRWZI/AAAAAAAAAJA/3PQDp6zqm8k/s1600-h/pursecu.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBue7wgRWZI/AAAAAAAAAJA/3PQDp6zqm8k/s400/pursecu.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195921344571726226" border="0" /></a>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-7849674280725195232008-05-01T11:55:00.005-04:002009-08-02T22:12:20.829-04:00So much Altering, So Little TimeAhh yes, altering yet again. I'm finding this to be a fabulous addiction. Of course scrapping, both digitally and paper are also. I've decided to do a wall of my grandkids, but in a different way.

The first layout is posted and the next person then creates their own version of their take on that layout, then the next person creates their own on that completed layout. Its amazing how different each one turns out, yet they follow the same design theme. Here is the layout that was posted before my turn:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBUt-wgRWNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/XyLk3kXLwZY/s1600-h/faster_grandma.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SBUt-wgRWNI/AAAAAAAAAHg/XyLk3kXLwZY/s320/faster_grandma.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194108301437130962" border="0" /></a><br />And here is the layout I created based on the above layout:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SAfX2r4NT1I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/qMQqW3ZYEIk/s1600-h/tag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eip21o99ryU/SAfX2r4NT1I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/qMQqW3ZYEIk/s320/tag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190354430059171666" border="0" /></a><br />This was a fun, fascinating challenge for me and hope this one is held again in the future.Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808893212661969677noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559190771072201216.post-12444726090305083602008-04-24T13:23:00.010-04:002009-08-02T22:12:20.833-04:00A Little Digital DoodlingHaven't done much over these past days, kinda keeping to myself for awhile.

Like many paper scrappers I had my doubts and wondered why anyone would want to give up paper for this new concept in scrapbooking. After viewing what I consider beautiful works of digital art, I opened my unused photo program and began playing around. In less than an hour I had created my first digital layout, the outcome undoubtedly the worst I have ever created, but that didn't matter, I jumped in and began a brand new journey. I can't say "I never looked back", because I love paper and digital scrapbooking equally. For me they simply serve different purposes.<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Digital became a vehicle where I was able to create </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >safe,</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> hands on albums for my young grandchildren whereas no dangerous embellishments could fall off, or a torn page would not represent hours of work forever lost.
