Trying Not to Waste my Time....(too much!)





I decided a while ago that digital scrapbooking is the best thing since Boston Creme Rolls! hahaha Since I LOVE LOVE LOVE scrapbooking and being creative, I love this option of digital stuff...I can use all my skill in scrapbooking and photo editing to create books for my family that will last for a long long time! I am so excited! Well, today I decided that i would start on Calvin's book. I was going to hold off until I moved to WY however, I have found that if I don't work on this, then I spend my free time wasting away while watching MTV, TLC, VH1, ect. (Not really the best thing to be doing...) I am hoping to catch up to his state of being and then each month create a few new pages...once the year mark is up, I will be able to send the book to the printers and give it to Cassandra, grandparents, and ourselves!! The goal will be to have a book for each year of his life! Let me know what you think, would you?!? Thanks!

Hi Lila, my husband and I are adopting through LDSFS and are in the waiting phase. I think I found your blog through the R house and have loved following your sweet family's story. If it's ok, please include me when your blog goes private, my email is kaleoandshellee@gmail.com

And I LOVE the scrapbook pages, they're so cute! I think digital is the way to go too, faster, cheaper, and still creative. Do you use special software and where do you print the books. Just curious, I'm not really a scrapbooker yet but hoping to have a reason to start very soon! Thanks for sharing your story and congrats on your adorable son.

i use photoshop to create the page layouts. I upload the paper and other things off the internet...then use my magic and create a page.
