Scrapbooking Family Traditions

My husband, daughter and I moved back to Nebraska when my daughter was one, which was 6 years ago. The year we moved back, we started a family tradition of visiting the local pumpkin patch near Halloween. The first year we took my husband's parents and my grandmother. Subsequent years have included...

Need a push? Ways to be inspired to take more photos.

The last couple months we have talked about creating a digital scrapbook all about you. I hope that you have been inspired to create something that you can pass down to your children or grand children while celebrating a very important person, you! Recently, my friend and I decided to check out our cities...

All About Me Album, What makes you unique?

When I was a child I had this odd little knack of being able to figure out clocks. It didn't really matter how complex, new or old they were, I could sit down and within minutes figure out how they worked. My grandmother would put clocks aside with the mental note to have me look at it when I was...

About Me Album", Your Childhood

My grandmother has been in the process of writing her autobiography for some time now, and I've had the pleasure of reading most of it. Her stories are so eloquently written and talk about how, while living during the depression, she and her family survived living on a farm. As I read her memories...

Your "About Me" Album, First Meetings

I've been walking you through creating your About Me Album, and this week, the focus on how you met your significant other, and the story behind how certain people came into your life. I've been looking forward to these pages, mainly because they don't necessarily focus on me. Please don't...

Your "About Me" Album, Showcase the Family

When I was young, my grandfather would occasionally bring out the slide show projector and we would go through the slides, looking at pictures that were taken in the past. I remember seeing photos of me sitting on a motorcycle, and sitting with my grandparents, and even now, I can close my eyes and visually...

Your "About Me" Album, Introduce Yourself

Last week I introduced you to the idea of creating an album about you . If you're like me, you are busy scrapping all about your family or pets, or vacation, but scrapping about yourself really isn't a focus that you've had. I wanted to have something that my children could look at when they're...

Don't forget to scrap about you...

I'm horribly about scrapping about myself. I don't really like to call attention to myself, as I'm more of a wall flower in social settings, and I have maybe 4 photos of myself in the thousands of photos on my hard drive, so scrapping about me is not a top priority. However, recently, while...

Less is More

A blank canvas is not a bad thing! My living room has been bugging me lately. All of the walls in our home are painted white, and for some very odd reason I have not gotten around to actually putting pictures up on the walls in the living room. I've spent many minutes standing staring at the big...

Secure your Photos!

In 2002, I sold my film camera and went 100% digital. Since then, I have accumulated well over 17,000 photos that equal roughly 34 GIG on my hard drive. Unlike film photo, there are no negatives that you can pull out if a photo is ruined. If your hard drive crashes and you don't have a backup, everything...

Trying out the Orton Technique

This tutorial was written for Photoshop CS, but can easily be converted for Photoshop Elements. The Orton Technique consists of combining two photos of the same subject, one in focus and the other out of focus. The purpose is to add a glowing halo effect to the subject. 1. Open the image that you want...

The imperfect photo and layouts

In every photo shoot that I have ever done, I take tons of photos and only a handful are truly worthy of being called “perfect”. The rest have my child’s head chopped off, they are making a funny face, or something is just way off. These are the “imperfect” photos. I used...

More About Using Digital Scrapbook Templates

In February, I introduced you to what digital scrapbook templates were and since then, I've had several people contact me asking for more information about them and how they can be used. I wanted to use this opportunity to show you how versatile templates are. Connie Prince, at Gotta Pixel, has made...

Save a little money on your hybrid projects!

Because I'm not a traditional paper scrapper, I have had to pick up some supplies along the way to do the hybrid projects I've been working with. I have found a few ways to decrease the costs involved and wanted to share those with you now. A small disclaimer though. If you are going to be working...

Up close and personal photography

I'm not a winter person and that usually means that the number of photo shoots that I do during the winter are few and far between. Now that it's spring time though, I've been trying to have a photo shoot every weekend that we go out to my grandmother's after we attend church. My grandmother's...
