My first experience with digital scrapbooking was creating our lifebook for the adoption agency (my goodness there is so much in there I would redo, but that's another post). It was a really easy way for me to create a page and make multiple copies without feeling like I had to compromise on the quality of the copied images. For Christmas this year, I made calendars using the same techniques. I was able to download most of the "papers" and things for free from here. I also love the control that I have over choosing the sizes of things and my ability to arrange and rearrange my layouts. I don't think that I'll be giving up paper anytime soon. For one thing, I've got a room full of it. I just love the textured look that layered papers give. I do think that I'll be doing more of these smaller digital projects though.
For those of you who didn't receive the calendars, here they are. The regular calendar pages went out as gifts, and the extra "daddy" pages went to Brad only. I put the pages in Creative Memories Minutes albums that turn into an easel to make cute little desk calendars. The album page slots are 4.5"x6.5" so I had the pages printed by the photo printer and then mounted them on cardstock.
Enjoy!
Now what am I possibly going to come up with for Father's Day?!
Merry Christmas again!
