The Court Goes to School

I've been hired to complete an album for a business. This particular office has adopted a school as a group volunteer project. They've been documenting bits & pieces of their work since they began, so the scrapbook has come together very easily. For the next several days, we'll look at what's in the book thus far. Today, we start with the title page.

Supplies used: black cardstock; white cardstock; DCWV - the Grade School stack; Singer Pixie; white thread; pop dots; Adobe Photoshop Elements 6; Frame - Sande Krieger A Little Pizzazz Funky Frame; Font - Scrap Kids

An Album Gone Digital: Day 3

This is the right-hand page of the two-page layout "Leaving Seattle." You'll notice that I used the same digital template on this layout as on the left-page, but I flipped it both horizontally AND vertically for balance.

Supplies used: Program - Adobe PS Elements 6; Template - Cathy Zielske no. 01 (DesignerDigitals); Font - CK Urban (title), Cooper standard (journaling); Paper - Angie Briggs Whimsy Style kit blue solid patterned paper & brown solid patterned paper (ScrapArtist), Meredith Fenwick Serenity kit paper 2, Michelle Coleman Fall Splendor kit distressed brown paper, Sarah Batdorf Whimsy Style kit brown circles patterned paper (ScrapArtist); Journaling block - Sande Krieger Travel Papers diamond ledger (TwoPeas); Ribbon - Rhonna Farrer Travel kit ribbon (May Free{Pea}); Rub-on - Ali Edwards Hello Summer brushes "ocean" and "travel" (DesignerDigitals)

An Album Gone Digital: Day 2

For the next several days, you're going to see layouts I've done for our latest cruise album. I've really enjoyed this album so far. It's amazing how freeing a digital template can be! If you've never tried using one, I strongly encourage you to watch one of Jessica Sprague's tutorials and give it a try. (Here is one superb sample. More can be find on her website.)

Digital Layouts 07/22/07

More fun with Adobe Elements. While I may do some paper layouts of this cruise (particularly since I've bought paper, etc.), I'm enjoying the digital ones. And since 100% of the photos from this trip are digital, it's even easier.

Digital Layouts 07/19/07

NYC Montage
I scraplifted this digital layout from one of my favorite magazines--Creating Keepsakes. I found it a great way to display highlights from our fall trip to NYC. The blank spot in the corner will be taken up by a journal, detailing each day's activities. Everything is digital except for the journal.


Digital paper: Rhonna Farrer & Jen Lessinger (TwoPeas)
Fonts: Verdana & Sketched Alaphabet
Program: Adobe Elements 4.0


Broadway
In theory, this layout was scraplifted. But in the end, it looks absolutely nothing like my inspiration layout, so I think I can call it original. Finally, I'm figuring out this digital scrapbooking thing.
