Digital layout for Susu...

I did this layout for Susie's birthday from Charlie!

3-photo block in a trapezoid shape...

I was up early this morning (6 a.m.) and decided to try and go thru another portion of my on-line class...learned how to do this trapezoid shape edit today...fun stuff!

I Love Duplos...

Another digi-layout. Used the same layout as the Play-Doh page, having fun with this template and all the fun colors.

Beautiful...

Another layout done tonight...this is SO cool. I think I might actually get 365 layouts done in 2009!

Click on any of the layouts to make them larger to read the journaling.

Happy...

Did this digital layout this afternoon while Charlie was taking a nap. The irony -- Victor is trying to wake her up and she isn't too HAPPY right now!!

Why I smiled today...Lots of fun with Charlie at the Little Gym, lunch with Susie, helping Diane take down the Christmas decorations at work and spending the day together! Charlie make me HAPPY!!!

Adding back a little color...

Today I learned how to put the color back into a photo, create a torn-page effect and add some digi-embelishments..COOL STUFF!!!

Finally -- Colorful Year in Review 2008...

Layout #5....

This one took me a bit longer, but I'm "getting and remembering" stuff! That makes me happy! Love this photo of Charlotte back when she was just 4 months old. This photo takes me right back to that day when we got "lost" in Lake Oswego, but found the coffee house and had a great time visiting with Sophia and Vincenzo.

Layout #3...

Just finished up this one. Having TOO much fun with this. Best part, it's FREE!!! No paper, printed photos involved...all digital!! Lovin' this!

My 2nd digi layout...

I'm on a roll...yahoo! Last time I'm using this background...just experimenting.

My first digi layout...

I only signed up to take Jessica Sprague's Up and Running with Photoshop on-line class in August '07. Well, guess what I FINALLY did today. I completed the first lesson and my very first 12"x12" digi-scrapbooking page! So excited! Now, if I would have only PROOF READ what I typed...I didn't have it large enough and put little gir instead of little GIRL...Oh well, it's just a .jpg file!

One of my 9 things to accomplish in '09...I'm getting Digi with it!

2008 in photos...black & white photos for now...

Cuz I can't figure out how to get the color back...blagh! Help me Shelley--you are my only hope!
