Well, my cross stitching has not been happening this year. With a toddler running around, it is kind of hard to stitch. He wants to play with the light. He keeps trying to see what he can take from me that looks interesting. So, what have I been doing? Catching up on my scrapbooking.
I am still so far behind. I have started digital scrapbooking which I have found a new love for. It is so fun and easy, and actually, I feel, is a little cheaper than traditional when all is said and done. However, I have a ton of papers and embellishments to use... and a whole lot of old photos that are printed, so thus, can't go all the way digital just yet.
I am not creative like some people. I have seen some of the most amazing pages. Some that are simple and elegant; others that are collagey and fun. I am lucky to put mats under my pics and some embellishments. When it comes to journaling, well, the computer better be around. I have the worst handwriting ever. Thank God for free fonts!
I love Adobe Photoshop. I am using it to make some cool collages. I am using Creative Memories Storybook Creator for my digital scrapbooking. I highly recommend it. It is so easy to use. You can buy their kits or use whatever you import in. I have scanned some of my own papers to use.
I hope I can scan some of my pages and put them in the 2010 folders. I finished a high school yearbook. I also updated my oldest sons book. I think I could scrapbook everyday and never get caught up...(I love taking pictures... and I have a niece who is a photography major. She takes great pics.).
Well, sorry no pics yet, but I hope to post some soon.
Maybe I could find a small cross stitch to do so that I feel like I accomplished something...:D.
Later.
