Digital Scraps #6 & #7

Gotta love the digital scrapbooking. Have gone crazy downloading freebie digital kits and such off the web. I took David to accupuncture tonight for his foot (seems like the only spare hour I get in the week sometimes!), and I took my little laptop (the smallest Sony Vaio you can get - fits in your handbag!)

I managed to complete two layouts while I was there. I am still learning - so #6 is a simple layout I created from scratch and #7 is a layout which uses a template - really love the templates. I really didn't understand how these worked until Mel explained the Ctrl-G grouping thing which sizes your paper/photo or whatever to the fit the element in the template.

I normally don't finish my business work until after 11pm most nights, so normally feel too tired to pull out the scrapbooking stuff to do part of a page. Digital scrapbooking means I just need my laptop, and I can use it in bed for say 1/2 an hour at night and get most of a layout done! It is fantastic!!! Definitely still doing the conventional scrapbooking, but I normally only get time to do this when I go down the coast, or to an organised scrapbooking event.

Here are my layouts:

#6 Eliza at Long Beach - doing her normal thing where she watches people for a while before running off to explore.

#7 Jasmin's Ponies. I recently purchased a Little Pony Stationery Set for her, she loves to pretend to write letters and normally makes the envelopes out of paper and sticks them down with sticky tape (very cute) - so she was very excited to get the stationery set, and even more excited when she discovered it came with Little Pony stickers. She then demanded that I go and take photos of her ponies, so that she could do a scrapbooking page, which she then stuck every single Little Pony sticker on (there must of been about 30 of the suckers).
