Learn to Stamp and Scrap with Lynn Larson

Digital Scrapbooking - Dreams, Wishes and Goals

This is a scrapbook page that I created to list my dreams, wishes and goals.  This page is mostly journaling with a photo in the background with a low opacity setting. 

Sometimes it is nice to just scrapbook your thoughts, your dreams, goals or wishes.  This page is a little bit about me and what I am hoping to get out of life.  It is a great way to share with my friends and family the things that are important to me.

This page is another one that I created using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio program.  It is so easy to use, so fun and so fast.  You can put an entire scrapbook together in no time at all.  Contact me if you would like to find out more about My Digital Studio!

Enjoy this fabulous day!

A Tribute to My Daughter - Digital Scrapbooking

In honor of my daughter's 21st birthday today, I thought I would share a very special scrapbook page I made a few weeks back for her. 

I have mentioned before that I really didn't know if I would ever really get into digital scrapbooking.  I have to say that I use "My Digital Studio" from Stampin' Up! almost all the time when I am scrapbooking now.  I love how the photos and all the scrapbooking supplies are right at your fingertips!

This is a page that I made using a variety of photos taken at different times and added a song as my journaling.  I remember when I first heard this song, I instantly thought of Stephanie.  It is every parent's dream for their children. 

So, at 21 Stephanie "I Hope you Dance"...  I love you and Happy Birthday!

Digital Scrapbook - Likes and Dislikes

Today I am sharing a page that I created as part of a design team that I am on.

This page represents 50 things that I like and 50 things that I dislike.  This ended up being a fun page to create because I am able to leave a little legacy for my kids and "someday" grandkids letting them know what I stand for and believe in.  

I created this page using My Digital Studio because I have been on a roll scrapbooking with that program lately.  I really enjoyed doing this project this way because I could pull pieces from existing pictures on my computer to show some of the things that I like to add color and interest to my page.  The background of my "likes" side is actually a photo that I took and then made it slightly opaque so you could not only see the words describing my "likes", but also get a feel for the things that I enjoy most in life.  The right side of the page shows the things that I dislike.  I purposely didn't put pictures on this side of the page or make it colorful.  I wanted people's eyes to be drawn to my likes which are the more fun things.

I hope you enjoy my project today.  It was a really special one for me to create.  There was a lot of time and though put into what I wanted to do and I really like the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you like about this page!

Photo Card - Digital

 

This is a digital card that I haven't shared with you yet.  I created this card using My Digital Studio.  This photo was taken during the ice storm we had in December 2008.  The pictures were beautiful but the damage in our area was not.  I love the way this picture turned out though.  As you can see, we had approx. 3 inches of ice during this storm.  The black portion is not part of the card.  I left it there to show you the white border.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today!

Digital - Wells Beach, Maine

Friday mornings I hold a weekly scrapbooking crop at my house.  This morning I was working on more digital scrapbooking pages.  The first one I created was for a special Design Team that I am on for the Soulology Project with Erika Martin.  That one is a for members of the online class only so I won't be sharing that creation with you today.  I will, however, be sharing another page that I made today that I had already started on my computer when I first started "playing" around with digital crafting software.  I added some background and some embellishments to finish off the page so I could share it with you.

These pictures were taken in Wells Beach, Maine in November of last year.  We had some crazy warm weather and decided to take a "quick overnight trip" to the beach.  It was so beautiful that day.  As you can see the skies were so blue and hardly a cloud to be found.

This page uses "My Digital Studio" software from Stampin' Up! for the entire page.  I am planning on printing out some pages to put together an album.  I am also working on a hard-cover book that will be printed out as a surprise gift for someone very special to me...no hints just yet.

Hope to see you back here again tomorrow!  Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by for a visit.

Digital Scrapbooking - Always and Forever

I cannot scrapbook about me without including my hubby.  This page talks about how much he means to me and how he completes me.  Without him, I would be a different person (probably with more sanity though...LOL).

The photo used here was one from our trip to Hawaii with Stampin' Up! last year.  We were heading out the door for dinner at the Chinese restaurant at the resort and took this photo together.

I cannot believe how much fun I am having using My Digital Studio to create my scrapbook pages.  It is really a blast and very user friendly!

Hope to see you back here again tomorrow!

Digital - Calendar Page

I haven't shared with you yet a calendar that I created back in December using My Digital Studio.  This is one of the months from the calendar.  I made the whole calendar using photos from our Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to Hawaii last year. 

The top of the calendar shows a full color picture that I took from our trip.  The bottom of the page with the calendar grid shows the same picture at a lower opacity setting so the picture is faded into the background.

 
I hope you enjoyed today's digital project.

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Digital Scrapbooking - Hawaii Luau

Here is another digital page that I created this week.  This one is of Darryl at the Stampin' Up! Luau in Hawaii last year.  The luau was such a blast.  Stampin' Up! really did a great job putting that one together!

 

This is just a simple, clean page done using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio.  Lovin' it!

Thanks for stoppying by!

Digital Scrapbooking - It's Good to Dream

I am loving scrapbooking with My Digital Studio.  I cannot get enough of it!  I have been sharing a little piece of myself in my recent scrapbook pages.  Since I don't typically print many pictures of myself digital scrapbooking has been a great way to incoporate the pictures on my computer into a scrapbook layout with minimal effort on my part.  My Digital Studio uses colors, stamps and embellishments from Stampin' Up! and are right on my computer so scrapbooking can be done anywhere I take my laptop.  It is really awesome having it be so portable.  I can work on it any time and not have a mess to clean up when I am done!

Today's page is about dreaming and what you are hoping comes true.  A lot of my dreams have already come true in my life, but I don't stop hoping for things like a cure for cancer or the happiness of my children.

Now I mentioned not having many pictures of myself and that I also don't print many of them off.  this photo was taken last year in Hawaii while on the Stampin' Up! incentive trip.  My husband was taking candid shots of me.  This is one where I was looking down at my hand and itching it because I had the hives - I think from the volcano ash.  So while it looks like I might be in deep thought, I was actually in "itching mode":))  There is something to be said about the power of cropping and journaling!

Thanks for dreaming a little dream with me...share your dreams by leaving a comment!
