Never, never, never :) I was thinking about making my Christmas cards and felt overwhelmed at the thought of so many to make. I decided to try a couple of renditions before going to my workshop and working. Here are a couple I came up with to make. Now which one will it be...maybe neither :) But hey, maybe I'll let you guys decide for me.
~or~
I hope you guys don't get tired of seeing my scrap pages of the grandchildren. There will be many more to come because I am in the process of creating each one of them a scrapbook of themselves. This is a page for Emily...
She's 15 so you can believe the title of this one :) Love you Emi!!!
Kennedy started out her cheer season with a bang! First stunt, trip to the emergency room, pulled tendon, out for 6 weeks. I should have taken pictures when the doctor told her she couldn't do any stunting for 6 weeks. Her team is preparing for competition and she is a base (she lifts one of the other girls). What did the doc say about lifting? Oh well, hopefully there will be more cheering pics to come.
I love creating my own backgrounds using My Digital Studio. I also created the background for the baseball page I did of my grandson, Drew, below. It is so easy to customize your backgrounds using this program. I used a photo I had taken while at the Louisville Zoo of a couple of giraffes. After I uploaded the pic to my MDS, I reduced the opacity to 50%. It really is that simple. Here is the finished product.
I loved doing this page because I absolutely love the photo of my daughter and granddaughter. This was taken at my Dad's 93rd birthday/reunion. Has to be one of my favorites...perhaps because of its simplicity.
But, being the anal retentive person that I am...I had to redo it to my satisfaction. I guess I will leave it alone now with my realignments :)
Oops, no, still don't like it. I'm so glad that I can make these changes so simply and so quickly. Once I am satisfied (will I ever be) I will have it printed and then add 3-D embellishments (hybrid scrapbooking). Here is my last, I promise, version.
Let me know which one you like best.
