Papercraft Haven and More

I love digital scrapbooking - being able to take photos and memories and create a page!  I love this picture of me, my husband, 3 of our grandchildren taken a few years ago!  Since then, their mother - Del's daughter, has had another baby, this time a boy!  This picture has been used in many projects...but this layout is probably my favorite! Your challenge is to find one of your favorite layouts to start with.  Find one quote that you can use to go with it!  Choose one accent color you will use - I chose pink to match the girls' shirts and bow...  Create a layout with black and white, with one accent color!  I really like simple layouts like this, that doesn't take a lot of time to create it!  If you don't have a particular software you use - look back to the previous posts and you will find links to software I would recommend!  Within the next few weeks I will be reviewing another scrapbook software, and how to add kits for free, so ma...

When I first started digital scrapbooking, I started out by using Serif Craft Artist software (or at least the previous version that is), so this is what I have used from day one!  I tend to do easier type of layouts and projects...but I also love to play with all the bells and whistles, to see what I can come up with too!   I love the free kits I could download and use, without having to spend a bunch of money up front..., but I also like the kits you can purchase too!      You can download a free version of software at Daisy Trail web site, along with more free kits you can use!  Sign up for a free account, that way you can get on and check out what others are doing!  This review is on the Craft Artist 2 Professional software - cost $39.99, but is worth it in my opinion with everything you get with it!   Create scrapbook pages, photo books,  cards, invitations, toppers for cup cakes,  gift bags, tags, certificates, flyers and ...

If you missed last week...check out the post here , for a link to free digital scrapbook software you can start out with, to decide if this is for you!  I hope you decided what software you want to use - or you downloaded the free version - if so lets do another fun project! Starting with a photo - use it as the background for the whole page.  Add some sort of embellishment, and journaling!  You don't have to do black and white, but if you want to, change the color of the photo!  Look at the digital embellishments you have access to in each of the kits that you have, and pick out a nice font for the journaling!  The layouts can be saved as a jpeg format for you to share and print out easily! Or change it up...use a background or two...no more than 3 embellishments and a frame... NO journaling or title to be used...but you can do a separate page with anything else if you want!     Digital scrapbooking is fun in the sense you can change the look ...
