Ahhhhh... one of the beauties of digital scrapping. It fits into the duplex in which I live. And cleanup is a matter of clicking an X.

what is a place to do digital scrapbooking? I think I might enjoy this....Last thing I need is another mess to clean up or leave out.

I like it when the paper and embellishments are all spread out and I am creating too. I also love it when the kids pick up a scrapbook and bring it over and we sit on the couch and look through it and talk about what we did.

I just saw the dates on your KTTW cards and you just came back and are already finished with the book!?!?!? OMG!!!! I am finishing up the ones from our 12/6 cruise now and hope to start on the repo last month by January.

i do this little trick...do the pages BEFORE you go!! i had the dinners, ports, parties, and room pages done and i only had to add a few more pages to finish the book. i do that with all my disney scrapbooks, or else I would be soooo overwhelmed!!!

I guess if I kept our trips to a few days I could do that but I have 120 pages done for our 7 day cruise so far and haven't even started on the WDW portion of the trip before the cruise. I am going to try to minimize on the Repo book but somehow I think that with 15 days on the ship and 7 in CA beforehand I am not going to fit it all in one book. LOL!

Well, the first thing you have to do is have a program on your computer that can open files that end in PNG and files that end in JPG and that can put them in layers. Photoshop does this. Paintshop Pro also does this. I've heard that Paint.net and/or GIMP also do these. Got any of those? If so, let me know and I'll point you towards a couple of sites where you can pick up freebie stuff to get started.

Hey, to each her own, right?

Thanks Hypermommy. I don't have Photoshop yet but I am planning on getting it. I was just going to get the basic Elements for now. Will that be good enough? Please point me in the right direction. God knows I need direction!

And I do agree that I like putting it all together on paper too. I do have to use what I have so I will be doing some.

Hypermommy -- I am not trying to take over your assisting TXdeVille, but I just wanted to respond about photoshop elements. (by the way, I just happen to be visiting this site to get ideas for cruise layouts -- because we are going on a cruise!!) Anyway . . .

TXdeVille -- I have never paper scrapped and only recently started digiscrapping. I love it! It's addicting! Hypermommy makes great pages so she really would be better to point you in the right direction. Just wanted to tell you about photoshop elements. I have PSE and it is great. The big photoshop has all sorts of bells and whistles on it which may or may not interest you. But I think PSE is just wonderful; don't let the word "basic" fool you. In addition to Hypermommy's help, take a look at this site on the DIS http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1475382

Again, Hypermommy, I apologize for sticking my nose in, but just wanted to say "yah" to photoshop elements.

Thanks! And I will certainly check out that Disboard site.

Hypermommy, I'd still love to hear your suggestions

bumping us up to the top!

 

[twinmommyks]

Just bumping - does anyone have any more pages to post? I'm hoping to start on our cruise scrapbook soon and love seeing all the great pages everyone has done.

Well, I came up with something I think will work splendidly if I say so myself.

The goal here is obviously to have some simplicity so autographs and pictures are the focal points. I have yet to make spots for pictures so peole write around the frames, but you can get the idea. I used my Cricut for the letters, Donald's tie, Mickey's buttons, and Goofy's hat. Otherwise, it was all my own paper piecing.

I have a couple of other characters I plan to do as well, but OMG it's 2:30 in the morning!!!!

Night Night!

I thought I would share how well, imo, this idea was executed! I will *SO* cherish these hand-written messages that were left on our door for a lifetime!

As you can see, I just put the scrapbook page up on our door with little magnets. Every couple of days, I switched out the scrapbook page for a new one. You'll see to the right of the scrapbook page, I had several different colored markers hanging on the door. I hope not using archival-safe markers won't bite me years to come!

Minus the decisions on which pictures I'm going to use, here are the closeups of what I came home with! Don't forget to block out space that you don't want anyone to write on so you have room to journal and insert a photo from your DIS Meets Parties.

Oh Kimberly I forgot about your pages.. Im so stealing the idea for my next one. I also love the cards you made. You are so talented! Miss ya

 

[TotallyAngelic]

WOW - Kimberley - I love your idea for the signed scrapbook pages! They look amazing.

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Thank you!

Drea, I hope you and others *DO* run with this idea! You won't regret using that space for a 12x12 instead of a couple more graphic door magnets!

Sarah, you better come over and sign a page when we meet on the WB TA! I'll do thee same for you if you want to do this as well!
