Caitsmama-

I love all your digital layouts. Not ready to try it yet but I really like looking at yours. One thing I like, and am learning from, is the flow you have on your pages. Your elements, pictures, colors, all have a movement that work well together.

Karen...I love that page. You picked up digital real quick! I'm not going to even attempt it.

I think it took me longer than doing it with paper and real embellishments! I am going to a crop night tonight, 6 to 11:30. Hopefully I will get more of the Tahiti cruise finished!

Here is my first Digital layout. Everything was created by me, though I used several brushes to "Grunge" up the edges. The photos are from my trip to Antietam from June 2006. For anyone who doesn't know, the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862 is the bloodiest day in American history. More than 23,000 men were killed, wounded, or missing after one day of fighting amongst the corn fields of Sharpsburg, MD. I've been fascinated by the battle of Antietam since high school, have done a lot of research on it, and have gone to visit it twice. One of my favorite parts is "Old Simon," which is the name giving to the statue at the center of the Antietam National Cemetery. I can't explain it, but there is something about him that I absolutely love. For one I love the inscription on it, which I used on the page, because I think it sums up what happened there. I'm thinking I will do the Antietam book digitally since there are SOOOO many pictures that it would take forever to do as a paper scrapbook. I didn't use any embelishments because I didn't think they worked. Its not like a traditional scrapbook page, but I'm happy with it.

 

[Caitsmama]

Great first page girl!!! whooo hoo.. you are all stepping into the "digi side!" lol

 

[Fran98765]

[Suzann]

Thanks Caitsmama

Yzerbear19 ~ WOW! That's all I can say!! GREAT first page!!! Love the flow

 

[jenr812]

Wow so many great digi pages everyone!!!

In a way I guess I've sort of done digital scrapbooking because its very similar to making desktop wallpapers, so it wasn't that difficult to create a digital scrapbook page. I've actually played around with some other pages for a few months now but haven't liked any of them.

I wanted to add to my previous post the text on the layout that is hard to read because I reduced the size of the image. Its part of a poem:

"The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat
The soldier’s last tattoo
No more on life’s parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few

On Fame’s Eternal Camping Ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead."

The poem is actually on plaques around the cemetery. Gettysburg also uses this poem at their cemetery.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say there are a lot of great layouts posted here. I started scrapbooking back in August and will make my first Disney album when we get back. I'll try to be brave enough and post some of my pages here.

Here's another for me today.. all digi. All papers and elements are by Emily Farnworth for Polkadotpotato.com .
TFL!

 

[KimAshton]

I am trying digital right now and i hate it. LOL. I guess it takes time.

 

[Caitsmama]

Kim, it does take time, but if you are like me, once it "clicks" you will love it!

 

[KimAshton]

Well I tried a very simple 8x8 page. the text looked better in photoshop though but oh well. I am not printing it out. It feels like it is missing something in the top right but then again when I put something there I hated it. LOL.
