Well everyone knows that I have been a huge scrapbooker for the past 13 years since I was 15 years old. I love touching paper and pictures in my hand. I love going to the store and buying fun supplies. I am so blessed to be able to scrapbook for my job for the last 6 years. Everyone has always asked if I would ever get into digital scrapbooking and my answer had alwasy been "No way." Well never say never! The last 6 weeks I have been in an intense online training class learning Photoshop CS4 which is a complicated, mind turning program that is the most professional editing system on the market. (If you are interested, a great alternative in complexity and price is Photoshop Elements 8) I have learned sooooo many cool things and am shocked at how much I really enjoy digital scrapbooking. There is nothing cooler than laying in bed, watching reality TV, and scrapbooking on your laptop. I thought I would miss "touching" my supplies and having them in my hand. Nope. I feel completely creative and inspired simply by looking at files on my hard drive. I feel like I can express more of my personality in a digital page because I have so much more to work with besides paper, ribbon and brads. The possibilities are simply endless. And come on, I LOVE not having a mess to clean up when I am done with my project! I can't say that I will clean out my scrap room anytime soon because there will always be a use and love for that in my life but for now, I'm going digital! Here are some of my layouts at I completed in my training that I thought I would share!
