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!

Okay.. so I am totally one of those "no way" girls when it comes to going digital, but it is starting to sound more appealing... :) I wish I had a job where someone would teach me how to do it!
I am so impressed. I wish I had made photoshop skills. Maybe someday...
You just keep convincing me of the whole digital scrapbooking program. I can't wait to get started.

Hey Erin, I found your blog through Lisa's blog...hope you don't mind. Anyways, I love your digital scrapbook pages. I own photoshop cs3 and have learned so much on it...and have lots to learn. The one thing I haven't really done on it is the layout pages. I know just a little about that part of it. I would love for you to show me sometime...I'll show you what I know as well, if you'd like:) Anyways, your blog is way cute and you do a great job at it.

Hey thanks for the comment on my blog. I have a Nikon D200. I love it! We should totally get together, and Barton and Troy would love to play. Let me know...
So do you still use the Stampin' Up digital scrapbook program or just photoshop or both?
You are so good at everything you do! I can already tell you are amazing at digital too! I need some pointers!
