more digi LOVE
As you know I've recently discovered my love for digi scrapbooking. And let me explain just WHY that is...
Like you...I'm a busy gal. I have three kids, a man and a house to keep just to name the three biggies of the multitude of responsibilities I juggle. But I won't lie...I CRAVE the opportunity to be creative. It is however, STIFLED when I think (sometimes) of the ordeal it is to create a cut and paste-paper layout. I know that I'll probably pull out 20 sheets of paper, which will then explode into a mass of supplies and end up looking like a tornado blew through my space! Not to mention that I love a challenge...love to learn something new. It keeps me (creatively speaking) on my toes and INSPIRED. What about you?
Does that Top 10 list look familiar? The thing that is totally AWESOME about digital scrapbooking...is that you can do things that you simply can't with paper scrapbooking. (like put THREE BIG HONKING VINTAGE FRAMES ON ONE PAGE! LOL) That's why I absolutely love this...and this. I think it is more affordable too. You can pick up Adobe Photoshop Elements for around $75 most of the time. And some digi products are FREE (yes I said free) --but most are just a few dollars for a kit FULL of goodies.
My
challenge for you this week:
Work a little digi magic for yourself...or peruse some digi artist galleries for some fresh inspiration.
