Shabby Princess Digital Scrapbooking Challenge

I absolutely love Shabby Princess scrapbooking supplies. They are the first website I found with free digital kits - I have downloaded all of them, and that is where I turn when I find myself in a rut. Their supplies are just so gorgeous!

Every month they have a 'template challenge.' It's great for beginners like me, because you get to download a free template to work with, and the winner is random, not based on your page.

This month I couldn't resist doing a page on Cadence's new sweater. Unfortunately, I couldn't choose just two photos, so I altered the template a little ;)

Here is the original template. To download it or find out more information about Shabby Princess or their challenges, just click on the picture. 

Free Digital Scrapbooking Template

Whew - It's been a while! I haven't been doing much of anything since James was born, but I made this template to use on some of my pictures and thought I might as well share. Click on the image to download the template.

Here is what I did with it - apparently I can't ever leave a template unaltered, even if I'm the one who made it, and even if I made it with specific details in mind. Sigh.

Matchbook Scrapbook - Hybrid Project

This was a fun gift idea I saw somewhere. The brag book is the same basic shape as a matchbook, although I changed the layout a bit so the pages wouldn't fall out. I did the pages digitally, then printed and assembled.

I also made some little note sheets in a matchbook style: 

Paint 'n Gears - Free Scrapbooking Kit

Hello - long time no post! This summer has been pretty crazy, but somewhere along the way I started playing around with this kit, and finally finished it :) It's based on a dress my daughter has, my husband said it looked like a smock, so I made a painting themed kit to scrapbook some pictures of her painting. To download the kit, just click here.

There are more elements than are shown here, mostly variations and different colors of the same ones.

Here are some pages I just made for her using this kit:

A Free Scrapbooking Template

I made this fun page using freebies from the Sunny Daffodils blog train. I had so much fun creating the template before I started, I thought I would share.

Discovering Digital Scrapbooking

Nonnie made this dress a long, long time ago. When we found out we were having a girl, Mommy kindly gifted us with this dress. I was so excited Cadence grew into it just in time for Easter!

I am loving this digital scrapbooking thing. I'm not very good at it yet, but it's something I can quietly do without making a mess! These are brag book pages I made for Tony and I - enjoy! (The supplies are not ones I designed, they were free on the internet from various sources.)
