So here is my project for the blog hop

For me, as the kids get bigger, the days get shorter. I don't have the time to pull out the big guns (Cricut, Big Shot, etc) and make embellishments and just scrapbook til my heart is content. So what do I do? Take a ton of pictures, share them on Facebook...if I remember, and then look at said pictures down the road, wishing I had done something with them.

Now with modern technology, I am sure you heard of Digital Scrapbooking or Project Life.  I was hesitant to try something else new because of the money that I have spent over the years.  But with a computer and one FREE photo software, I am able to do my version of digital scrapbooking/PL. The best thing is I can download my layouts on a digital photo frame or even take them to the drug store and print them out without breaking the bank or spending a lot of time.

The program I used for this layout is PicMonkey.

Hope this inspires all the busy Moms out there, from one mom to another!

    great job Sandy! I am a big fan of digital scrapbooking too! I have made about 10 digital albums so far. I use the old Creative Memories program but I am going to upgrade to the Panstoria version soon. I don't do the PL version though. I do sometimes print a digital page to stick in my traditional album, too. I have also printed a digital layout and added traditional items and created a hybrid and even sometimes framed them...so many possibilities! I am planning a couple of digital projects in the next few weeks. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and keep it up! It is great way to get a lot done but can be very creative too!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.
