Scrapbooking tips

My family will understand how funny it is that i am giving scrapbooking tips. That's how easy digital scrapbooking is because I am horrible at being cute and creative and Leanne always had to make my pages cute. She always had the best writing. Anyway here is what I have done. I am sure there are other ways and probably better ways. Once you learn it is sooo easy. I followed these step by step intructions from this site:http://www.sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com/. It really sounds a lot more confusing than it is and once you do it once it is easy. I also bought the fxphoto program to design my scrapbook pages (a lot of people use photoshop-I would like to learn it) I just save them as a picture and upload it as my header. I haven't printed any pages yet. I am working on a book using shutterfly and adding the scrapbook page I design as the picture. The 12 x 12 book is about $50 ($2 a page) but they always have deals. It looked kind of expensive to print the 12 x 12 as individual sheets. It was about $6.50 a sheet. You can print an 8 x 10 for 1.50 or an 8x12 for 1.50. I haven't looked into it very much. Kinkos may be a good option. I will let you know. Also Nate and Katie on my list of friends has some really cute ideas. She designs blogs for people and has some cute new projects also for sale at katiedesign.blogspot.com. It is great to be able to make your own baby announcements, cards, pages, etc if you learn but if you don't want to, she does a really good job. I am still learning but would happy to do anyone's blog if you want me to. Good Luck!
