Elliot's First Dentist Appointment

Elliot and I got to have our teeth cleaned today. We love Samantha. She is definitely the best hygienist ever.


Journaling- "Friday, September 24th, Elliot had his first dentist appointment and teeth cleaning at Dr. Alley’s office. Mommy had her teeth cleaned first and then it was Elliot’s turn. “Samanta”cleaned his teeth and he was so good. He loves Samanta and had a great time talking her ear off, telling her that Monsters don’t really resist. He especially liked pressing the button for the water to swish around the sink that you spit in. He chose grape polish and Dr. Alley said his teeth look good, with good spacing, unlike his mommy’s. He did so well and Samanta cleaned all those sugar bugs off Elliot’s teeth."

Where I am Now...

I am addicted to Cathy Zielski templates and am taking her Me, The Abridged Version class at Big Picture Scrapbooking . I like her simple, more graphic style of scrapbooking and think that I have finally discovered my true style.

My current projects are my Me- The Abridged Version album, and A Book of Letters, Volume 1 for Elliot.


Two of my two page spreads from Elliot's album..



I used the "Dude" kit by Fee Jardine at The Sweet Shoppe
and templates from Cathy Zielski's "Message to My Boy" template pack at Designer Digitals


A couple pages from my "Me- The Abridged Version"




Random recent pages that I used Cathy's templates to create






So there's my scrapbook history. Now to make more...

Digi Scrap History Continued...

Around April or May I discovered templates by Cindy that I loved. The first page below is using one of her kits. This is also when I started discovering more Scrapbook shops.

A few of my favorites are
The Sweet Shoppe
Scrap Orchard
Design House Digitals
Designer Digitals
Two Peas in a Bucket


The kit I used was Spring Arrives by Misty Cato and template #24 by Cindy Schneider at The Sweet Shoppe.



Used Hero by Krystal Hartley at The Sweet Shoppe

When I finally dabbled in something other than The Sweet Shoppe at The Scrap Orchard..

Used It's a Journey collaborative kit at Scrap Orchard and PreFABS tagbook template by Studio Dutchie


In July I got to go scrapbooking with my great friend Debbie for 24 hours, and she showed me Creative Memories digital scrapbooking. I got some really great ideas there and did a few.
One of my layouts using the Creative Memories Storybook Creator software


Tomorrow I will finish up with where I am now and with a simple style, that I love!!!

The Sweet Shoppe was my home for digital scrapbooking for a couple of months, before I realized there were at least 100 digital scrapbook stores out there around international Scrapbook Day in early May. I still love The Sweet Shoppe, but glad to have some different styles in scrapbooking, to choose from, at other shops.

Where Have I Been?

I have been scrapbooking. About 6 or 7 months ago I got really serious about digital scrapbooking and ended up abandoning my blog. Unfortunately I am not very good at multi-tasking. The scrapbooking addiction began as a result of breastfeeding my newborn. In the first few months I was spending 5-7 hours a day nursing, and I really needed something to do while feeding Alex. My mom gave me a laptop for Christmas and that is how it began. With my computer on a small table next to my nursing chair, I was able to create. Maybe I am a multi-tasker. So I have decided to take my blogging in a different direction and share my daily stories in my digital scrapbook pages.
