So after the post a few ago, I was wandering around online, looking to change my blog design, when I wandered on to a site for digiscrapbooking. I started downloading bits and pieces to use in web design and I ran across one site, http://tempusfug.blogspot.com/ that offered a vintage pack free if you used one of their other free packs and sent them a layout. Well, I've never scrapbooked before, there were always too many pieces that my kids would probably swallow and most of my pictures are on the computer anyways. Also, as much as I loved to look at all the pretty stuff in the scrapbooking isle, it just was a little too pricey for me. But this is a lot of fun! There are no little pieces to have to put away, no special glue, and if you make a mistake, all you have to do is hit the undo button.
The picture is my first page. It's of Ben's first skate on real ice skates. He went out on Boxing Day with my dad and Katia, the little girl from the Ukraine that my parents are looking to adopt. I kinda like how it turned out, but if any of my six readers out there know how to scrapbook and can give me some pointers and constructive criticism, I would appreciate it! I think I may have finally found an outlet for all my frustrated creativity that caused the post a few back, finally!
P.S. I used a program that I downloaded at Paint.net (for FREE!!!) to arrange everything because I'm too cheap to buy photoshop. :)

I'm a scrapbook finatic. The only advice you need is to think of your page in triangles and circles. All your pictures and decorations should draw your eye to a corner of the page or to the center of the page. If I could draw you a diagram to explain better, I would. I'll post copies of some of my layouts some time. We can trade idea's online!
PS. I love the new page.
Thanks! :)
