One More

Okay- I had to throw one more layout up here. This is my little cutie (posted the photo a few months back on this blog) and a new digital scrapbook design. All accents & backgrounds are made by me and will soon be available on our new website. What d'ya think? Thanks for looking!

Feeling Scrappy

So in case you are wondering if I am a scrapbooker . . . the answer is yes. I have been a scrapbooker for the past 17 years ("well" over half my life!) and my personal style/ technique has made the journey from sticky pages and cute sticker decor, to brightly colored 8.5x11 cardstock, to 12x12 ultra-textured & 3-D embellished pages and then . . .

I became a mother of two. I did keep up with all of the scrapping through college and the first few years of marriage and motherhood, but keeping up with the paper scrappin' is downright impossible when you shoot as many pictures as I do. What to do? Will my first child have bragging rights about her beautiful scrapbooks and the other two will have to search for "the missing years" of their life histories?

Hopefully not, as their photographed & journaled memories do exist somewhere (on my computer). I am a huge photoshop fan (I own 3 versions and am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my CS3 Creative Suite from the UPS guy!!) and I'm a completely digital photographer nowadays. What could be a better solution than

DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING?!?

I could officially be the next spokesperson for digital scrapbooking. This is the direction that scrapbooking is going, thanks to a revolution in digital photography, online printing and awesome digital scrapbooking product designers. We are currently working on launching our digital scrapbooking products on a sister site to studiocharm.com and I can hardly wait.

So here is M. and a real (digital) page from an outing last week. Enjoy the sneak peak of some fun digi products to be featured on our digital scrapbooking site.

{BTW, I LOVE this baby!}

Precioso!!

These little ones start out so tiny . . . and photographing little C. made it seem as if my own DS instantly grew 8 inches and put on 10 pounds. I have been so anxious to share some photos of C. at one and a half weeks. Meet this precious newborn!

{More snoozin. He kept on sleeping through the WHOLE session. I wish I could get in a nap like that once in a while!}

{She's got the whole world in her hands. This is one of my top picks from the session- it just does something for me being so sweet and simple.}
