It doesn’t mean I have to put all the mess away, or pray no one bumps my page in progress. But, the nice thing about digital scrapbooking is that I can do just that – scrap in between life’s little interruptions. The days of quiet solitude while I scrap are long gone.

Sat down, opened up my software to see where I’d left off, and before you know it, I’d managed to do six pages! That, along with, feeding kids, retrieving dogs who are escaping their invisible fence, troubleshooting my mom’s email account, answering the phone, well, you get the picture. After all, it’s been months since I’ve scrapbooked and I’m still working on 2010 pictures, for Pete’s sake. It just wasn’t in me.Īnd then, I thought to myself that even though I didn’t “feel creative” I should just sit down and piddle a little with the pictures and see if I got inspired. Alas, life did not go according to plan, and neither did my muse. I had high hopes of scrapbooking this past week – or at least getting some scrapbooking in during the past three days. If any of you are using the CM software, let me know what you think! I’ll continue to play around and try to get a review posted soon. That was one of my biggest headaches with the old CM software because I have A LOT of digital content. No more creating packages and all that jazz. I just pointed the software to the folder where all my digital content is and presto! it was available in the software. One of the things I have discovered that I REALLY love is the fact that it handles all my non-CM content so much better than before. I can’t wait to spend more time in the software and play around a bit. Lots more power, lots more flexibility but the same user friendliness that CM products are known for. It is the best of the old SBC+ and Photoshop Elements all in one. I downloaded the newest version of Creative Memories’ StoryBook Creator(4.0) and am in love. The other four pages I can’t remember if I shared with you already or not, so I thought I’d share them today. I did manage to do a tiny little bit of scrapbooking last weekend – I got two pages (somewhat) done – think I may tweak them a little more before I’m finished with them, but thought I’d share with you anyway. I kinda sorta have a plan, but really am leaving it open as it will depend a lot on how I’m feeling. I’m on the second round of antibiotics now and am starting to finally feel more like myself again. It came on rather suddenly and pretty much knocked me off my feet for a week. I have been sick with a rotten case of bronchitis for the past week. Sorry for the silence on the blog lately. Scrapbook kit: Simple Stories Digital collections (Say Cheese & Say Cheese 2) Who knows? I may actually scrapbook again. I have a lot of pictures to go through, but I’m having FUN and enjoying it again. I’m planning to do more this weekend, so hopefully I will make good progress. I managed to make it as far as our first “official” day in the park.
So yesterday, while we watched movies as a family, I set up my laptop in the living room, downloaded some Disney themed digital kits and got to work. I realized that I would not be happy or content with the products they had because I was used to being able to customize my pages with my digital scrapbooking. I uploaded the photos and then started looking at the options online. So then I thought about doing a simple Shutterfly album. And I wasn’t going to print that many pictures only to discard about half or more that wouldn’t make the cut into the album. I wasn’t sure my little 6×8 album could hold all of that. Over 1,000! Between the photos we took and the ones that we had taken by cast members, we have a LOT of photos. And then I looked at how many photos I had. I even purchased a 6×8 album and inserts and Disney-themed décor. So, I have been toying with the idea of a pocket-style scrapbook. To be able to look back on the stories and relive the fun. We had a great trip and I wanted to preserve those memories. I didn’t want them to sit unenjoyed on my hard drive. However, ever since we got back from our Disney trip I have been wanting to do something with those photos. My scrapbooking software has been unopened, and while I have been saving photos, no archiving has been done. My poor scrapbook table sat dusty and unused, becoming a place for the family to pile things that they didn’t want to deal with at the moment. And then I got so far behind that the thought of starting and trying to catch up just was overwhelming. I have fallen off of the memory keeping bandwagon for some time – I got busy with work and life and scrapbooking took time I didn’t have. The first time in, oh, I don’t know how many years. Because I actually SCRAPBOOKED yesterday.
