Valentine Layout

Here is a digital layout I did using one of Hillary Heidelberg's final templates. Unfortunately, Hillary has closed her store at Scrapbook Graphics due to family commitments. I will miss being inspired by her clean, well-designed templates.

I actually did "love" script myself, using my Wacom tablet for the first time for handwriting.

Back to Normal Life

Now that all my treatments are done, I'm trying to get back to my normal life. That includes returning to Hillary Heidelberg's digital creative team at ScrapbookGraphics. It feels great to be creating with Hillary's awesome templates again! Here are two pages from the latest template sets:





I love how quick and easy it is to get photos scrapped using these templates.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Spring is a hectic time around our house -- there are reports, overnight field trips, school plays, and science projects. Charlotte went on a 3-day field trip to Kartchner Caverns, and Sophie was (one of several) Juliette's in her class "Shakespeare in the Park" production.

Charlotte, her grandfather, and I took some time out to go shoot pictures of the Dave Chihuly glass sculpture exhibit at the botanical gardens. Charlotte was a hit with the other attendees, doing whatever it took to get the shot, including lying on the ground. (I wonder who she gets that from...)

Here is a digital layout using some of my photos and a template from Studio Hillary at Scrapbook Graphics:

The Desert Museum

Here is proof that fun was had on the Girl Scout camp out a few weeks ago, despite the drama.

I had forgotten how lush the desert is in Tucson. It really was beautiful, and we got to get up close and personal with a lot of different animals.


This layout uses another great template from Hillary Heidelberg at Scrapbookgraphics.

Two-Pagers

Here are some 2-page layouts I have done based on Hillary Heidelberg's templates at Scrapbook Graphics. I love 2-pagers because you can capture so many more photos, and Hillary's templates are a quick, easy way to get them done with great results.





And last but not least, there is one more pet who is running for MVP to vote for!

Kids with Cell Phones: The Layout

The photos from the last post have made it onto a scrapbook page. (Much quicker than normal, too!) That's because I used one of the great templates from Hillary Heidelberg at scrapbook graphics.com. It's so easy, it almost feels like cheating. If you've been thinking about dabbling in digital scrapbooking, a template is a great way to do it!

Digi Templates

I hadn't really used digital templates until Hillary asked me to use hers at her new online store at ScrapbookGraphics.

I couldn't beleive how fun (and easy!) it was to use them. The basic design is done for you, but you can add you own touch by choosing whatever paper and embellishments you want. Here are a couple of layouts I did using Hillary's templates:
