Okay, so I’ve not been doing ANY scrapbooking this week – too busy with my bum on the lounge watching the Olympics, but I thought I’d share some recent layouts.
Still working on some digital ones. I quite enjoy it but think hybrid scrapbooking might be more my thing -esp as I can only make 6×6 or 8.5×11 digital pages, and then have to wait to have them printed!
As my long term readers will know I’ve been wanting to try digital scrapbooking for a few years. Finally I saw a real opportunity with Renee Pearson’s Just the Basics class. Class started last week. I immediately discovered we had Photoshop Elements 5 and I needed 6,7 or 8 for class. Kevin finally got me version 6 so today I was able to complete week 1 (just in time for week 2 to arrive). Having Renee talk it through step by step is wonderful and just what I needed. I watched the videos, then listened to them while I followed on PSE (switching back and forth as need). The result 2 digital layouts that I am rather proud of, even if it’s so totally not my normal style. The theme was robots but luckily was neutral enough I was able to find photos to go with it.
Who knows in a few weeks I might even be able to complete the few online classes I started that were largely digital!

***** To make it very clear all I added was the photos and title/journalling :-).
I have a bit of a Croc addiction!! Really….I currently have 8 pairs. Kevin and the girls all have 2 pairs as well. So I think it’s safe to say we all love Crocs.
Yesterday I finally got around to scrapbooking our trip to the Croc shop last July – oh, what fun that was. Here is the journalling…
“Okay, I have to confess our family is just a “little” bit obsessed with Crocs. And to say we were a little excited to spot the Croc shop in Perth would be a big understatement. I can still remember Kevin telling me how good they would be for my heel spur – but I thought they were a bit ugly. We eventually all bought a pair for our houseboat holiday in Jan 2007. Once worn I’ve hardly stopped. Indeed they were fab. for the 18 month I suffered with the heel spur. Since that first pair my collection has grown vastly and includes many different style. The girls and Kevin also own a few pairs. I just lOVE them and wear them 90% of the time. They really feel great and because they are comfy I’m happy to leave them on. Oh, to live in the Croc shop!! “
Firstly, if you couldn’t see the photos on yesterday post I believe Kevin has solved the problem for me.
Secondly, I’m obviously not going to get the whole house sorted as I’d hoped but I’m still pleased with the progress I’ve made.
Over the last few days I’ve been working on the scrapbook room. I took out the non-working computer (after giving up waiting for Kevin) and did some re-arranging.

Now that we no longer use this area as a desk area I’m going to look for some more storage to put underneath.
Before : The girls area – used for both the computers and craft!
After:
Before : My area: Yes, I know I did the desk a few weeks back but I didn’t do the shelves !!!!
After: Just realized these shelves still look kind of messy.
The girls and I also went through all these drawers but I won’t bore you with the photos 🙂
