Digital scrapbooking process video today - talking about recolouring digital elements. (5x8 layout using the new Watch Story Kit by Ali Edwards). #Video #AliEdwards #DigitalScrapbooking #DigitalTips

I love this project, started by Ali Edwards (HERE). I've made about five WITL albums over the years and treasure them. I don't participate every year - happy to leave a year or two between them - but I love what I have. I was going to sit this one out (I made a cute 3x8 album last year) - to be honest, I just wasn't in the photo-taking mood. But with all the excitement around this project I started to get some serious FOMO and tried to think of a way I could make it work this

Today I've got a video of some real-time digital scrapbooking using digital journal cards in layouts (rather than pocket projects). The first page uses a 3x4 journal card from Paislee Press' Autumn Vibes Journal Card set available at The Lily Pad (HERE). The other two projects use 3x8 journal cards from Geralyn at In A Creative Bubble -the Remember set (HERE) and the Delightful set (HERE). Her full 3x8 collection can be found (HERE). I am so happy that digital designers are

I've been planning a series of post for digital scrapbooking beginners but the scope is so large I just thought I'd dive in with a video about using digital templates, which is an awesome way to learn. A QUICK NOTE ON SOFTWARE: I use Photoshop Elements (PSE) for all of my scrapbooking (even though I also have Photoshop as part of my Adobe subscription). PSE is a more simplified version of Photoshop with less features but I have always found PSE to do everything I need. It is

Happy December - we are underway! I'm enjoying the 3x8 size so far. I just have to remember that I need tall + narrow photos if I'm doing a full-page. I never plan out my project or make foundation pages beyond choosing a size and buying a few digital kits. I find that once I make my first day's spread, it sets the tone for my project and I feel much better about where I'm headed. (I have a post with the digital products I'm planning to use here). The first of December is the

To finish off my recent series of posts (start HERE) about scrapbooking & Lightroom, I've made a video just going through the process. #DigitalTips #Lightroom

Sometimes I need to pare things down and get back to basics. This hobby can feel overly complicated and if I've been away from it for a bit, I can feel like I forgot how to do it. I had been looking at this little icon on Spotify and thinking I must make a page about this playlist I've been listening to lately at my desk. Just a little story. I always start these hybrid pages in Photoshop Elements, just so I can see where everything will fit. I start with a 6x8 canvas and dra

I made this simple 6x8 digital layout this morning about our family roller-skating adventures. It is a simple design - a black and white photo, a journal card (cut down to just the title) and two elements from the kit. I've had this photo since Christmas - I love when you open a kit and know exactly the story you want to tell. TIP FOR THE DAY: It's easy to cut down digital elements like journal cards in Photoshop Elements. Just make sure you have the element selected in the l
