Scraplifter's Challenge

I completed this page for the scraplifter's challenge on www.freedigitalscrapbooking.com . Each month they post a new template and draw a winner from the submissions. I thought it would be a good way for me to challenge myself to learn some new techniques each month. The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to round the corners on the pictures. I'll leave that till another day.

Digital Scrapbooking

Jeff gave me digital scrapbooking software for Christmas. I've been busily downloading every free embelishment I can find online and created this page. I was a little frustrated at not being able to immediately create every effect that popped into mind, there seems to be a learning curve but I was satisfied with the final product. I ordered this page as a sample so I can see what it looks like in print before doing more. At this point it didn't take less time than doing a physical layout but I love the portability.

A wardrobe fit for a princess

From the pictures you might guess that we are expecting a girl, my little "beanette". She is going to be one well dressed little lady. I am incredibly thankful for sisters and hand me downs! Without Carla my maternity wardrobe and my baby collection would be sadly lacking. No chance of that, this little one isn't going to know what to do when one day she has to wear an outfit twice before out growing it. I might have to put a sunday dress on her to go to the grocery store just so she gets to wear them all...or maybe not.

I've been feeling her kick more and more and while I was sorting the clothes I just couldn't wait until the day I get to hold this little baby I'm already in love with. It is such a relief to have these feelings after all the anxiety of the first trimester.
