Wild Sea, Wild Life Digital Scrapbook Layout

(click on image to view a larger version)

A couple of weeks ago I spent several days in Pacific Grove, CA. (next-door to Monterey Bay) at a scrapbooking get-together. We stayed at the Asilomar Conference Center, which is right on the coast. I took my bike and managed to get out twice for nice rides along the coast. Of course, my camera always went along and, on my first ride I was treated to several sightings of the local deer.

I just love the juxtaposition of the ocean on one side of the street and, right on the other side, deer browsing in people's front yards!

The totally cool thing about digital scrapbooking as opposed to traditional? No waiting to get photos developed! As soon as I got back to the workroom I downloaded my photos onto my laptop and created the above two-page layout.

Done!

Sneak Preview - FIRST Webajeb Digital Kit!

I'm so excited!! I'm creating my FIRST digital scrapbooking kit. It's been very fun so far! I have no real "plan" as to what will be included in the kit; I'm just kind of creating papers, and as I create the papers ideas of elements and word art are popping into my head. My fave way to work. Just going where my creativity takes me.

The above paper is a sneak peek. This will be one of the papers in the kit which I've tentatively named "Fresh As." I feel really inspired by the recent rain which is bringing out full force the bright greens, yellows, and oranges of a northern California spring.

I'm also playing with styles, overlays, textures, and filters in Photoshop; experimenting and exploring until I stumble on combinations that I like. I do hope you'll like them, too.

There will be a freebie associated with this kit, which will be posted on my blog (most likely tomorrow), then the kit will be offered for sale here on my blog and also on my website.

Subscribe to my blog so you can be one of the first to get the first Webajeb digi-kit!

Digital Scrapbook Layout-My Cat

One of my own personal digital scrapbook layouts that I've been working on recently:

My cat, Scout, who thinks she "owns" my office and everything in it (of course, that's pretty much true). Trouble is she refuses to even try to understand why it's not a good thing to sit on my keyboard!

Gorgeous Digital Portrait Page Layouts

Some photos are just too special to simply frame as is.

They deserve a little something "extra," like the technique I used to create this soft-focus, double-image effect. It looks great with either black-and-white or color photos.

I can do this for you!

Just send me your extra-special photo(s) via e-mail or my photo dropbox (click here for contact info). I'll apply this **technique, print your 8x10 portrait page on high-quality, high-gloss photo paper, and mail it to you, for the all-inclusive price of $12.00 each. I'll even convert your color photo to black-and-white, if you like, at no extra charge.

If your favorite photo is already printed, you can snail-mail it to me (click here for mailing address) and I'll scan it into digital format, again at no extra charge. I'll return your original photo to you unchanged in any way.

**This technique works best on portrait-style photos without distracting backgrounds.**

You can pay easily via Paypal, even it you don't have a Paypal account. Simply go to the Paypal website, click the "Send Money" button, enter my email address (found here), your email address, and the amount, and click "Send." Then follow the directions to either log into your Paypal account OR enter a credit card number.

These portrait page layouts make wonderful gifts. Order today!

(Added 02/05/09 11:29 PST) NOTE!!! My offering Obama-related digital papers and elements is NOT an expression of my political views. These have been created in response to customer requests in light of recent events in our country and MAY, or may NOT, reflect my own personal views. Please! No political commentary in the comments section! Especially derogatory ones! It's bad karma.
