First Digital Scrapbook Page Ever (2nd post today)

I have yet to start on a scrapbook for my youngest son who is now in his freshman year at college.  I decided to try my hand at a digital scrapbook with the help of Celeste (a very long time cyber friend) at Touched By A Butterfly and using My Memories Version 4.  I have seen no tutorials, but the program is user friendly.

There are a lot of freebie files to help with the digital scrapbooking.  So until I know what I'm doing, I will use "freebie" stuff before making any purchases.  I used a freebie file from Zena's Place.  Lucky for me she used the same colors as my son's school colors.

Again...this is my first ever...so be nice...haha

12x12, but I also did a 8.5x11 for digital frame

  5. You are a brave woman! I have toyed with the idea of digital scrapbooking, but I think I love my paper too much.

    Your page turned out great. Your son is a handsome young man!

  7. You and I are enjoying our Sunday ( I have posted twice as well)! In between watching the football playoffs and crafting, I am checking in with my friends. Love your digital page. I bought the MDS software from SU over black Friday weekend and love it, it is also user friendly and I have loved being able to merge my images with the Cameo. Your son is handsome and you are so right about the colors being perfect. Great job! I also love your Hello Kitty gift, you are so very clever. I hope to be able to use my Cameo as well as you someday.
    Enjoy the rest of the day.
    hugs...

  10. It looks great, Cely! Even as a seasoned digital scrapper, I still use templates and pre-designed layouts - they're a fantastic way to put together memories!
    Can't wait to see the next one!

  12. I am so happy to hear that there are others who are just as far behind as I am in my scrapbooking. My own children's lives have never been scrapped and the last 2 grandchildren are now 2 and 4 mos. and not the first page has been done. I guess we're too busy "making" the memories to "scrap" them!

  14. No need to be "nice", Cely -- this is a magnificent layout! I'd never share with you my first scrapbook page. lol I think a year or so after I did it, I took it apart and re-did the whole thing. That first layout was so busy, I'm afraid the 2 photos got completely buried. :-D Yours are wonderfully framed and the eye just goes right to them. I love your cheering crowd of graduates at the bottom!

  16. I have seriously been considering doing this for my girls. I wanted to do "paper" scrapbooks, but don't see that happening. So, you have these layouts....then what? Print them out? Do you find this as satisfying as a traditional scrapbook?

  17. Good for you!!! Not much of a scrapbooker here, but sure wish I was! Love it!
