I used Mindy's actions (http://www.mindysphotoactions.blogspot.com/)to color correct the bike photo and I love it.

I used the Digital Scrapbook Memories "In the Mood" CD for these layouts. (http://www.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/ourProducts.asp)

[Leora]

I'll play...here are a few of my most recent layouts:

[Barb]

Gorgeous stuff, Leora! Are you all digie now or are these hybrid. I really can't tell (and isn't that the ultimate compliment?). They're wonderful!

Kel ~ really cool project!

April ~ classic and wonderful as ever!

[Leora]

ohh...those are SUPER COOL, Kelly!!

And thanks Barb!! I am pretty much aLL digi but occasionally do a hybrid. The ones above are all digi. :)

[Brittany]

Oh wow, ladies! These are ROCKIN awesome layouts! Serously, I love 'em all. :)

[brookiewookie]

These are all fabulous layouts! Thanks for sharing! I'm still trying to figure out how to insert an image into a post. So maybe I'll come back and do this later. :)

[Jill]

here are my newest.

[Jill]

This is the first thing I have ever posted in my whole life! I am feeling pretty proud of myself right now!

[April]

Jill! Congratulations on your first post. Make sure to write about this in your journal or better yet scrapbook this event :) Great layout. The pictures are fun and the flower with the text around it is really a great idea.

Kelly, I love how simple and clean this layout is. It's very powerful because of that. No wonder these magazines love you.

Leora, you are so talented! You do such an amazing job with so little. I love how your pages aren't over crowded but are still so powerful. Wow!

[Leora]

:) thanks April!! I appreciate the kind words!

And CONGRATs Jill!! :) Great layouts...love the clean design of them!

[Jill]

Thanks Leora! It is always great when you master, (or at least make a fair attempt at) a new skill :) Now i just need to attempt an avatar.

And Kelly, I loved your page! What a fun idea to scrapbook something that makes you happy. I am working on doing more pages of things that I like or dislike instead of always just people. Thanks for the inspriation!

[Angie I]

This is my first layout with digital. I learned a few things on Saturday that helped me out. I hope to learn more!!!

All of the layouts posted here are so nice. I hope to get some inspiration here!!! Hopefully I will be able to get as talented as all of you!!!:) Angie I.

[Jill]

Brooke, I would love to know how you folded the corner down on your page. I have tried a few tutorials and can't make it look that good. Would you mind sharing?
Jill

[lisa]

I'm really enjoying digital scapbooking. Here are a couple of mine.

[Leslie]

April,

The recipe swap at the Scrapbooking Class on Saturday was a lot of fun. I loved the variety of layouts and great recipes!

:) 41

[April]

Gorgeous Brooke! You are obviously VERY talented! You have a great eye for color and design.

Lisa, what I can see looks great! Just so you know... the attached thumbnails are for you to click on and see bigger images. Your attached images are small. Next time I would recommend saving the files bigger (but under 107K). When you attach them our site will automatically make your thumbnail smaller. Clear as mud?

Mom (aka Leslie) You know I love your page! It blew me away the first time I saw it. It's so cool that my mom has finally decided that scrapbooking is cool. The colors and design of your page are very very impressive (your rolls are delicious too).

[Angie I]

Wow! Brookiewookie those layouts are so nice. How do you do the stitching. I did not see anything on the tips page about that and I am dying to try it. Is it a brush (which I know nothing about those) or a effect or something? And the drop shadows are perfect--how do you do that? I know sooo many questions. Sorry.:o Your pages look soo realistic like they were done with real paper and stuff--I love that look. Angie i.

[April]

Angie, the stitching isn't something that is easy to create yourself. Brooke used stitching from a different company.

The drop shadows are easiest in the full version of Photoshop - you have a lot more flexibility in the full version vs. Elements. There are ways in every version of photoshop to adjust the shadows. If you have Elements look in you layers palette (after you have added a shadow) and you will see a little circle with a fancy f on the layer you added the shadow to. Click on that and that will give you options to adjust your shadow.

Jill, the folded down paper is also fairly complex. We have a bunch of those coming in our new CD though.

[Jill]

So after a dry spell in creativity I forced myself to get thinking again. This is what I came up with. My son just turned 2 and the look on his little face says it all as far as how that is going.:eek:

April- I am way excited for the new CD. Any ideas when it will be out yet?

Hope everyone is well!

[April]

Very very cute Jill! It's so fun to see your layouts.

The new CD should be out by the scrapbook expo as long as we don't have any problems.

[Misty]

I ditched paper 4 years ago and went straight digital. I was just introduced to Digital Scrapbook Memories last month when I went to the class. I got some of the cd's and just used them for the layouts below. I found some pictures of snow at my house then my kids swimming 5 days later. Once I realized they were only 5 days apart, I decided to put them in the same layout. Here they are...

[April]

Wahooo! Go Misty. Welcome to the board. How crazy those pictures were 5 days apart. Crazy!

[Jill]

Those are beautiful Misty! I really love how you put the picture of the snowy day inside the circle. That was a neat effect! Cute stuff and grreat inspiration!:D

Jill

Sorry it has taken me so long to answer, Jill! April pretty much answered it, though. I don't know how to get a realistic enough folded effect by myself, so I've bought some folded templates to help me out! :)

I use PSE 4.0. About the shadows, I always tweak them in Layer--->Layer styles--->Style Settings by changing the lighting angle to the desired effect, and also I make the shadow distance way lower than the default, usually between 3-8. I usually also go back into Layer--->Layer styles--->Scale Effects and move the slider until I like it. I try to mimic the look of paper scrapping so I try to make the shadows look realistic.

HOpe this is helpful!!!

[brookiewookie]

Oh, and CUTE layouts everyone! I love looking at all the different styles, they all look great!!!

[blmcewan]

Hope this thread is still active, here are some of the pages we've been working on at our house:

Although these photos had low resolution (from the digital camcorder) the page still turned out fairly well when printed 8x8:

[Angela Spangler]

Here's one I did recently. I just went with it and had a blast creating this page.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v716/ASpangler/Scrapbook%20Layouts/GentleSoul1.jpg

[April]

blmcewan - fun pages. I love the difference between the two. You can totally start to see their personalities with this. Fun. We are totally into Buzz Lightyear over here too. Disney has the most awesome free Buzz Lightyear game on their site. I think it's called Astro Blasters. It's like the ride at Disneyland.

Angela, that picture is so sweet. What a great layout.

[Becky O]

Beautiful work!
Very motivating, I need to get on my 'puter some more, haven't digi'd in a while and you guys are making me itchy for it!
B-

[Becky O]

I got to play on my computer today!
The elements are all my crazy, random thoughts, and I just wanted to try them on for size, LOL!
I have tons to learn about digi product design, and this little jumping off point taught me tons!
No laughing (unless you really want to, then oh well, what can I do about it :D )
B-

[April]

What a fun title Becky! I love it. Great layout. How cool is she to learn something new when she's bored rather than sit and watch tv. Good for her. Totally cute layout.

[Becky O]

Thanks April!
Yesterday was Creme Puffs with the homemade custard, and english breakfast scones! If I eat everything she learns to make, I will end up being the creme puff!
She is a funny girl!

[April]

Yesterday was Creme Puffs with the homemade custard, and english breakfast scones!

Seriously??? How cool! Tell her I am so proud of her. What a great use of her time. Sure... maybe she should be making salads or veggie dishes but I'm impressed that she is using her time to learn new things.

Becky - I was SO EXCITED to meet you today. I'm glad I got to chat with you for a short time in person.

[Becky O]

April!
It was so great to get to meet you, I would have loved to have visited with you for hours, you are so interesting!
It is so fun getting to meet people that you know from the MB community it is part of that whole connectedness (is that a word, LOL!) thing ya know!
Anyway, have a great evening!
B-

[April]

I know. I love meeting people in person. It makes talking on the MBs so much more fun. You are great Becky. Hope to see you again soon.

[Becky O]

Thanks April and back atcha!
I do hope we will get to visit again soon, that would be so nice!
Oh and have fun with that little gizmo you went home with ;)

Amy, so DARLING!

[April]

Amy, you have such a unique style. Very very very cool. I love it.

[DeborahMomof2]

Erin that is so cute!
Love those colors together and the pic is darling!

[April]

I love that one Erin! Those flowers look so good with that background.

[Jill]

I thought I posted this before but I can't find it anywhere. So if this is a repeat, sorry.
Anyway, Erin I love that page. Simple is the way for me. I think simple lets the pictures tell more of the story. I love it and the color scheme. Cute stuff! Here are a couple of my newest. The farm one was a challenge to myself for my photoshop skills. I really wanted to make a collage in a shape.

So let's talk about credits. How important are they and what do you do if you can't remember where they came from?

[Angie I]

Jill
Great layouts! I love how you used the shape. It turned out great! I find I am stuck in the square or rectangle phase--kinda makes everything look the same. I need to venture out!! Here are some I have done this week. Angie I

[April]

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your layouts Jill and Angie.

Jill that big circle is really neat. I love those pictures on the "Walk the Dog" layout and I love how well they coordinate with the paper. Very cool.

Angie! I love them!!! I'm always into the squares and rectangles too. Both pages are super cute but I especially love the simpleness of the second. The picture is awesome and I love how it stands out. Way cute title too.

[alb52]

here's a new one from me (here (http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/pg.asp?gallery=1&cmd=display&layout_id=1131795))... actually managed some scrap time - YIPPIE!

http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/layouts/layout_images/1131795.jpg

[April]

You are amazing Amy!!! I love your style. I could never pull that off.

[sevenupps]

These pages are all amazing! It's so cool to be inspired by such talent!

[sevenupps]

Here's one from me using the Playground. I am so in love with these designs!

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w36/huppencamp/Girlie-Girl-copy-web.jpg

[Angie I]

This is a layout I just finished. I used digital scrapbook memories cds for most of it.

I love all of your styles! I am trying to merge out of the squares theme. Angie I.

[sevenupps]

Wow Angie! Great page. Love that large photo and the colors in this collection are perfect for it!

[April]

Heather!!! I love that page! Thanks for sharing. I love how you organized everything on the page. You are so good! Your layout is gorgeous at first sight and even more fun when you stop to really look at all the detail.

Angie - Very very cute! You have picked this up so fast! That circle with the two pictures below is perfect! It looks so good. The colors are great on this page. Great job!

[elise]

Wow! These pages are great! Heather, I am going to try and copy parts of your layout. I doubt I'll do near as good though. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Jill]

I love that page Angie! The close up picture is beautiful. And the colors are great. I may have to steal that page for myself! It makes me wish it would finally warm up around here.

[Erin]

Angie! Your lay out is way cute for your first! Are you converted yet or what? I love Digi!

[Angela Spangler]

Here's one I got done today...

[April]

Fun Angela! Do you frame some of these for your house? They look like they shouldn't just be in books.

[Stephanie]

I sure love this page... that lake is one of the most beautiful things on this earth. [sigh] How I love the Uinta mountains!

[April]

What a gorgeous picture. Ooooh! It makes me want to go swimming right now.

[Erin]

That'll be fun to have that gallery!
