Background Help?!!!

I got my background, but now I have it too small. I can't figure out how to make it fit to page. Help!!!!

War Hero

I will be doing more pages to go with this page, but here is the first of it. Thanks to Kaelira's digiscraps for the template and packet from Twinky. I loved this packet, and it was very fun to use. I cannot wait to use it for more of my pages.

Ice Fishing

Alright, so I made my own layout this time, using no template, but using the cute kit from Digital Scrapbooking-free I found a cute fishing pole online, and then off I went. I am excited I am learning more and more with GIMP!

Making Images Transparent... and just some fun!

Alright, my little boy is just too cute! So I love how this page turned out of his birthday cake. However, I would have liked to make his smilin' pic closer and transparent, but the way the journaling is, I didn't know if I could. Sure, I could have modified the template, but it was such a cute template, I couldn't! By the way, thanks Midnight Scrapbooking for this cute layout!

Desktop Fun

Learning how to Make Titles

I learned how to make a cool title and import it into my QP. I also manipulated my photo and added a paper behind the photo because I didn't like the size of the window for the photo. Yay! This page turned out cute! (I know I keep saying that...) Thanks Raspberry Designs for the QP.

I love Quick Pages

Thanks to SGD for this great Quickpage!

Using the Eraser/ Blender Tool

I learned a bit about blending and erasing. I love this layout!!! Thank you to raspberry road designs for the Clovis the Clown paper and grunge alphabet. I softened my edges and muted my colors on my border. This was a simple layout, and I would love to learn more, but I am so excited about this layout. My little boy looks just like my husband, and these pictures are something I just cherish!!!! Yeah!!! I love digital scrapbooking!

Using a Template

I used this template by Red Leaf DigiScrapping:

And this is how it turned out:
I was so excited to do this! I learned paper layering, image manipulating, how to make a title, and much more! I was so pleased with how thse turned out. This is something I have done with my boys on their monthly birthday to see how they have grown throughout their first year. LOVE THESE!

My Own Paper

On this page, I created my own paper, put together my layout, and added an element, which is not mine. I had no idea I could create my own paper! Very pleased with how this turned out!

Quick Page Layout

A quick page is a page that is all put together, and you just have to add a photo and title. As soon as I figure out where I found these first two QP, I will give credit. Just know, it wasn't me that put them together! I am learning, but not quite yet!

My Very First Digi Page

I would like to fix this a page, but here is my first attempt. Just FYI, I use the program, GIMP, which is a free program you can download online. I would prefer Photoshop, but you can't pass up free! I have actually learned a ton from this program, and it is wildly similar to Photoshop. If you have a PC, you can use PAINT.net, I have heard this is a great program. My sister has Memory Mixers, which you can buy at Roberts. It is $89.00, but if you use your 40% off coupon, you get it pretty cheap. This program is very simple, and you just need to drag and drop. Using Gimp or the other program, you will need to learn a lot about the program. I love this way! It is very exhilarating to learn something new! Enjoy and good luck!

Happy Scrapping!

I have joined the world of gung-ho digital scrapbooking! I had no idea how big this is! I have thoroughly enjoyed learning everything there is to learn. I am not there yet. I consider myself a computer geek, MAC lover, happy mother to three, husband hugger, teacher talking, just love to catch the moment kind of girl! I have decided right now to put on here my pages, and will eventually, hopefully learn how to make freebies to give away. I have found so many freebies to start my habit, and to that I am grateful!
