What is Digital Scrapbooking?

What is Digital Scrapbooking? Basically it's just like regular scrapbooking except it is digital, everything is done on the Computer. There are many different software programs that you can purchase.
 Adobe photoshop has some of the best photo editing software that is on the market today. Are you ready to begin a new adventure in Digital Scrapbooking?
Digital Scrapbooking or computer scrapbooking is the hottest new way to preserve those special
photos, create unique layouts and transform your photos into memories.
It is a great way to grow your scrapbook supplies using your computer! With the high quality, yet
affordable printers that are available today, you can print photos and other scrapbooking embellishments
right from your home computer! This can help you save time and money while still creating great pages. Print out an entire page layout, a special border, or individual embellishments that you cut out and apply on your

Free Digital Fall Album Template

YEA!!! MORE Free Digital Scrapbooking Album Templates. Well, I was right, fall is in the air, it went from the mid 80's down to the upper 60's to lower 70's. It was so cold the other day we had a fire going in the house. As I was going through my photos to pick the right ones for the templates I noticed I didn't have many fall photos. I have a ton of Halloween and Thanksgiving photos but nothing that is just fall. This is all going to change this year, I am on a mission to take pictures of the trees changing color and of the mountain scenery of course with my kids in the foreground. Anyway here are 4 album templates sized 12" X 12"The will go better with fall photos maybe more serious photos.

Strawberries With Cream Cheese Filling Recipe with Free Digital Recipe Card

Hey everyone, today I wanted to share with you my new favorite recipe.
Strawberries with Cream Cheese Filling. I saw this recipe on the Paula Dean Show and fell in love with these little bites of heaven. I started experimenting with this recipe to make it a little bit better for my taste. I use 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar instead of 1/4. My suggestion would be to use the 1/4 cup and see what you think then add more to your taste. These are simple and easy. They are a bit time consuming but worth every minute. I think they would be great for a special after school snack for your back to school kids so that is why I am posting it now. Click on the recipe card and a larger screen will come up right click on the image and save it to your computer to print.

Back to School #4 Free digital download

OK so now that it is almost time for kids to start back to school it is finally getting nice here. I am not sure how long it is going to last but today really felt like Summer!!! My youngest son Jesse and I went on an adventure to take some photos and ended up hiking Wallace Falls. This is a place that I always wanted to go when I was younger but everytime we went there they were working on the trail, or it was closed because of so much rainfall, or the trail was washed away half way up, always something. Today as I was driving toward the Mountains I decided to take a detour and show Jesse the Falls that I have never seen before. Completely ignoring the fact that we had no hiking gear including water (what was I thinking!!!) but up we went.... The first part of the hike was a pleasant trek up a gradual incline but as we got closer to the falls the incline increased.... and increased... and increased.... The scenery was beautiful but I really didn't notice I was so.... tired. All I could think of "is this ever going to end". But needless to say we finally made it I have a photo to prove it. YEA!!!! I want to share my glory with everyone. Scroll down after the photo to download your Free digital Back to School template. Enjoy

Free Digital Download Back to School Day #3

It's getting closer and closer to School Registration!!! I must say I am a little bit worried about my grandson going into 6th grade he had trouble reading in elementary school and I know he is going to have a tough time adjusting to middle school. He will have no trouble getting along with the kids he is really outgoing and friendly. The education part he struggles with. I believe he has dyslexia he has not been diagnosed with it but his dad and grandfather had it, he reads the same way. With the school system cutting costs, I am not sure he will get the help he needs. As parents we need to fill in the gap where school leaves off. If they cut your child's pe class then make sure they are getting enough exercise at home. Turn off the TV, game boys and x-boxes and get them riding their bikes and playing some kind of sport. Reading is very important start your kid reading early. If they can read and do math they will shine and feel more confident. OK... OK... enough of me ranting, I could go on forever but I will spare you the negative energy that I am starting to feel.

Free Back to School Digital Download #2

Since this is the second time I am writing this, (my computer is acting up again) it will be short and sweet. I hope everybody had a great weekend. We had fun, we went up to deception pass and played on the beach. Not much sun up here but maybe that is a good thing. Today I went through my grandkids clothes that were here, I sent a bunch back home so their Mom and Dad can see what they have and start getting them ready for school.  Which leads me to this, here is the second back to school template for the new school year

Well it's that time again!!! Back to school. THANK GOD all of my kids have all graduated. But I do have 4 grandchildren still going to school. I know how crazy it is trying to get supplies and school clothes ready for your kids. So I thought it would be fun to give everyone a new Back to school template for elementary kids each week. This will save you time and at the end you will have a great digital album to share with your relatives.These are very simple and would be good for Pre K thru 3rd grade. Keep checking back to get the next template.
