This year for Christmas, I decided to get ambitious and use my new photoshop toy and all of Kim Greenfield's awesome pictures and scrapbook my parents and Steve's calendars for Christmas. I also put together two scrapbook albums for my Grandmothers. Wow. Let's just say it took a little more work than I thought, but it was fun. I am glad I have now have a creative/artistic outlet and I am glad I can reach out to family. Here are the pages for the calendar.
You are just getting SO awesome as digital scrapbooking. I wish I was taking some cool classes or at least a tutorial or something. What are you using to teach you? I recognize your digital files. I've got the same ones all downloaded, unfortunately I have not been as creative and made use of them the way you have. Thanks for the reminder that I should do more.
I wish I was taking tutorials! Its called playing around until you figure it out. I still feel like I have just tapped the water with the tip of my toe. There is so much more you can do. My most recent feat is learning how to make shadows.
Hello-found your blog through Sam and Jessica. Small world...Steve was my teacher in the MTC. It's been fun reading your blog and getting a sense for your family. It's absolutely no surprise that you often say how often your husband is. His optimism helped me so many times in the MTC. It's good to know that your family seems to be doing so well. -Dan
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
--Marianne Williamson
"You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us.5 The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter. . . . As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you."
--Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Your family is beautiful. We have moved back. I feels good to be back. At least to have my Husband back.
Love the pages Amy. Is this all from shabby princess?
The pages look great! Good work! I'm still at the bottom of the hole, trying to find light at the end of my never ending to do list tunnel.
Love the pics of your lovely family!!
Love all the pics and what you do with them!
