Return of Scrappy Sunday!

I have decided to go back to Scrappy Sunday posts, with me taking some digi scrapping classes and trying some things on my own as well I have no excuse to not create at least ONE layout a week! Of course I hope to achieve more than one a week but we will start with small goals shall we? hehehe....

Anyway some of you have seen these on facebook already but for those who haven't here is what I have made so far!

 So there ya have it my return to scrapbooking YAYYYY! I cannot rave enough how much I am loving digital scrapbooking and each time I learn something new makes me love it that much more! I will say it is not as easy and quick as I thought it would be that is for sure! There is a definite learning curve especially if you are new to your design program of choice! I cannot recommend the classes on Jessica Sprague's site enough! They are life savers!

I am learning photoshop elements 6 currently and took her free class and the ACDSee class to learn how to create an organized database of my digi supplies (believe me when I say they can accumulate much faster than "real" supplies since so many great free ones are available!). I am also working on Up and Running at the moment.These are such great classes and well worth the price!!!!

I plan to get my layouts printed onto 8x8 pages through persnickety prints that I have read loads of rave reviews about and also there is the option of just getting printed bound books made. Most likely I will have layouts printed to slip into various 8x8 albums unless it is for a particular project, reason being I am NOT a chronological scrapper I just scrap what I feel like at that particular moment!

A Peek into our 2010 Project Life album

Now I didn't end up doing the video as it was hard enough for me to get time and lighting to work with my dying camera to get some quick shots of the pages sooooo without further ado....

Intro Page

January

February

March

Several times throughout the album I put in 8.5 x 11 page protectors to hold some cards and other memorabilia items :)

April

May

June

July

August

September

October

November

December

In December I finally got smarter and ordered my vertical pics smaller to fit into the vertical pockets!!! I really like how these pages turned out and a lot more picture heavy which is perfect for all the Christmas pics!

The final closing page and then a 12x12 memorabilia pocket page for all the rest of our cards and such we received throughout the year
