So my friend Lisa posted some of her digi-scrap pages on her blog, and I thought I'd do the same. It made me very excited to share what I've been working on! This year has been harder, because I'm working on TWO books instead of one. I'm doing my yearbook, as always, for the year 2009. Which, sad to say, I'm a little behind on. Not too bad, but still behind. And then I'm doing Afton's first year book, which is getting ridiculously long. It's already 60 pages, and I'm only on her 6th month. It's gonna COST ME to get it printed! Well, it'll be around $120 is my guess, maybe more. Not too bad, really. Anyway, for Afton's book I couldn't find a digi-kit that suited my baby girl, so I made my own! My first kit! It's kinda primitive-there's a lot of stuff people do in digital kits that amaze me and I have no idea how they do it. But what I've got works! I print my books from a company called Cherishbound, which binds them in a regular 8 1/2 x 11 size. So these are the two pages together.
Here are some pages from Afton's book:
And here are a few pages from my regular yearbook:
The pioneer day one is the last page I did--so I'm still behind by several months! How am I going to do this with multiple children???
Anyway, it's an awesome hobby to have and I love it. It's still a lot easier than regular scrapping. I just hate how I cut up all my pictures back in the olden days. I have a post all about it if you care to read it.

Hose pages are great! You've inspired me... What program are you using?
How does Cherishbound work? I think I would like to do someting like this for my scrapbooks. Seems easier than the other route.
Doug, I am using Photoshop 7. It's an old program--can't afford the newer versions. But it works fine! Amy--I'll send you a message on Facebook!
I feel so inadequate! Your digi pages are awesome as always. I can't wait to see the finished books (so I can feel even more inadequate and jealous). LOL! I love your books.
K, so I LOVE the every precious piece page. So dang cute. You've motivated me though, I totally need to get into this--finally! Though I know my pages will never look like yours, but its ok, I'm kinda used to mediocrity!
