My new found love with scrapbooking!

I have discovered DIGITAL scrapbooking!! I know it has been around for awhile now, but I have just recently started using it and I love it. I have made some cute pages, cards, calendars, and blog layouts so far. I think it is fun to create these things using all the cute digital scrapbooking kits, papers, and embellishments. Fun! I thought I would share some awesome digital scrapbooking sites that I have found:

Scrapblog

Free Digital Scrapbooking

Shabby Princess

The "Kreative Karma"

DigiFree

Digital Scrapbook Place

I know there are other great sites, but I haven't found them yet!

New product in Etsy Shop!!

It's here!! Scrapblock set for sale in our etsy shop. I am so excited about this, because I really like these scrapblocks. They are so cute. Go check it out

Scrapblocks

I call these SCRAPBLOCKS...

(Probably should have turned the blocks around before I took the picture, so the letters were going the same way)

I finally finished making my scrapblocks. I love them! I saw these in someone's house and attempted to make them myself and it worked. I tried to find a tutorial online on how to make these and I couldn't really find what I was looking for. So I wanted to share with you how to make them if you wanted to. The following is an attempted tutorial.

First, I went and bought a 4x4 from Lowes. Then my husband cut the wood into blocks for me.


Then the sanding began. I tried to sand them by hand, but that made my hand sore and took a long time. So I went and bought a sander. I have to say that I love power tools. The sander was awesome and made the sanding so much easier.


After I sanded the blocks, I wiped off each block so they were clean and there was no more sand dust on them.

Then the fun started! I measured different papers to each side of the block and measured my pictures out. Added embellishments. I used mod podge to glue the papers down and then I put another coat of mod podge over the paper, so it is more durable. I put a letter on each block that spells out "family" when the blocks are all stacked together.

Overall, this is a cute project and I enjoyed making them.

The elements and pages are from lots of different Disney things. I am putting up a few pictures of the album here and then the link if you want to view the rest. Scrapbooking is what I love to do and if you or anyone you know is interested in hiring me, please let me know.
