Hello. My name is Emily...and Im a Scrapaholic!

NOTE: I cant take credit for the cute title. My friend, Maegan, actually has a scrapping business CALLED Scrapaholics, I just think its DARLING!

On our trip to Seattle last week, I got the chance to work on a bunch of unfinished layouts I had created over the last 3 or 4 months...and completed a BUNCH!! I have updated the links under "Scrapbook Pages" so that it will actually take you to all of said layouts. They are categorized by Library of Memories albums. Its pretty self explanatory. I will begin posting credits now, too, so you can see where I'm getting my supplies from.

I am also in the process of organizing and backing up every photo I have taken since 2005, tagging them, and filing all the pics I want to (eventually) scrap. Busy Busy!!

Anyway, Enjoy! And check back! I will be posting new layouts as I create!!

My Newest Passion...

This year, just before the arrival of our Gracie Pie (aka Fatty Farts-a-Lot...classy, Dad!) I began a new journey in the world of crafty Momminess...digital scrapbooking!! I had been playing with Photoshop since back in '07 when Piper deployed to Djibouti for 4 months, and it NEVER OCCURRED to me to use it to scrapbook! Paper scrapping is just not practical for me. I SUCK at being creative hand-to-paper...but give me elements and fonts to copy and paste? JACKPOT! I've since started taking photography more seriously, enjoying the editing of pictures, and creating not just photographs, but memories for my family and friends to share!

I just started reading Photo Freedom by Stacy Julian. Its an introduction into making your scrapbooks into a Library Of Memories. Its a FANTASTIC reference into organizing and creating memorable and BEAUTIFUL scrapbooks! As much as I've enjoyed and learned from my classes from Jessica Sprague, I had NO IDEA how I was going to sort thru all these beautiful layouts (if I do say so myself!) I recommend this book to ANYONE who has any desire to make their scrapbooks, digital or paper, mementos for our childrens children to cherish!!

ANYWAY, Im about to jump feet first into reorganizing THOUSANDS of pictures (2005-now), meanwhile saving up for my new camera! WOO HOO!!
