my first page

For about 6 months now I have been wanting to make the switch to digital scrapbooking. Every year for mother's day, I give my mom and my mother in law scrapbook pages of the previous year for their grandkids album. My parents went on a mission in 2003, so I decided to take a break from doing the pages until they came back. After they came back, the announced that a year later they were going on another mission. All of a sudden, I was 5 years behind. This year, I made myself get caught up with my mother-in-law and did regular scrapbooking pages. And now I am going to try and digital scrapbook my mom's pages and have them done for her when she gets home from her mission in december. Yesterday, I decided to sit down and start my first page and this is what I came up with.

It took me forever to do, cause I'm not very creative and I am still learning photoshop. Hopefully the more I do, the faster I can get them done and then I can start working on my own albums! It's not fancy like the examples you see on different scrapbooking websites but I am happy with it. I'm so excited! This is scrapbooking I can actually do with little kids around.
