kraft paper and a spool of ribbon.

A final idea is a minutes album.

Rubber Stamping isn't just for card makers!

I have been enjoying so many of the new
features of StoryBook 3.0. 

Rubber Stamping wasn't one of those. 

I didn't quite understand why I would ever need that in scrapbooking. 

I thought it was just for card makers.

Until one day I was just messing around and figured out why

Rubber Stamping is great for Digital Scrapbookers too.

Here is a sample page that is not using rubber stamping. 

I have used the great papers from the

black and white power palette

and then used the flowers from the jewel power palette and the camera from the gazebo pack. 

It doesn't all coordinate together, does it?  Well...rubber stamping would be the solution.

You right click on any item and can choose rubber stamping. 

You then can choose a color or a paper to fill it. 

Now I like this page much better because it all coordinates together. 

How fun!  Enjoy this great tool.

October Calendar Girls Rock

Just wanted to thank everyone who came out yesterday to our October Calendar Girls Crop.  We had 19 ladies come through out the day.  Thanks so much Tammy for hosting this fun event.  We had a great time together.  I think everyone learned something new. 

I shared how amazing the new content manager is and demonstrated how organized you can be because of it.  I can now find things based on keywords such as "flowers, fall, christmas, family".  It is wonderful.

Now when you are in a project in Storybook you can click on Keywords...

...then I can click on any of my keywords.  Here I chose Fall from the list and all my fall items come up (no matter what collections they are in!)  I love it.  Now I don't have to search through each digital kit to find the right fall embellishment or paper.

If you right click on any embellishment it allows you to preview it which zooms in on it. 

It makes it much easier to read. 

Don't forget to upgrade to StoryBook 3.0 if you have 2.0.  It is $9.95 this month only.

Make a Wish Croptoberfest

I am so excited to offer this event to all of you.

Register soon to take part in the early bird special. 

Having a Blog makes me SMILE!

Well this is it, my first post on my blog.  How exciting! 

I love capturing moments with my camera that are very everyday. 

As many of you know our family has moved to our little cottage.  We are busy making memories of our new adventure.  Life is more simple here and I am enjoying being away from the busy life for a bit.  I hope you will be encouraged to grab your camera today and capture moments that tell about your everyday life.
