I have started buying digital scrapbook kits and am having a blast learning to use them in Photo Shop with my photos. I create them in a 5 by 7 or 8 by 10 size in Photo Shop, then save them as a high quality .jpeg and then send them to be printed. They come out really nice printed. Then I add them to my 12 by 12 scrapbook layout and include embellishments and journaling. The pages turn out great. Here are some I have done and printed.

 

Here are some of the sites I LOVE for Digital Kits:

Ginger Scraps
NitWit Collections
Just So Scrappy 2
The DigiChick
Sweet Shopp
My Memories

If you aren't sure then download some of their freebies to get started.
Also, here is a great link to photoshop tutorials for digital scrapbooking

Well, it has been too long since my last post. Over the last part of summer I was still counting points but the hot weather made me not as active. Thus, I gained a few pounds back. When the weather turned cooler I got motivated again and began walking again an average of 2 miles 3 times a week. I am happy to report I lost the few pounds plus more. I am now down 11 pounds since May and that is a great accomplishment for me. I am now more motivated then ever because in March 2013 I am going on a cruise with my mom and girlfriends. I have a goal to lose at least another 20 - 25 lbs so I won't be so self-conscious in a bathing suit. So I have the rest of October, November, December, January and February to get the pounds off. I know the holidays will be tough with all the goodies but I have learned it is all about the choices you make and if you really want something you sacrifice something else for that item. This week was a co-workers birthday at work and the cake was a snickers ice cream cake that I wanted so much. But, after losing 1.8lbs this week I decided it was not worth it because I have worked too hard so I gave my cake away! Like my friend Jules tells me it is just food. I will keep everyone posted on my weekly results as I continue to reach for my goals. 

 On another note my great nephew is growing too fast and he is so precious, I have been able to see him every few weeks and here is a picture.

I am also busy scrapping Christmas gifts because as usual Christmas will be here before we know it. I am going to a scrapbook retreat this weekend and looking forward to good times with my scrapping sisters.
