One.
My blog. I designed the background by myself, well following THIS guidance to make it work.
I learned last year how to design my own header but never how to do my own background. So yay, for something new!
side note: The picture in my header was taken by the awesome Ginger Skillen Photography!
Two.
Another thing I love about digi scraping is all the cool things you can do quickly with it.
My background took my 15 minutes to design.
I made toy room storage bin labels in 15 minutes.
I designed Lo's birthday invites using digi scrapbook stuff in 5 minutes
as well as Micah's birth announcements in 5 minutes.
Do you realize how expensive birth announcements are. Seriously that alone paid for my photoshop. I got 65 birth announcements and 10 birthday invites for around $11 total!
Three.
And in the last week maybe two I have gotten Micah's scrapbook {post to come soon} done through month 2 and well into month 3! He will be 4 months next Monday. Again yay me! Sometimes you are the only one to pat yourself on the back. :)
Just a few more fun ways digi scrapbooking has come in handy for me. I hope you like my new blog layout, if not don't tell me it will hurt my feelings. :) I still have some tweaking to do, such as getting my blog roll re-listed {so if you get left off my blog roll, please let me know...mommy brain is still in full effect.} Why does it do that? So annoying. But it is a start! One day I will master you HTML! :)
I'd give you one big pat on the back if I were there for getting that much of Micah's scrapbook done. I'm still stuck at 17 months for Katelyn. I was getting close until she had to go and turn 2 on me! One of these days! Can't wait to see it all!
ReplyDeleteThe new blog layout looks great! Way to go girl!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Like really LOVE it!! Do mine do mine!! You deserve a HUGE applause for all you are doing to document your kids lives!!
ReplyDeleteI really should get on your digi scrap booking wagon BUT really I am super dumb!! Please don't say I can do it, b/c the bottom line is I NEED someone to walk me thru it VERY slowly!! Just like you had to baby step me thru the whole blog world!
WOW!! Just love the blog--it is so cool and my fav colors too!!
O yes and your last statement about conquering HTML made me laugh out loud!!
Way to go Michelle!!! I think it looks great! And I love looking at your scrapbook pages. (Do you make Chad look at every single one? I always make Shane and fully need kuddos for them. He's learned to just expect it since he is learning just how much effort I put into them!)
