Long Time No Scrapping

It has almost been a year since I've created a scrapbook page. Last August, my trial of Photoshop Elements 5 ran out and I was left with no program to use. In November I was blessed to be given PSE 6 as it was just released. I installed it the next day and tried scrapping with no luck. The first problem I noticed was that some elements of the program were moved, but worse was that our computer did not have enough RAM to run it. This summer Jarrod bought more memory and we just installed over the weekend (Thanks for your help Jeremy!).

Instead of posting my most recent pages, I'm going to post the ones that I had finished last summer that didn't make it here. Then I'll start showing you my new stuff.

As far as the credits go, my chicken scratches on scrap paper have since been thrown away. So as far as who made what & which kit - my apologies! I've now learned how to type that into the file info as I create the pages so this won't happen again.

This was my VERY first page, followed by my second. Can you tell?

This page was really important to my - I never want to forget how precious my little boy was & that he was my first. The tag was inspired by my mother-in-law, Jeanne. (I hope you get a laugh out of it.)

I made this one using a template. I didn't realize that it wasn't 12x12 until I was finished. Nuts!

These pics are from the LaX county fair last summer. I know that it's a combine in the picture, but Jed would call it a "truck" which is why it says "big truck" rather than "big combine."

Jarrod got a little jealous that all the pages I had scrapped were about Jed. So, I had to switch gears a little bit. This page was my first attempt at drop shadows.

I love this one. It's one of my favorites. I created it for a challenge - use the same picture at least 3 times. I'm thankful for the challenge, because otherwise I wouldn't have thought to make the picture transparent. That's my favorite part w/ the text following the outline.

Next time . . . new pages with newer pictures . . .
