Digital Discovery

I was the Digital Discovery Dec. 2008... Check it out.. TOO COOL
http://www.scrapstreet.com/mag08/2008dec/bytes/digidisc.htm



When I saw these photos I knew I wanted to make a freestyle layout. I love to use doodles and white backgrounds.

Digital Supplies: Page Kit from Bright Days of Summer by Lauren Bavin, Floral Swirls by Lisa Carter, Flower Dots Quick Click by Lisa Carter, Primary Brights BackPack by Lauren Bavin, Tape It! Element Pack by Stacey Jewell Stahl, Date Stamps by Tina Chambers (all at Digital Scrapbook Place).

Journaling: Grayson, such a sweet boy. You don’t want to be left out of anything even a photo of the girls. You love to be with them and do whatever they are doing. I love you. Alexa, Amelia, Abby, K.K. and Grayson.

Queen of My Heart
Digital Supplies: Page Kit from Queen of Hearts by Irene V. Alexeeva (Scrap Orchard).
Journaling: Amelia 04/2006

Hot Rod by Reba McNew. Digital Supplies: Wishing On a Flower Page Kit By Irene Alexeeva (Scrap Orchard), Sign by Julia Makotinsky, Frame: Out of Bounds by Elisabeth Weaver, Fonts: Lil Dreamer (Irene Alexeeva), Stamp Act Jumbled.

Journaling: Grayson and Katelyn of the Motorbike that lasted one hour and broke.
Design notes: This was such fun to do! I love out of bounds layouts. I had this girlie kit and just knew it would work for a total boy layout. Our grandson was so excited to get his new motorcycle. He rode it for about 20 minutes and then Katelyn tried and it broke. I am glad I got these photos because I don’t think they will get another one for a while. I think our daughter was the happiest that it broke.


I wanted to make this a fun layout with lots of word art and doodles. I used highlighter and boxes to emphasize certain words in the journaling and created the background paper using a napkin from Rene Bross’ Summer Picnic Page Kit.

Just FUN Freestyle by Reba McNew. Digital Supplies: Paper, napkin, fun element, flower binder clip: Summer Picnic Page Kit by Rene Bross, Sweet Pix Page Kit by Stacey Jewell Stahl, Arrow stamp from Stamp It! by Stacey Jewell Stahl, Photo Edge 12x12 Edge Pack by Stacey Jewell Stahl, Girl Notes Soooo Cute!!! by Lauren Grier, To The Extreme Element Set 2 by Lisa Carter, Boy Oh Boy Word Art Overlays by Suzanne C. Walker, CreativeExpression Doodles by Tracy B, Doodley Boys Things Brush Set 02 by Meryl Bartho.

Journaling: March 1981 - Billy this is a memory I do not want to forget. You are 1 year and 3 months old. We had this AVT, the newest thing. We lived in an avocado grove in Homestead. Every day before your nap we would go for a ride. Back then the gas was on the handle bars. We were going down the trail and I hit a hole, my thumb pushed the gas, and we ended up in a fence. I was so scared. Then looked at you & you had this huge smile and you said “Do again Mommy”. You were never scared of anything but bugs. It made my life very interesting. Love Mom
