Determination

I consider myself somewhat technically inclined. Technology does not scare me, in fact, for the most part I embrace it and am thankful for the ways in which it makes my life better. (I mean, hello - iPad, iPod, etc.)

However, for some reason, I just have not been able to get myself to embrace digital scrapbooking. Creating layouts in CS3 has made me nervous. I could never get the photos to clip into the areas they were supposed to. I tried for two hours last week. Gave up. I bought these templates over the summer, and have been meaning to get to them, because I think it would be fun to create collages to print for our regular scrapbooks. Anyway, despite having loads of other work to do (reading letters, writing summaries, editing photo shoots of mine and others), I decided today was the day. I did it. I finally created a layout, albeit a little boring. And, I couldn't figure out how to get the digi patterned paper as a background, mostly, because I couldn't find where I stored mine on my hard drive.

Anyway, here we go. Perhaps these collages will make it into a digital album printed by Apple. That would be a fun addition to the memory keeping madness around here.
