More Scrapbookin’ Talk
By bella | January 9, 2006
Well, it’s official. I’m 100% addicted to digital scrapbooking. I still plan to do the paper variety, especially when my sis comes next month for a WHOLE WEEK, withOUT the kids!!!! (Yep, just a tad bit excited about THAT!) Traditional paper scrapbooking is great, and it has it’s own rewards and challenges, but it’s not as versatile and easy to do as digital scrappin is. I just counted layouts, and I’ve done almost 40 in less than 30 days. Yea, that’s a lot of sitting at my computer! I’ll probably only get 10 or so done of the paper kind when my sis is here. It will be fun to have a mixture of the two kinds in my albums.
I made a list of my “Must Scrap” to catch up on Samuel’s life, and it’s only 30 or so layouts. That means in a month, I could conceivably be almost caught up! I’ve been working on Baby Allan’s pics as we go, so I’m not too far behind with him. By March, I could be working on pictures AS WE TAKE THEM. Radical!
Here are a couple of the newest layouts I’ve done:
Papers and elements are from “Cute Christmas” and “Falling Snow” kits by Heather Roselli. I created the bow on the present using her papers, and I re-colored the snowflake on the top of the tree, from silver to gold.

So, I’ve been having SO much fun with my new hobby, that I decided it was time to turn it into a part of my business. (Doesn’t that almost always happen for me? The answer is YES!) Creating papers, elements, graphics, etc. for digi-scrappin is really a perfect extension of what I already do. It’s just one more “branch” on the ever growin tree that makes up Delight Design. (It’s almost 1 a.m., so forgive me for the silly cliched talk tonight!) I mainly want to use this new venture as a way to keep the creative juices pumping. It’s really more about keeping my business fun and interesting, as it is about making money. There are some amazing designers out there, doing some terrific things. There are a few who I’ll mention in a future post, for those of you interested in checking out the digi-scrappin world.
I mainly want to have an outlet for the few things I put together. So, with the dawn of the new year, and the beginning of a new adventure, I made some goals for 2006. They are:
- Finish the creation of several already started kits and mini-kits
- Begin submitting layouts for publication
- Become a more regular member of various scrappin sites
- Find my place on two or three Creative Teams
- Begin giving away freebies and selling my kits and other designs
- Use the new blog/site as a way to inspire and help others to do all of the above!*
* The new blog/site is coming SOON. It’s actually up already, but I’m doing a lot of tweaking and figuring out how things will work best. I’ll do an official announcement here, and on my other sites, once I’m a little more happy with the overall feel of it. I expect that it will be sometime AFTER the Bridal Show I’m doing at the end of this month. I need to set aside the digiscrappin for a few weeks and FOCUS, FOCUS on wedding, wedding, wedding wrappers! Oh yea, and CLEAN my house, since my Mom is coming in THREE days!
Off to sleep for now… more soon!
