It isn’t that I haven’t done anything for the last oh - nine months. I have been doing a lot and I am grateful for all that I have been able to accomplish. So rather than try and go back to where I left off I am going to start with the recent goings on. I took three classes from
JessicaSprague.com over the past few months in order to expand upon my digital scrapbooking skills. I am thrilled with what I learned and how much better and faster I can complete a page. I enjoyed having a class or two to spur me on in completing the documentation of our lives down here in Panama. In fact, one of the projects in the Digi in Deep class was a book. I used that assignment as an opportunity to make the grandparent’s Christmas gifts for this year. Then I took a class called Type + Writer. It was awesome. We worked on journaling and typesetting. The typesetting part I have down. The journaling not so much. I need to make myself do it more often. The last class I took was an Introduction to Shoebox. Shoebox is a browser for us Mac types that allows us to categorize digital stuff on our computers. I am using it to categorize and really be able to use my digital scrapbooking supplies and also to categorize and organize all of the photos we have taken since we have gone digital. Between the kids and the business we have a ton of photos. This is going to be a long term project; however I believe it is going to really pay off.
Jessica Sprague is offering a class for free in November. The registration for the class begins on October 20 at midnight. It is a great opportunity for those of you who are interested in digital scrapbooking and or just telling your stories. The class is called Stories in Hand. You can find out more about it
here. I am going to take it. I have learned so many new and valuable things in each class I have taken that I do not want to miss out on this one.
So here are a few of the layouts we did in my different classes:
