Digital Scrapbooking

In an attempt to scrapbook our wedding photos (aside from having a photo album already), I've decided I'm going to do all of my scrapbooking digitally and then print them out to put in the scrapbook binder, rather than using all the paper materials, although I've seen so many cute paper products. So far, I've been having a blast, I've been designing my own "paper" and layouts. There are so many cool things you can do with photoshop, that making this scrapbook is getting me really excited for my attempt at a degree in graphic design. Here are a few pages I've made so far:

Cute Erica! It's so fun huh? I love Photoshop!! Where did you get all your patterns and such?

Thanks Amy! I've been getting the patterns and the brushes from deviantart.com, that website you told me about, its awesome. I've been making the "paper" myself using the patterns and brushes, so I can have original designs. I know you can download "scrapbook kits" to use, but its so much more fun to just design everything yourself. Thanks for the tip on that website by the way!

hey Erica, those are really good! i have tons of actual paper scrapbooking supplies but i am an AWFUL scrap booker. Your wedding photos are beautiful by the way. =)

Yeah, I love that website! It has some fun stuff. I scanned some of my scrapbooking paper the other day, so I could use it in photoshop. I don't know if they're copyrighted...Anyway, if you want some you can have some!

Hey Erica, things are going pretty good. You are welcome to take my dogs off my hands! (for a little while) haha They have crazy amounts of energy, but they keep me company during the day. They are both pretty cuddly!

I'm hoping to still have the wedding in March, but we'll see. I'm not working at the moment =( which means no money! agh! And that doesn't help when you need to pay for stuff. I already have my dress, and that's as much planning as I really have. But we have family who is going to make the invites, cake, and pictures, so the other stuff should be semi-easy. I just need to find a job first!

How are things going for you? Do you go to school or anything? Sorry for the novel!

yHello,
Yes we did have a super fun Christmas. The house is in Layton and is about the same size as our apartment in Ogden. We are really excited. How are things with you guys. I didn't really get to chat with you on Christmas so maybe we should get together and craft after we move. Also, where did you get your damask fabric?
