It's National Scrapbooking Day

And to celebrate, here are a few things I've been working on lately.

On Saturdays there is a scraplift challenge on the Designer Digitals blog, and this week I have a page in the post. I love scraplifting...someone else designs the page and I get to copy it. The blog post shows the original page by jdcooper, and here's what I came up with:

 
 I had so much fun lifting that I did it again; this time it was a layout by Stacy Cohen in the March/April issue of Creating Keepsakes. This is a photo of my niece Angele's children. I took it last weekend in Houston when we were gathered for a wedding. I have been working to improve drop shadows on my layouts. Every element here has a little shadow applied to make it more realistic appearing. The size and intensity of shadows vary depending on the thickness of the element. I owe both Pattie Knox and Cassie Jones for teaching me these techniques.

 

I hope YOU have a wonderful National Scrapbook Day, whether you are a scrapbooker or not!

Great layout Amy! I love your title. Is it ok if I use it?

I've never commented on your selection of fonts before, so these look really good and convey an emotion as well.

Really nice. I like the variations of both. Love the photo of your momma bird!
