scrapbook page
i found this site to make scrapbook pages. i love to scrapbook and spend a lot of time doing it.
i have been playing with it. my first attempt has some odd pictures but it did let me load the original movie i made for "day spent walking" with the music, thus i am posting it. just ignore all the ucky pictures of me.
also forgive me in advance as i made a few of these that i am going to post.
I do so admire anyone who can create beautiful pages as you have done.....my daughter loves to scrapbook and has far more talent in that department than her mother.......
my scrapbooking is usually very untraditional. i like to tear paper and burn the edges and use things that are unique, so the way this came out is very different from what i normally do. but it was fun to try. it is templates and you add your own words. i was actually looking for a new template for my blog page when i stumbled onto this smilebox. i like to try new things, even though on the computer it is always a challenge. once i got the hang of it i made a few more in a relatively short time. i think you all can click on the smilebox at the bottom of the blog page and it would take you to that spot if you are so inclined. it shows up with pictures already to the side and they load for you but once you get the hang of it you can download pictures of your choice and add them to lots of choices of templates. i am going to be playing with this for a while and maybe even printing some of them. thanks for bearing with me, that is why there are so many strange pictures in this one. i have made a few i like alot better but this one had the movie with music. happy november!
Maybe I would actually get around to scrapbooking again if I did it online??? (I did have to click twice for it to show up btw). You are the guru of scrapbooking genius on paper so don't worry about the computer challenges... all is forgiven. Those were some cute pages, too.
thanks meems, guru marmee, it has a nice ring to it. i am trying to get back to the paper kind recently because i love it so. there is never enough time to do all the fun things. have to ask you about your new template, did you have to pay for it? the place i found was.harging, yuck! it is fun to change it up but not for a price,

I am a happily married woman of 27 years. I lived in Florida for 40 years and moved to Tn in 2000. We lived in the city of Brentwood for 6 years and move to Leiper's Fork in May of 2007. We have been in the country for about six years now on a 7.24 acre farm. We call it Dash Home Farm. Da-for Dave and Sh-for Sharon. We live in a victorian farmhouse made to look old(it acts old). We love the community of Leiper's Fork and the quaintness of the town (no lights).

That was really cute. I enjoy scrapbooking in the traditional way, but have never tried it online. The page layouts were really nice!

That was very nice, did it take a long time to put it together?
That was fun to watch Marmee. Did that take you forever to create? It looks like it was probably difficult. You did a great job!!

it shows up with pictures already to the side and they load for you but once you get the hang of it you can download pictures of your choice and add them to lots of choices of templates. i am going to be playing with this for a while and maybe even printing some of them.
