It's Officially on the Blog!

Dawn has posted my information on the Faithfully Yours Blog! You can find it here: http://faithfullyyours.net/Blog/digitally-inspired/
I'm hoping that I can help them out as much as she makes it sound. If there's anyone who has questions about digital scrapping please feel free to ask me. If I don't know the answer, I'll find out. People have asked what program I use to digital scrap & I thought, wow this can get expensive. But then when I watched a video about traditional scrapping I realized that it was perhaps even more expensive. They have all sorts of gadgets to create their pages -- stamps, cutting systems, fancy scissors, brushes, paper cutters, containers to store all the supplies; not to mention the papers, ribbons, paint, glitter, glue & adhesives that are all consumable. And oh the mess that you have to clean up when you are done.
Now if you scrap digitally, you have the expense of the program you use -- unless of course you use Gimp which is a free download. There are all kinds of free supplies as well, and fonts, brushes, patterns, styles, and so much more for your program. Lots of free tutorials on how to achieve the look you want. When you use a photo, you don't have to print it out or have it printed at the store then cut it  to size only to find that it's not quite big enough to fit your space. With digital you can resize it, of course it's not too good to enlarge it too much. You can blend it into the background paper for an effect you can't get with the traditional method. You can reuse your papers to coordinate an album without purchasing several sheets. You can reuse your embellishments the same. And it all stores on your computer, or an external hard drive.
If you like to go to crops, it's also much easier. When I think of the times I've had my trunk full of supplies for scrapping. Now I just pack up my computer & I'm ready to go. (I use a laptop!) Even if I take my EHD, my Bamboo & maybe a few magazines to get ideas from it doesn't take too much.
So, give it a try. I started in 2006. Gradually I did more digital & less traditional. By 2008 I had pretty much gone totally digital. I still have a lot of my traditional supplies, but I'm ready to clean them out now.
I've gone on long enough, but it's something that I really believe in, something I really enjoy, and I feel blessed & honored to be a part of Faithfully Yours. And I feel blessed & honored that God has led me to take the steps down this path. I pray that I will be able to bring glory to God in the venture.
