Design + Memories

In a big way, digital scrapbooking was my avenue into an interest in graphic design.  I started doing paper scrapbooking about five years ago, and as I explored what my computer software could do more and more, I began to enjoy scrapbooking's digital cousin as well.  Even though I have a graphic design business now, I still like doing design "just for fun," and digital scrapbooking is one of the ways I can do that.  I thought I'd share a few recent pages.  Please excuse any typos that you see...they are a result of Photoshop not having a spell-checker and of rasterizing type layers too soon. :)

I made this page about a little friend of mine named Carter.  He is super fun.


And he has an adorable little sister named Amelia, who is the subject of another recent layout...


I also made this page about a summer visit to the county fair.


And here's one about my recent adventures with self-portraits.


Notice the prominent use of red and turquoise in the last two layouts.  I get the feeling that maybe those are some of my favorite colors.  Do you? 

And here's one more scrapbook page, just for kicks, about the cool signage in Nashville, TN.


Most of the items I used on these pages were from Kitschy Digitals, my favorite digital scrapbook shop.  For any of you font nerds out there, the ones I used on these layouts are CK Becky, Georgia, Hypatia Sans Light, Lane - Narrow, Chunk Five, Another Typewriter, and Daniel.
