Digital Playing

So I have gotten PS3 and let me say it is amazing...so I thought I would dabble in some digital scrap booking - i am a blog reader and I have my faves that I ready daily and let me tell u I see some amazing layouts and than I find out they are digital and I am blown away.

Now don't get me wrong I am a paper and paint on the hand kinda girl but I thought I would play abit and it's not to bad...now if only I can find a place to print 12x12 I might start to dabble in some highbird scrapbooking where I can get the best of both worlds...

So this is what I have come up with and of course I had to play with everything free I could find to download...and let me tell you there are lots of great sites out there that offer some great digital freebies...

This first one is of 'baby girl', I first played with some action's in photoshop til I was happy and than I followed a tutorial on this site and this is what I come up with...not the best for my first one but believe me it really needs some work!

This next one is of my nephew...he was playing hockey while I was home visiting and when I got home and uploaded the pics to my PC I couldn't help but put a vintage kinda feel to it...This one was rather easy I used a template from this site that came with direction's in the download so it made the process rather simple...I really like this one, I love how clean and simple it is...

My sister-in-law had put up these great shots she took of my nephew's on vacation and even though I had already old school scrapped this I couldn't help but do it again...I think this one really needs to be printed out and framed to hang on my wall...I just love it! I used a pre-set template and for some extra UMFF...i added a texture under it and set it as an overlay...I just love what it did to the sand!

And last but not least my family far, far away...i just love these kids they are so much fun and just love to pose for pics... "A" took these and I just had to have them a play around...I think I am going to print the pic out and for sure do a page for my family album...so there you have it...my first attempt at digital...it has it pros and con's but it was fun to just give it a whirl and with all the free goodies out there I am sure I will be dabbling some more....
