I used to scrapbook like a mad woman. I could spend hours cutting and pasting and creating beautiful photo albums. I remember having all my stuff spread out all over the place, and me just happily snipping and glueing away. But the older my big girls have gotten, the busier I have gotten. And that is not even considering the wild Asian tornado in our house now. I can't even remember making a decision to stop scrapbooking. It just kind of happened. I do remember messing around a little bit with digital scrapping before I quit. I really liked it. My family really liked how I could work on it during the day and they still had a dining room table to eat on! I have been reading and studying how to tweak up some of our family photos. Nothing major, just a little brightening and smoothing. With my creative juices flowing, I decided to plant them onto a sheet together, and well, here is the results:
In both layouts, the top pic is the original. In the closeup, I was trying to even out my complexion and hide a few wrinkles character lines. I didn't quite get the results that I've seen from others, but you gotta work with what ya have. In the bottom one, I was basically trying to lighten it all up. But I think I got a little yellow-happy. Oh well, it's a work in progress and I really had a good time piddling around with it.
