"How many things is this girl trying to do?" You may be asking yourself. :) I'm not taking pictures right now, because after taking my family (all the Smiths) out for pictures in the snow & freezing cold weather, I decided to wait until the Spring, so anyway, back to this cool kit... for Christmas I got this handy little computer program, and for the past month I have been teaching myself how to create my own digital scrapbook kit. My goal was to have it done by Feb. 1st, and wah-lah... It's Done & ready for you to download!!!! I have been so excited about this! I honestly had NO idea that I could design something like this... I guess anything is possible! :) Okay, here is the coolest thing... I have NEVER been able to draw, I always thought my sister Jen was so cool because she could draw all these cute little stick figures and I could draw the stick, but NOTHING else, so one day I said to myself "Self, you can do this! Just try it, and you can erase anything that doesn't work" So I tried it, did a lot of erasing, but no tracing, and my little chicks and branches turned out so cute! (At least I think so) :)
So anyway, now here is the cool part for those of you who are into digital scrapbooking. You can go to my new site here and download this cute little kit just in time for Valentines Day! And the best part... IT'S FREE! "Why Melissa? After all that hard work?" Honestly I had SOOO much fun doing it I couldn't even sleep at night because I wanted to keep learning & I actually wanted to wake up early in the morning so I could keep learning (which for those of you who know me, know I am NOT a morning person). So, I hope you enjoy this! Please pass the word along to all of your friends who do digital scrapbooking. (You do need to have some sort of digital scrapbooking program or photoshop to use this, and I have directions on my blog for downloading) The little chicks work like stickers... How cool is that! Can you tell I'm just a little bit excited! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Happy creating.... :)
All of my family was able to be here for New Years Day, so we all went outside to take pictures in the freezing cold weather. The little kids didn't last too long, and our cheeks were extra pink when we were done, but it was so nice being with all of our family! I love my family so much! Later that day we all went to my parents house and had a big fondue party with TONS of food to warm our bellies. :)(Here's a trick question... did we honestly get all 7 grandchildren to look at the camera and smile?)
I guess only I will know. :)
