I did it! My first digital layout! I wanted to enter the Becky Fleck Pagemap contest but was crunched for time so I decided to try my hand at this digital thing. It was so easy and the results are amazing. I wish I had a 12 x 12 printer then I could do many more digital pages and get my scrapbooking actually caught up. I didn't win the contest but had fun in the process. I plan on making some digital layouts and printing them in a smaller format for Xmas presents. This could be so addicting! Maybe, I'll look into having someone print the pages for me.
See the digital version here (http://www.paperthreads.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1429&cat=recent&limit=recent).
I also did an actual cut and paste version for my daughter's scrapbook. You can find it here (http://www.paperthreads.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1427&cat=recent&limit=recent). See I loved all the colors available for girl's clothing as opposed to the basic blue, green and red available for my son. I decided to do a layout for each color of her wearing various outfits. I only had one orange outfit but it was too cute not to scrap. The circular cutout and title are my own design. The light blue border is Butterfly Designs marvelous border, borders and more borders file (see details below). I also used my newest addiction dew drops. I buy clear and color my own. (Thanks Shirley Clark for telling me about these!) I even took a white silk flower and colored it brown with fluid chalk. I wish I would have thought to color my own embellishments before I spent oodles of money trying to find the right colors.

I delete the circle part of the border before cutting and tucked half of the border under my patterned paper creating a mini scalloped edge.
Thanks for looking!
