Month In Review Scrapbooking
I've been a fan of summarizing my monthly highlights for a long time. I love looking back at the end of each month and seeing all my photos and all the things I've done. By doing this, it gives me a sense of a life well-lived, even though time continues to fly by with blazing speed. :) I do a Month-In-Review blog post on my blog after the end of every month. To do this, I first create a collage in Adobe Lightroom made of my favorite photos of the month. Then I pull up my collage in Photoshop and add a month and year header to my collage. Then I put the completed collage on my blog and write bullet point list of all the things that happened in the month. You can see an example of my blog Month-In-Review blog posts here. I also print out my collages at home on 8.5x11 photo paper. Then I use Photoshop to copy and paste my bullet list from my blog into a … [Read more...]

Hybrid Mailbox Tutorial
There is just something special about receiving a handwritten note from someone you love. With Valentine's Day just around the corner it is the perfect time to get a few notes ready for you to hand out to those you love. I'm getting some ready for my husband and daughters! But this Valentine's season I wanted to extend the love fest to more than one day. I came up with the idea of providing each member of my family with mailbox. Each day in February my family members will receive a little note from me in that mailbox. They also have the option of giving each other notes! I dressed up my mailboxes for the occasion and thought I would share a tutorial with everyone so you can have your own mailboxes!1. Buy a mini mailbox at your local craft store or Target Dollar Section. I've seen these made out of metal and card board.2. Create an 8.5 x 11 document in Photoshop. Using the … [Read more...]
