Some Digital Scrapbooking

My grandchildren...Kyla, Liam, & Eoin (Owen).  I really enjoy digital scrapbooking.  I used Stampin'Up "My Digital Studio".  I have used Photoshop Elements, but seem to go back to MDS.  It's easy, quick, and I can do most of the things that Photoshop does.  I don't just use the Stampin'Up products,  I can also use digital papers, elements, etc. from other companies  MDS seems simplier.  I carry my laptop to appointments where waiting becomes fun and productive.

If you jump over to The Daily Marker, there's some great blog candy!!  I just love her cards and ideas.

Just for fun I made these for the RV.  It seemed to need some crafty elements.  They look nice on the dinette wall.
