When I digital scrapbook, I create a whole layout on one document in Photoshop.  After I am finished with the page, I copy and paste each half of the layout onto separate "pages."  That way I can place them in my "books" that are later published.  You'll notice that I leave margins around the edges of each page to make room for "bleeding." Bleeding is where the picture is printed all the way to the edges, and some of the picture is lost in the printing.  

The most pages I have done in one week was about 160, which was a book I made of my family reunion in July 2006.  For the most part, the pages were very simple, and I used very few embellishments (not only because of time constraint, but also because I have five brothers who aren't really into "frills").  It was quite a task.  My mom came out to take care of my kids so I could finish the project before Christmas.  NOTE TO SELF: Don't attempt to do that many in a week again.

Collage 2005

Do you ever wonder what to do with all those craft projects your kids make? Well, I didn't want to "save" them because some had beans and other objects that were falling off. So I make collages of some of the art work done by my kids. I also included tickets and other memorabilia to remember. I just scanned in the papers and then resized them to fit on the page. The background of this one was painted by Brooke.
