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.

Brooke's 3rd Birthday

I don't remember what I used for the background, but most of this page was made with digital elements I either bought or downloaded off the internet.  The word art that has the number "3" in the middle is actually one of the stamps I have in photoshop.  I used photoshop shapes and brushes to fade away the edges of the photos, and used a transparent frame for the photo on the left.
