February template fun

Here is a template to enjoy and have fun with.  Thanks to Bonnie for sending me the screen shot of this idea.  

Update on where this template came from:  “This was a design that was inspired by Janet from Facebook. She was at the hairdresser and saw a piece of wrought iron artwork. Took a photo of it and emailed it to me. Who would have thought of making this as a template. Her and I put our heads together and came up with this template.
It is a good lesson for all of us scrapbookers to look our around for ideas for page designs.”  This is on Brenda’s blog http://scrapitdigi.blogspot.com/2011/02/wrought.html

The paper for this page is from the Fabulous Digital Content Collection.

Scanning photos

Do you have a lot of photos sitting around, that need to be scanned?  Well, do I have an answer for you.  I was told about this scanner from a friend, and she said it was fast and had good quality.  So I went and checked for myself.  This Pandigital PANSCN06 personal scanner scans at 300 & 600 dpi (dots per inch).  Now every time I scan a photo it is usually at 300 dpi’s unless I want to enlarge a small photo to make it bigger then I use 600 dpi’s. 

With this scanner I was able to scan 500 photos in 1 1/2 hours.  Now can you beat that with a flatbed scanner?  I don’t think so!

If you are interested, do a google search for Pandigital PANSCN06 (model number).  And check it out for yourself.  These are the prices I found in my search. 

Amazon.com price $99.84

Walmart.com $99.84

Buy.com $99.00

Best Buy $119.99

Easily scan photos up to 8.5x11 Scan directly to SD card and comes with five in one reader that reads SD/MS/MSPRO/MMC/XD. No PC needed. Resolution of 600dpi. Simple transfer to your digital photo frame or PC.

Fun new Templates

A friend of mine gave me the idea for these two templates.  Thanks Bonnie!!   The paper used for these pages is the Rugged Baby Boy PO5, the embellishments are from Cheerful Spring Digital Additions.

A photo a day

A lot of my friends locally are doing a photo a day, and some are doing a page a day.  The P2P team has also challenged us to do the same and post our pages on the Facebook group under the Day2Day tab. 

So I took on the challenge, and have really enjoyed taking pictures every day.  When I get to the end of the day and remember sometimes “Oh No, I have not taken a picture today” it is time to freak out and grab the camera!  I do not want to miss a day.  They always say it takes 21 days to make a habit.

So I have created a bunch of pages that I will be using 7 photos on for a complete week.  Then some are doing these full month calendars and I thought why not try it.  So here is my version.  Use the opposite page to do your journaling.

The paper used is the Winter Solstice, the embellishments are Winter Digital appreciation kit. For the title use your favorite font and make it big.  On my font I used the 3-D feature and added a heavy shadow.
