i know this is getting a little crazy. sharing another digital page. i promised you that i'm not making some big switch to digital. and i'm totally not. these are just pages that i've been making, while sitting upstairs when the girls go to bed. when i'm not around my supplies, and all i have is my laptop and a comfy chair. trust me, i've been making TONS of paper layouts and projects. i just can't share any of them yet. so bare with me on another digital layout ;)
i used a layered template from cathy zielske to create this layout. it was really simple. just pulled up my photos and plopped them in the template. i changed the color of the stitching and the heart, and added my journaling in the journaling layer. and then i added my digital papers to the template as well.
one of my BFF's, lynn, made a comment to me last night that i had to jot down on my blog. she knew i had assignments to work on. and she knew that i was doing anything BUT working on them this weekend. she said, "you give yourself a window of time to work on assignments and you will find a way to close it shut until you have to squeeze through it". i had to laugh, because she knows me all to well. and she did say it out of love and was laughing about it, since we're totally different in this regard. lol! i'm such a last minute person, and a total procrastinator. but i seem to work the best under pressure. it's just what i do. so today, i did lots of other stuff around the house. tomorrow, i will wake up and kick myself for not working on my projects like i should have. but then i'll get them done. "always on time, but never early". that's my motto :)
simply beautiful, Laura! I've wanted to try digi a bit but am so addicted to my paper and glue.
Isn't Lynn so cool?! I loved being able to work with her at the Nook and to be able to count her as one of my scrappy friends.

Hi again Laura, I just saw your cute cards on the Jillibean blog. I love the colors on these cards, have you done a layout with these papers yet, would love to see it. You have been so busy lately, it must feel good though.

You do not need to apologize for doing a digi page. I am enjoying both, new to digi and LOVE it. You do a great job on ALL layouts. I don't think it matters the process but just that we are accomplishing something! Thanks!

Really cute layout! That child is adorable!!!

I am so with you on that motto! I sometimes wish I could change, but it's just so me. Without the pressure, I will just find something else to do! Don't feel so guilty about the digi pages. It is the trend and part of your job to at least have a clue about it right!! And you're rockin' them by the way! That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it!

You are so funny - I am the same way (as you well know)!

Little Nikolas is so cute. I just want to give him a hug every time I see his adorable little face.
You're having fun with the digi-layouts, huh? Looks great!

Niko is such a little cutie! I think it's so cool that you are doing some digi--it makes people like me think "maybe I can do that"! You keep rockin the digi/hybrid LO's! Whatever makes you happy!
And as for procrastinating on the assignments, I'm totally with you! The pressure makes the mojo work better!! ;)
